KT4V mobo - how do I get the best out of my AMD chip

Hi
I have an MSI KT4V motherboard...
I recently bought an AMD XP3000+ Barton processor....
(which I have checked the serial number etc and as is one that runs at 333Mhz)
THEN I realised the processor is only running at about 1.3Mhz instead of 2.167Mhz... and I was told that I need to replace my RAM with some that runs at 333Mhz
At the moment, my FSB runs as standard at 100, and I can tweak it to abotu 110. BUT if I try to run it at 166 (which it should be at forthis processor) the system crashes ... presumably ecause the RAM I have can't cope (the old RAM is not 333mhz)
ANY HELP.... please... IF I simply buy some PC2700 (333Mhz) memory, will that make it possible to set the FSB at 166, and get my processor running at full speed??
cheers
Phil

Hi - thanks for that...I don't know quite why I had probs with the BIOS before...
I have 266 memory...so have indeed set the FSB in BIOS to 133, and it's fine, showing CPU running at 1700mhz as expected ... and so yes I'm off to buy some 333mz memory, so I can crank FSB up to 166 and get my CPU running at 2.1Ghz
Cheers
Phil

How can I get the best out of my battery life?

There are a variety of things you can do to extend your device battery life, and use your phone for longer periods of time to see you through the day.
Set your screen to timeout after a period of inactivity. This way your phone is not sitting idle with the screen backlight consuming extra energy. The recommended screen timeout is 30 seconds, but most phones will allow from 15 seconds to 10 minutes.
Turn off location services (GPS), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not using these functions. When they're on, your phone constantly searches for your current location and open networks, which has a big impact on battery life.
Turn down the screen brightness. For example, on an iPhone 4 the lowest brightness setting gives roughly 6.5 hours of continuous use, whereas the highest setting gives roughly 3.5 hours. You can always adjust the brightness when you're outside so you can still see your screen clearly. Some devices have an auto-brightness setting, where the phone adjusts the screen brightness depending on the light around it.
Close your applications. On smartphones, returning to the ‘home' screen only minimises your apps – they keep running in the background. Closing your apps fully will save power; for example, on Samsung Galaxy devices hold down the home button for two seconds to see a list of all open apps. You can then swipe these to the left of the screen to exit them completely. On an Apple product, double press the home button to bring up all active applications and exit from there.

Re: How can I get the best out of my battery life?
Hi,
When I make phone calls people on the other end have difficulty hearing me. They describe as they can hardly hear me as if I was speaking through the pillow etc). I am not touching any buttons and obviously it is not mute. This was happening couple of time in June, then every now and then. Recently it happened a few time in 2 weeks. I was trying to check if it was a reception issue but the place I spoke from is my office I make 70% of phone calls from. Can you book time for me in repair shop and address the issue.
Thank you.

Can't upgrade past 10.6.8 - how do I get the best out of my mac?

Hi everyone,
This is my first ever time posting in this community since purchasing my Mac in 2008, it's been that good!
My problem is that I currently live in Peru (from Australia). Macs are ridiculously over-priced here in this country and because I live on savings, upgrading at this time is not going to happen. I'm building a website for my business and because Safari 5 is so out of date, it's not showing the site properly when I make changes (using wordpress). In addition, my computer is very slow and I have regular meetings with the spinning ball of death.
I've tried to clear out as much junk from the computer as I can to speed it up and I am now looking at installing Firefox because of the Safari issues, which is going to just add more bloat to an already sluggish system.
I ran an EtreCheck on my system and I'm hoping one of the good people in the Mac community may be able to tell me if there are any glaring issues/viruses etc that stand out which could be causing me any problems? I've done as much as I can within my limited knowledge of soft and hardware Heregoes...Thank you in advance!

Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.

How do you get the best Range?

How do you get the best range on the Extreme? I am very unfamiliar with the settings and what they mean.

The default settings on the AirPort Extreme are set for maximum radio power so it will produce the best range without further adjustments.
The actual range of the device will depend on the number of obstructions in the signal path between the AirPort Extreme and the other device that is connecting to it.

Hold down the mouse button or trackpad clicker as you start up.
If no joy, restart and hold the Option key. This brings up the Startup Manager, which will draw an Icon for each bootable Volume. When all are drawn, the Eject key is "live".

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

How do i get the dust out of my imac

how do i get the dust out from the inside of my mac, it get hot?

If I hadn't done this regularly (once a year) I think it would be appropriate to vacuum the machine from ALL enrty ports first.I've put compressed air (from my compressor) into all the openings of my several iMacs without consequence. My compressor has a regulator on it and I keep the PSI at about 60. I start with the slot at the top rear of the machine, move to the A/C hole, then the several ports (USB, Headphone, Firewire, etc.) I also blow into the Superdrive slot. Then I Vacuum the memory slot area thoroughly with the memory modules removed. Earlier this spring I actually took the iMac apart and noticed that the fans get a dust buildup inside the impellors themselves. I don't think you could dislodge the buildup without air directed at them in close proximity

How do I get the battery out of my iphone 3g?

HELP, how do I get the battery out of my iphone 3g?

iPhones are not designed to be user servicable.
There is no reason to remove the battery.
If you believe the battery is defective or no longer holding sufficient charge, take it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
Attempts to open the device by anyone other than Apple will void all rights to support from Apple.

What's the best option to get the best out of my h...

Prior to the speed upgrade I was connecting at 38MB/ 8MB and now checking my speed via BBMAX I'm connecting at 62MB/14MB (BT speedchecker advised 56.6MB/18MB) so are pleased with the upgrade.
My main pc tests as above connected to the home hub 3 via a Cat 5 cable. Testing the other PCs/ PS3 in the rest of the house the best I can connect is 33MB via a wireless n usb adaptor. I've tried TP link 200MB power line adaptors connected to the home hub and to the PC using the house power circuits and still only obtain 33MB on the speed test (the T link utility shows I'm connecting at 133MB).
I assume my wireless network is being limited due to other older G type devices (such as mobile phones etc) bringing the wireless N network down to their level?
So to get the best out of my broadband in the rest of the house, should I upgrade to TP link 500MB units, get a dual band router (which will run G and N type devices) or are these two upgrades not worth it and should I take a hit and hard wire and have all the problems of running the cat 5 cables to the rest of the house?
PS as a side note my son has the PS Vita and cant get any speed results faster than 13MB on the wireless network

hmmm - you have lots of options and it really pays to think them all through for what you want to achieve. Don't lose sight of that.
i now use time capsule and with the dual band noted an immediate improvement to the extent that i'm nicely wireless throughout my house. My sons use PS3 wirelessly and get a fast, stable connection all the time (16-18mg). I don't care too much that wirelessly might not be best option. It exceeds my needs .
You'll get alot of views from the guys on this forum - each with their own experiences and trials/errors - lots of good learning!!

I have an iPhone in my name and my wife has an iPad in her name. We have just ordered an iMac and wondered which account we should use to get the best out of all the devices

I have an iPhone in my name and my wife has an iPad in her name. We have just ordered an iMac and wondered which account we should use to get the best out of all the devices? Can we use both accounts in iCloud?

Yes you can. However, it is better to use one person's account most of the time for purchases in the Mac App Store and iTunes since you can share purchases, such as songs, among various devices using the SAME account. You Cannot share purchases among different accounts, though. So make one of your accounts the main "purchasing" account so you can share purchases.
Hope this helps
