ok.... im trying to figure out 2 things....

is there a software (or 2) that can tell you:

1. the bus speed the RAM is going at? for example.... 266, 333, 400....etc...

2. if the vid card is running at 2x, 4x, or 8x agp?

Thanks :)

AIDA32 (http://www.aida32.hu/aida32.php) is a powerful system analyzer. It tells you tons of useful information about your hardware. It's free too.


Go get it. I may consider pinning this - but this place has too many bloody pinned threads :blink:

I agree.

hopefully this will stop alot of the gay topics about "which is better between blank and blank" Also will stop the "Im looking for a good graphics card but dont want to spend alot" questions. I figure you can pinn it for a month or so or untill they run out of 9500Pros...and then get rid of it so its nothing permanent :D

Lets just create a humungous FAQ thread, and Lamsey can have links to different parts of it as icons in his sig.

I would put an overclocking link in my sig so I have to stop answering the repetitive questions like

&#39;OMG I HAVE UH CPU HOW MCUH CAN I OVERRRCLOCKIT?&#39;

Or, perhaps we can all just provide links to the SEARCH FORUM option in this forum.

Those temps appear weird because the board is hotter than the chip....not a typical situation.
DWk
12-24-2003, 04:43 PM

Actually SpeedFan should read your HDD temps.
You can also use HDDTemp

You might be grateful that your drives don&#39;t support temp monitoring one day.

The reason for temp monitoring is not for the benefit of end users. It&#39;s there because there have been a lot of warranty claims which have been caused by overheated drives, but without temp monitoring the manufacturers couldn&#39;t prove it. Now they can, and a lot of warranty claims are being rejected.
