Yeah? They are kind of nice, being small an having a pretty good MOBO, but the powersupply suck. That and the difficulty in putting one together. The place where I bought it is considering not carring them. I was thinking of getting one for myself even though I just got an old laptop and have the system below. The nice thing about shuttle is that they offer a good Intel chipset model that looks really kool, and probably would outlast the AMD models....sad though the thought is. ;)

hey, I just got online for the first time with my new laptop! Ok it's not brand new, it is the laptop my wife's friend gave me for helping her build that shuttle. It is an old Compaq Presario 1200XL series laptop. It has a highspeed K6-2 processor! and 32mb of RAM, with 6gig HD. Real nice specs. (I'm only joking). It may not be much but at least I can type this with it. It isn't too bad, seems to run pretty good. The battery had gone bad, the friend had been using it as a desktop and didn't know the battery went bad, just thought the whole thing had gone south, So she gave it to me to help her. I already ordered a memory upgrade and if things go well then I may get a new battery although I'm not certain why I should, the power cord works fine. I hope XP will go on it, Compaq has detailed instructions for installation. Any thoughts?

how's that 333FSB?? uses more power huh? bigger cost on electricity? But maybe it's worth it, for what is offers...?

Okay let's hear it people, is the 333FSB really better than than the 266FSB? comparing say 2.2gig on a 266FSB and a 333FSB? what is some noticible difference?

i could easily see the 400FSB, being better...But damn the electric cost. I hope you dont live on the WEST COAST, especially California....Blackouts will be hourly news.

[Samoa]

I guess room temp. can greatly affect PC temps. It was hot today, and now it's cool. the temp is about normal it was higher before, then ofcourse I was gaming too.

Think of it being 2.6 lanes on a highway compared to 3.3... which will have more traffic???

Im taking it that you are talking about the AMD 333 and the P4 400 fsb's.... about the cost, P4 uses less power than AMD...

No actually I meant the difference from a 266FSB to a 333FSB, which you kind of answered for me somewhat. But AMD is coming out with a 400FSB soon, so I was referring to that and not Intel.

Anyway, do you have a 333FSB? can you tell a big difference? I am looking at slowing down for a while to 200FSB to save money on electricity. Cause I am supposing higher FSB equal more electric consumption??? :blink:

Thanks for responding, :D

[mutantcol]

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
