Howdy guys! I have a question here.... I currently have the following system:
Asus AV7333 Mobo Athlon XP 2200+ CPU Volcano CPU fan + 6 case fans (yeah it sounds like a freakin plane!)
2x 80gb Maxtor HD Got some dual channel raid config crap..Promise Something (my IT also thinks this might be the culprit) if it is how does one git it outta there!? 1gb ram Quadro 900 XGL Win XP Pro sp1 Typical burner, dvd-rom, floppy, ms mouse and keyboard, IEEE card, audigy sound, modem, network card, etc.I have recently gotten the blue screen for a corrupt registry. My IT guy had to repair install to get me back in and after the purchase of a Seagate 160 GB External HD I was able to push all my important data off the original drives and reformat/reinstall. After a few hrs getting back to the start line I thought all was well. BUT just last night I got a new blue screen and not sure what it means, took a dig pic but forgot what it says, My IT guy says he thinks its a heat issue and I should redo the fan cpu set up some heat transfer junk between the fan and cpu, I don't know. Anyway, it is true you get more bang for the buck in an AMD chip vs an Intel chip, but do you also get more problems? Well I'm ready to go back to Intel, not because AMD sucks, I still think economically speaking it's worth it, but my home computer is AMD and is broke and every work computer I've had has been Intel and has worked fine, maybe not as fast but more stable. Agree? If I decide to push on with the change I am looking at an Intel P4 3.2-3.4, but which mobo should I go with? What about the Xeon? Worth it? Is there any validity in my gripe or should I remain true to AMD and just try and figure out my issues? I GOTS TO HAVA STABLER 'PUTER! TIA
Very frustrated,
