The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

I need your help....

Asked by papantos in New Computer Users

Tags: locks, p4, system

I am using a P4 1.8 with Intel 845 chipset and the GA-8ID533 motherboard...The thing is that this motherboard only supports SDR-SDRAM and does not have any thermal sensors...(i think)
I am using this specific system with Windows XP and for business applications only (CAD,Office,etc).
The BIOS offers options about changing the FSB and so I did increase it from 400 (4x100) to 444 (4x111) while locking PCI/AGP to 33/67 (33/66 was not an option). That way the memory (Corsair SDR-SDRAM) frequency jumped to 149 MHz (from 133).After that i placed a 80cm system fan at the front of the case.
The system seems to be working fine, however I am not sure about the temperatures it reaches since it doesn't have any thermal sensors...
Do you think I should worry or not?Should I change everything to how it was?
Do you suggest that I should buy another motherboard that supports DDR memory?And if so will I need to re-install Windows?
Is there a way to get any temperature readings with that motherboard?
Thank you very much in advance people...
