ASUS A7M266
socket A
AMD 761 chipset
DDR ram

I'd like to use this board to build a system with but can't find out it's cpu limit. I know it's AMD but not sure if it can take XP, or Barton or others. I've tried emailing both vendors who give more questions than answers. I know this board is OLD, so I'm not looking to buy a newer one. I just think that with a more powerful processor and ram, it still has some life left. What do you think? I would love it if someone (other than an outsourced tech) could provide an answer this simple problem first before telling me to ditch it or use it for something other than what it was intended for. May be able to provide more detail.

there is no sound, could he be doing something wrong, or maybe forgetting to do something? He did everything (he thought) that he was supposed to do!
I know there's a good chance it could be defective, but he's eliminating all other possibilities first, PLEASE HELP!!!

I installed a new 200 GB drive. My old drive (C drive) on which the OS is installed is low on disk space and I've tried everything I can to remove unnecessary files and programs (including changing where Documents and Settings are stored). I'd like to avoid reinstalling XP. Is it possible to copy the C drive onto a partition on the new drive and then have the machine boot from this instead?

Well yeah the computer is acting somewhat weird, (Not that it is abnormal anyway XD) you see Windows Explorer seems to 'Doze off' and then becomes non responsive. Becasue of this everything else seems to work fine but WE. I kepted getting into the Task Manager and then 'End Process' the explorer.exe. Weird thing was I think it was mshta.exe, yeah I was closing some programs off and I chose that one to close out and then the dumb computer starts to come around and be responsive. The same thing happened with my Xfire. I think I have around 320 RAM and the processor runs at 797Mhz, is there something wrong? Besides I am upgrading everything in a littel while though, just I don't want the same problem to happen with the new stuff ( I am putting in a new motherbord, processor, power supply ect [Dual core 64bit AMD processor, 1GBmemory and so on]). also, if anyone knows, How does over clocking work and how can I do it my self?

Out of no where windows vista wants to install my video card which I have been using with windows vista for a few months. I checked the "don't show this message again button" and didn't install the video card becuase logically one can conclude that there is no reason to install something that is already in the computer and working fine. Now, my graphics are different and I regret hitting the "don't show this message again button". How do I install the video card?

I already went to the Install hardware thing and I couldn't find my graphics card which is a Nvidia Geforce 6500.

I tried to hook up my speakers on my computer by putting them in the lime green port on my XP computer but that didn't work. so i thought maybe the speakers were broken, so I hooked them up{ the same way I previously had} on my ME computer. They worked fine, so it's not the speakers it's the computer, right? Everytime I try to adjust the volume controls on my PC, I get a mesage telling me to go to the control panel,click printers, and then install the hardware. I tried that but nothing worked. I think it's my sound card. Could the problem have started because the computer was recently restored? Also, there is no way I can access my volume controls. The icon on my XP is gone and I'm not sure how to get it back? Please help! Thank you!

I have an old 80GB external USB Western Digital hard drive. I can peek in through the vent to read "Enhanced IDE Hard Drive."

I just acquired a used 250GB Maxtor ATA/133 hard drive.

I don't know a whole lot about the compatibility. Will the new drive effortlessly replace the old in the same enclosure? In other words, will the existing cabling system in the enclosure match the "new" 250GB drive connector?
