Hello,
I am in the process of ordering new hardware for my two computers.
I am upgrading my Pentium III 450 mhz with 2 GB's of SDRAM (yeah baby!)
=D
Hopefully I don't fok it up ! (I need a wrist wrap just in case maybe it
helps... I'll bet carefull... and I will make some pictures... like a blast
from the past... these systems not sold anymore ! =D)
Anyway I need a new cpu heatsink for socket 939 motherboard which can cool
90 watts (or 90 TDP).
But 90 watts is just a minimum... I'd like to over engineer it a bit just
for the safety limits... It's probably the most important hardware upgrade
of this session because the AMD Stock CPU fan is failing... and it's giving
me nightmares ! =D Ofcourse it could also be motherboard related but ok.
I'm also ordering a new p-r-i-n-t-er... and two extra harddisk for easy
replacing old ones... in case they fail... and printer cable.. and another
old ide harddisk for my old pentium III 450 mhz ?!? oh wait?!? maybe that's
not possible... I think I kicked the pentium 166 once... which lost a hd ?!?
hmm... noooo I think it was the PIII I shouldn't have kicked it lol... it's
saving my ass... i just wanted to see what would happen at the time...
I am gonna check if it can actually host two harddisks just to be sure. I
think it can fit not sure... gonna buy it anyway...
I think it's good idea to upgrade old system... since new systems suck ass
or die too easily because of electric situation in my appartment because of
receiver I guess.
The sdram has 7 ns or so... it will be interesting to see how the PIII 450
performs with more ram... currently it has only 256 mb which is wooehfully
short for xp 32 bit... and many browsers open which require about 800 MB to
function properly... at least that's why page file size ! so hd constantly
swapping which sucks... but sometimes cpu is slow too. I wonder if it's
maybe graphics card related as well... oh well gonna buy this old hardware
anyway because it's cheap and it might not be available anymore in the
future
I'm gonna see if I can find a "wikipedia heatsink list with tdp's" that
would be great... I doubt it though.
See ya later, post any recommendations for heatsinks you have !
