Post by: beet1e on August 09, 2003, 12:08:25 PM: Blimey, Revvin! XP3200??? You got to be kidding! Way more power than you need for AH. I'm still getting good results with my 1.2GHz Athlon and Elsa Gladiac Ultra vidcard (GForce2). I just looked up on the http://www.scan.co.uk website what I'd have to pay for an XP3200 - £364!!!!! I'm going to upgrade after my house move, and expect to get the XP2600 (£87), and Radeon 9800 vidcard.

No wonder you couldn't make it to the Eurocon! Is there a reason you need such a high end CPU?

Post by: keyapaha on August 12, 2003, 04:07:53 PM: I got one of those thermaltake volcano 11+ on my XP2100 they are a bit noisey but not that bad.I too had a problem with cooling(and may still have one) I got a new case with two in fans and 2 out fans and the above cpu fan and my temps dropped to 52-55C but were running 60-64C while playing AH,I would think it would drop more than that.
