20 Most Recent Intel (RK80532PG0881M) Pentium 4, 3 GHz Processor - Page 9 Questions & Answers

I start out on the Asus site. I ask the customer what they need the computer to do. Then I look up the chipsets on the motherboards to see what they are capable of. If you want good graphics for photo programs, or gaming, you would want a good graphics card. That card also has a chip on it. Every motherboard and graphic card maker uses some of the same chips. Just because you like Envidea , Geforce or ATI, you do not have to buy that brand brand. Asus makes great motherboards and Video cards. The have proven themselves and won many awards. Asus also makes their own Laptops. You can go (here) to read about companies that make laptops.

The main thing is to make sure that the chipset is a good strong chipset. The chipset on the motherboard or video card are more important than the processor or memory. You can get the fastest processor and memory and put in with a crappy chipset and you will have a crappy computer. The chipset tells everything how to work. Asus usually uses the best chipsets, but they do have some low end boards. Most of their low end boards have video onboard. You want to match the processor with the chip[set speed if at all possible. If the processor that matches the speed seems too high, you can go with a slower bus speed processor. This will enable the customer to be able to upgrade later. They have motherboards that they considered ROG certified boards and those some of their best boards right now. Check (these) motherboards out. I have used one of these boards recently in a build. (This) is the one that I used and it was well designed and had very good quality parts. I only use Maxtor or Seagate Hard Drives because they are very good and have a 5 year warranty. I only use Pentium Processors because it has a TRUE clock speed and overclocks very well. Amd's are not for me because in the past they had trouble with a heat issue and that turned me away. They are supposed to be better now but I just do noy want to try them again. The same goes with IBM / Hitachi hard drives. I have used them in the past and gave them a try when Hitachi bought them out. In the past they were **** and took 3 months to get back from service. The new drive that I used died one day and I could not even retrieve my information off of it.
In a laptop I prefer ASUS because of the construction and how dependable they are. I have a L5000 series laptop that is over 3 years old that uses a 2.8 gig socket 478 processor and 1 gig of memory and 128 MB ATI video chip. I have not been able to find another laptop that my customers have brought me recently out do it.

Never use less that 2 gig of memory with VISTA and never use less than 512 mb of memory with XP. Try to stay away from onboard video unless you check out the video chipset. Some new motherboards are supposed to be coming out with high end video onboard. If you ever have the chance, go to a real computer show with Motherboard, Video, and Processor Manufacturers. Microsoft is usually at these conferences. This is a good place to learn and see the upcoming new things. You can also check out the web sites of these people and join there dealer programs. Intel has a thing on it's site to where you can find out when they will be dropping prices and coming out with new processors.

Now if you need information on a good system to build let me know. I will be glad to help you.

dont worry....most chances are that it would work even if you place it in your mother board...

for more optimum results place the broken pin into the empty slot by counting where the pin will be placed

it would work for sure

Of course is has to do, almost everything has to do with overclocking, but what is that you need to know really? ... and personally I strongly recommend NOT TO OVERCLOCK.

Foluwa,
You can go here: http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/my_systems_info/details?c=us&l=en&s=gen&~tab=2, and enter your service tag number (would have done it for you if it was posted) and you'll get your systems configuration and should be able to determine *********** Board, Socket, and max Processor that it will support.
Good luck.

Go to control panel then add hardware then once that is don't click on ive connect the hardware then see witch hardware isn't connected then press search from the software\are

One possible work around
Provided you have access to another PC and feel comfortable with taking your hard drive out of your PC and putting it back in

1. buy a USB external hard drive enclosure and install your hard drive into it
2. connect this USB hard drive to another PC
3. create some free space by deleting some files (see Safe files to delete below for details)
4. reinstall hard drive back into your PC and try to boot normally

Safe files to delete
1. temporary files - on Win XP these are normally in "C:\WINDOWS\Temp"
2. temporary internet files - on Win XP these are normally in "C:\Documents and Settings\[Your Username]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files"
3. other temporary files - on Win XP these are normally in "C:\Documents and Settings\[Your Username]\Local Settings\Temp"
Note that if you have more than one user account on the PC, then each user could have files that are safe to delete in the folders mentioned in number 2 and 3

hi Rileysue ... what is the model of your HP? ... the ram modules generally have to match each other ... brand should make no difference at all .... start by removing all of the old and add one stick of the new ... you may also have to go into the BIOS each time and verify the change in ram size ... then add the next stick and so on...

Why don't you try to restore it to a previous state....coz if you keep on getting the same message all-over again your unit might have been infected by a virus.....coz not all anti-virus can actually guard your PC..some still manage to go through....try restoring it to an earlier state.......

search it on toggle.com

Hi,

If you connect it to the charger again is it charging ???

If not then you need to get it checked or get the charger replaced...

Today core 2 duo systems are on the top!
also a good think to look for is atleast 2GB or more of ram memory. If the laptop has vista then 2GB is minimum I recommend.

what will you use the pc for? Il know how to guide you better ones I know that since gameing and working require difrent things, or you could wind up paying too much for something you have no use for.

you need driver for your cpu why?

if your bios doesnt detect it correctly you need to update your bios, but in most cases there is no need to isntall a cpu driver.

All your data/music are store on your Hard Drive (HD). If you got your old hard drive back, you should able to see all your files. Changing your mainboard doesn't effect what you saved on your HD (pictures, music.....) .

As for the icon for your music, you can dowload and reinstall muscimatch, then all your icon will reappear as you saw them before. With any windows system, certain file are assosciated with certain file. ie word document will have a ".doc" file extentsion. Wonce you reinstall Musicmatch, musicmatch will be your deault player thus having your old icons back.

call dell up to cancel. Useless to post it in this forum.

you are infected with a virus/trojan. Sorry to say the easiest way to remove it is to reformat you hard drive. Your registery is now infected.

If you want to try to remove it, something like ad-ware or spy bot. It's free, but it will not remove all the trojan on your computer. I seen this happen to alot of people. You can google your problem and see alot of people are in the same boat as you.

The answer is no because your motherboard still only supports 32 bit drivers. Read On.
