VGA: Inno3d 7900GT

Problem:
CPUID shows my proc running 1.2Ghx [200fsb X 6 multiplier]
Easytune [from gigabyte] shows 1.6Ghz which is normal
System & bios setting also shows 1.6Ghz and multiplier is set to 8

dunno y CPUID showing differently !

First time i come across stuff like this, the only thing I am thinking of doing now is flash bios but I need 2nd opinion from experts here.....

AMD 64 [multiplier unlocked] problem

bumicomp — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 11:15:50 +0800

As topic goes

I have an AMD Athlon 64 multiplier unlocked processor running on my media center machine. Curiosity got the better side of me last nite.

I pulled out the processor, hook it onto my Opteron machine and boot, no problem at all. Went into the bios and do some overclocking tweaks.

Multiplier range is 4 to 15. It booted alright at 4 [effectively giving 4 x 200fsb = 800mhz]. Next I bumped it all the way to 15 [effectively 15 x 200fsb = 3000Mhz mean machine]. Now it refused to boot anymore.......... cannot even get into the bios

Tried a few tricks like clearing the CMOS etc etc just wont boot into bios. When I plug back my opteron, everything is fine.............

I'm affraid I might bave burned my Athlon processor

Any sifu experienced this before and can offer help ?

Many thanks in advance

Quick question about SLI

bumicomp — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 11:43:24 +0800

I have a inno3d 7900GT 256MB bought from dinster a while back. I was in the market for a 2nd card.

Now I know different card manufacturer are compatible for SLI. Howeever, I'm having difficulty in obtaining new 79GTs here in Sabah.

My sister found a 7900GT from Australia (she's working there) but it has 512MB of RAM.

My question is, can both of them run in SLI ? i.e. Card 1 = inno3d 7900gt 256mb & Card 2 = xyz-branded 7900gt 512MB ?

Please feel free to add comments & share your thoughts

Error Loading Operating System

bumicomp — Sat, 02 Sep 2006 01:06:11 +0800

Okay I'll cut the story short.

I wanted to clean install xp pro on a RAW hdd [IDE]. everything goes well .......... even finish the copying setup files & countdown to reboot. After reboot ........ dang ...... 'Error Loading Operating System'

Rebooted it, went into bios and set to load from hdd [IDE]. still not ok !!!

Googled about it, other forums recomended that change the hdd setting in BIOS from [Auto] to [Large] or [LBA]. I tried both of them with clean install.......... still not ok !!!

Feel kinda fed-up i took out my other slave hdd [SATA] from another PC. backed up the files and clean install xp pro on this hdd [SATA]............... wow suprise suprise !! everthing is ok !!!

Technical Gurus of LYN, anybody can assist ?

Thanks in advance

Edit: my hard disk is not MAXTOR !
