I dont use any instant messaging, and dont really care to use it anyway...I dont see the point, plus Im out for a lot of the day between work and college, and then I waste my study time here...maybe THAT's why my grades suck.

Well, now Im working on OCing the ol Duron 800 to 1GHz...yup Eddie, you were right, had to put the lead down thick. Ive got it at 950 MHz right now with no voltage adjustments. Im gonna try to get it to the gigahertz speed...hopefully I can make it. I dont expect more than a 200MHz overclock,but I'll see. Hehehehe.

Oh, yeah!!!!! 1GHz, baby!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont think I push my luck any more for the time being, but I'll see. I might push for 1.1 GHz, but I dont know how much I'll have to bump up the voltage. Ive got a Global Win FOP 38 and it seems to be doing alright, but I probably shouldnt push my luck. Oh well...See, Pimpin, how good of a deal you can get with the Durons? Just take care and buy a good cooler--no cheap sh*t, actually spend some good money on one...at least $20, but expect more like $25-$30 for starters. There is one mondo cooler from Swiftech that is $70, but it uses those four holes around the socket to be installed and you have to take your mobo out to put it on, but the cooling is damn good. Check out Toms Hardware for the cooler review.
Where I live, I was able to get my Global Win FOP 38 for $21 + tax, but dont go for some cheapo HSF or you'll be buying ANOTHER cpu, and of course that would suck big time.

Whoops!! Looks like I pushed my luck too far, wont run stable at 1GHz Oh well, 950 off of an 800MHz Duron is still pretty good for an overclock.
 
I wasnt betting on more than a 200MHz overclock in the first place anyhow, so Im not really all that surprised. Oh, well...

And strikeeeeee 3!!!! No go at 950! Damn! Oh well, I put it back to the 904MHz I already got...so close, yet so far...I think Im really to the point where it doesnt do me too much good to overclock much more than this and have a stable system.

Yeah, had to use a magnifier to get it to go, but its all kinda wasted, but at least I know how far I can probably push the ol' Duron and I think Im not gonna get much more and still be stable. Oh well, it was kinda fun just to see it hit 1GHz, too bad I couldnt get it to stay.

I've made mention of the Faraday Systems ColdForge AA-15 a few pages back.
 
Tomorrow, 4/6/01 , is Cold Friday.
 
Sadly, it's not yet set for final release, but the final(?) prototype is done and has been shipped.
 
New pictures of the ColdForge will be posted at
www.hardforum.com (the forums of [H]ardOCP) in the "Cool Cases" section by Stiltner .
 
If you're as interested as I am in this uuber-kickass case, then..well...there's the latest info.

Yeah, by the pic I saw before its gonna be nice and big, unfortunately, my browser wont stay on it long enough for me to do anything...thanks dad, for trying to change the IP address, now some of MY bookmarked sites wont come up.
I may try to get it to go to 950MHz again and push the voltage up all the way, but Im not holding my breath for this one after what I just saw...but at least I unlocked the multiplier.

Make sure the IDE and Floppy ribbons arent cut or stripped ANYWHERE! Also try having the Burner on one IDE channel and the DVD on another. Then have your hard drive hooked up to the RAID (copy the files for the RAID controller over to a floppy).
