Error on mobo suggestion: Any that supports 400MHz FSB and w/a KT600 Chipset

CPU: AMD Athlon XP3000+ (any with Barton core)

Mobo: ASUS A7V600-X or A7N8X-X (any that supports 400-600MHz FSB)

Graphic Board: ATI Radeon 9600SE Atlantis 128-256MB, Leadtek Winfast A310/A360 TD 256MB (any radeon/nvidia card with 128-bit color procs.)

xcalibur, did you use a spyware cleaner program or uninstalled a program which has links to this software or modified the registry?

Try completely removing outlook express, using uninstaller programs such as mcafee uninstaller before reinstallation and update.

Or try to restore your PC system to a previous state when it was still functioning. I recommend you to make back-ups and copying them externally or on another drive before doing so.

Yes, the specs does refer to all barton core amd processors.

Barton core athlons - XP2500+, XP2800+ (also has a thoroughbred core), XP3000+ and XP3200+. All barton cores have a 512KB L2 cache size.

To verify a processor, you must run a cpu id detector e.g sisoftsandra.

If your mobo supports it, try the athlon XP3200+ with 400Mhz FSB.

What's really disturbing is that PCExpress (Shaw) and a Villman branch were among those raided and found to have fake AMD chips. If one branch has fake/overclocked chips, you can assume that the other branches have them as well.

Gosh, I buy most of my hardwares in those shops mentioned. Whats next? - selling

surplus brands by modifying the casing and tampering the stickers making it look like brand new, like some mobile phones that are being sold in Ghills.

I recall someone I know bought a brand new Pentium 4 processor (forgot where he bought it),when he opened the package at home, 3 PINS are missing from the CPU. The shop would not replace it, they say it was user fault. I said that he should have inspected the CPU before leaving the shop.

Sir deus, heto po ung result kong WCPUID:

does this mean i was given an overclocked xp1500 running at xp2100 rate? Hindi po kasi ako marunong gano sa pc eh... pls help me interpret the data. Thank you po.

Sorry for replying late in_vitro, sir. I was wondering if you ran CPUID under this bios settings

internal clock: 1.733 GHz / 1733Mhz

multiplier: 13

system clock/FSB: 133Mhz

Vcore: 1.60-1.65 or 1.75

--- I think not.

Anyway the result of Family : 6 (7), Model : 8 (8), Stepping ID : 0 (0)

states that your CPU Core is Thoroughbred A (if you bought it at 3rd quarter 2003,

Thorougbred A cores are almost non-existent, the shop should be selling Tbred B cores). This also means XP1500+ is out since its family-model-ID is 600. But, XP1700+ to XP2000+ is also 681. CPU core is used to identify the overclocking capabilities of the CPU.

One thing I forgot to tell you, sorry about this, is to benchmark your system. Go to this link www.dr-hardware.com and download dr hardware 2003 utility (2.2MB). I prefer this utility tool cause it directly shows what is your CPU type even if it is under/overclocked plus a lot of nice functions to help you get more information about your installed hardwares, OS etc. Also recommended is SiSoft Sandra 2003.3.944 at www.SiSoftware.net/sandra/

(5.5MB)

CPU ID tab for dr hardware: hardware-cpu-CPUID, multiprocessor info

CPU ID tab for SiSoft Sandra: information modules-cpu and bios information

Assuming that it is XP2100+

1. Your bios settings should be as above with DDR 333Mhz,

2. make sure that the AGP is configured to 4X with 64MB AGP memory

3. most importantly, the drivers for your motherboard should be installed prior to the installation of the VGA driver (updated driver recommended) otherwise your agp will be running at 2X mode even if it is configured at 4X mode.- this thing made me crazy a year ago when I bougth a 64MB MX440SE VGA 4X on Pentium III platform, thought that I've new defective VGA.

a. Check this by going to display properties - settings - advance - Geforce MX440 tab and look at the BUS speed of the vga.

4. DirectX version should be at least 8.0 to use the full potential of the VGA. Did you run warcraft on Windows XP? - This OS runs on DirectX8.0

5. In game, on the video option settings, set it all to medium then if everything is well, customize it according to you likings but remember you are only using

64MB MX400 chip so don't put it all to max settings.

6. Lastly, look at the read me files, instruction files, of the software and see if it has

problems running on different OS and Nvidia drivers specifically.

Hope this solves your problem.

If I may, why do you need windows 98 OS?

AMD athlon xp 2100+ yung binili ko po, 256mb DDR 333mhz, MSI kt3v mobo 333mhz fsb, 80 gig Barracuda HD partitioned into 3 drives, asus CD-rom, asus CD writer, hindi po built in ung video e (inno3d Geforce2 MX/MX 400). Thermal take volcano ung fan po, may 3 auxilliary fans sa casing. Im running dual OS, win98SE and winxp. The only game this unit can play before was Ragnarok. It hangs on Warcraft, Starcraft, Command and Conquer, Battle Realms, GTA... pero since i had it configured on xp 1500+ nakakalaro na po ako ng games. im starting to doubt na 2100 nga ung chip ko eh. meron po bang harmful effect ang underclocking?... like what im doing right now? thanks po ulit sa mga reply nyo.

There are rumors about resellers selling overclocked processors with motherboard on a lesser price. Let say a 1.7GHz AMDAXP2100+ processor clocked to 2.0Ghz making it appear AMDAXP2400+ and selling at the cost of a AMDAXP2400+. To determine such fallacy you need to have a program which identifies the CPU ID such as a bundled software for the mobo (e.g. ASUS PC Probe for ASUS mobos) or commercially available WCPUID by H. Oda, fresh diagnose, dr hardware 2003 etc. Search the inet for more programs.

In your case, your CPU should run fine at 1.733 GHz Clock Speed (XP2100, Thunderbird), 1.75v Vcore, 13x133Mhz FSB, 266 or 333DDR. Maximum of 85C cpu core temp. A 300W PSU is enough for you setup but a warning using generic PSU is that it cant sustain a 300W output. If you are experiencing "program hangings" it may be that your PSU is not giving enough juice to system. Try investing on a good PSU (HEC, ENERMAX or ANTEC).
