Upgrading
 

Irecently upgraded my computer from a very good company, and no I have nothing to do with then. MCSCOM.co.uk Good prices and very helpful.

with a FSB clock of 133mhz and a CPU of 2.8Ghz it uses a muliplyer to get from 133 to 2.8 in this case 21X133 = 2.8 which is the processor speed. The processor system bus of 533mhz is (I think) how fast the processor can calculate things internally, so a 533 processor bus will be quicker (in theory) than a 400mhz processor bus.

Hi chaps,
just to keep you up to date. I have put the pc together and I am in the middle of formatting the harddrive! ( am I counting my chickens before they hatch?) I had a problem with the front power supply because the one on the case I was using was a non standard type. Anyway 5 mins at the local pc shop and £10 later for a new case and yippee do!

I don't think I am out of the woods yet, but fingers crossed.

So it looks like the ferarri gearbox has turned out to be a real mover:D
I will let you all know how the loading of the software goes.Thats if it loads ok.

Thanks for all the help guys from a complete and utter novice!

Hi guys,

I have managed to install windows xp. The pc does not seem to recognise that there are any cd/dvd installed. I guess this is because there are no drivers installed for these things.

I have also plugeed in an ethernet cable from my router (belkin wirless/cable). and it will not pick up the internet connection, so , I cannot get on line to update the drivers.

Has anyone got any idea's how I can get the pc to recognise the cd/dvd.

Thanks again

MS knowledge base for missing cd/dvd after XP install here

Internet - Is it the right cable? can you try it on another pc to make sure it works on that?

Slow option but can you connect with a modem to download the updates?
