for new parts and trying dif things with no luck I know what you mean. I would normally try a new graphics card, cpu or psu first too. It looks to me like you have done already so that only leaves the mobo or cpu. Why not try your cpu in your friends mobo...

which the mobo might not support. And upgrading firmware along with the BIOS doesn't always solve these problems. To be fair, these things can happen to a mobo for Intel CPU's too. Now, if you upgrade your CPU every few months, keeping the Socket on mobos standard...

Hyper Transport speeds, if I chose to go with Intel I'd have a 1,333Mhz CPU and MoBo with 800mhz DDR2 RAM, where with AMD I'd have a 2000mhz CPU, 2600mhz MoBo, and still 800mhz RAM. Do I even have to really worry about the difference between FSB and Hyper Transport?...

single CPU ACPI mobos then everything works. It makes no difference is one is a VIA chipset and Athlon and the other an Intel chipset and an Intel CPU. Do I have this right so far? If one is going from a single CPU case to a new P4 supporting HT then...

be anything else on my mobo which could limit the performance of a modern AM3 cpu? My mobo is limited to a TDP of 95 watts, so I know I should not go for a cpu which needs more. So there is 1 thing left which puzzles me: My mobo is limited to a HyperTransport...

too, but once you take the cover off you find a mess. From the article... Well yeah…. Ya think maybe that’s why they changed the company name from Apple Computer Inc. to Apple Inc.? The title of this article implies that a comparison in performance...

your mobo. Maybe it only supports 2 gigs! Thats the risk you take when you mix and match ram, and its not suggested to do so, by microsoft, and by most mobo vendors. You take your chances when you choose to do so. Does it suck? of course, can you fix it? dunno....

giant intel. Intel has much more money/resources then both companies put together. *** ing cpu is 300$ dont even imagine gpu. AMD will beat them in this domain anytime. The only reason they dont in CPU is because the price of a cpu is somewhat low ANYWAY so...
