i made this little thing, type in how many watts you think your pc is using. (you could work it out) and if you live around manchester in the UK, prices should be right for electricity. excel formula does the sums

Uh, thanks for the attempt, really, it just looks a little complex....I'm not a math genious, have an english degree presently....

icedevil How did you get yours to run on a 333FSB? And does it really help any? I mean cause 266 seems good.....

So by setting the bios to 333, then adjusting other voltages, you effectively overclock your 1700 to 1.9, and get a 333FSB????

Can anyone confirm this????? :huh:

i have a gateway, they are the best! if you ever have a problem you can call them up and you listen to music for like 10-20 seconds. my grandma got a sony vaio (she shouldve asked me before she got it) an she said when she called tech support one time she was on hold for an hour (maybe a litttle less, but still)

Maybe her sense of time is a little off?? not to offend you or her....But I would never ever buy a Gateway, or even recommend it. You should build your own....it's way better and can easily be cheaper too. :D

I recently got a Compaq Presario 1200XL Laptop. It has a floppy drive, 14inch LCD screen, 6gig HD, a crappy video card, 156mb of RAM, 475 K6-2 and not much more else. The battery is dead too. 98se is the OS. :D

Actually, it runs pretty nice, I got it for helping a friend putting together a new PC. And I also got a 512mb of PC2700 RAM.

Yeah, I enjoy building them myself. Even setting up the software is fun. I like to surprise the people I build them for with features they didn't quite expect....brings back the joy of when I first put my system together....ah...the memories.... :happy:
