104880 2002-12-10 20:06:00 Hello People :)

I'll just like to ask can a socket 462 support AMD Duron's like socket A does. Cause I'm thinking about upgrading my MS-6378 to a K7MV2 ( www.asrock.com.tw ). By the way is there a huge difference between those 2 sockets? and when I'm installing the CPU would it be different. I'm new at this so... ?:| , but I'm not new at installing hardwares just the CPU :D .

Thank you people :)

104882 2002-12-10 22:27:00 Yeah, You're right.. Just different names, Socket A is easier to remember as AMD's, rather than remembering Socket 462. Both are the same! It is supported! Chilling_Silence (9)
104883 2002-12-10 23:21:00 So they are the same. :p


Thank you very much

One more question please :D

Um, installing the motherboard and connecting the the cables seems quite easy but the setup in bios...is it hard?

Not really, you can use default settings and the hard drives auto detect. Most of us learned by trial and error. I've never damaged a motherboard through the bios.

Remember RTFL first

104887 2002-12-11 20:09:00 RTFM means Read The F* Manual... Put whatever in after the *, from profanity to anything else you can think of, but provided you read the manual, you should have no probs. I just got a new mboard and read the manual, although it wasnt as clear ass I would have liked it, read it, as it really helps!

Cheers

104888 2002-12-11 20:29:00 Read The Flaming Manual . Contrary to the title this is not a flame war hot-to guide but useful advice. Remeber, of course, that real men rean manuals about as often as we read maps. Therefore it is always a good idea to either read it in bed with the light out or inside a magazine so that it can't be seen ;) crozier (2004)
104889 2002-12-11 20:32:00 Sorry about RTFL I meant RTFM.... it was late and I'd been out for dinner ;) crozier (2004)
