Alright, I'm doing an upgrade, and here's my problem. I'm using an EP-8K3a+ mobo, corsair pci 3200 memory (yes I know it's over for this board, it's intentional) and an XP 2600 chip. The problem is that the system is registering the processor as a XP 2000+. In windows it does the same. Help please, thank you

You'd think someone would write a FAQ or something! Wait a minute, someone DID!

I've had several contributions suggested, and while they were great suggestions...have you seen how LONG that FAQ is? Hehe, I'm trying NOT to make a book out of it!

You should ask fredi to make the link color of all the FAQs a diffrent color, such as red this way it will get people's attention. I am guessing most people dont even look down at the forum before they frantically post about their unsolvable problems.

I think someone should write a cpu FAQ too.

What could somebody possibly write in a CPU FAQ that would be unbiased?

Not about brands, but explaining what registers are, what instruction sets are, what cache does, what prefetching is things like that. I mean thease are things that most people just don't know, it would really set newbies on the right track.
