Right well im pretty new to all thie tech issues here. But fortunatly im not that dumb!? Im about to upgrade my computer. The components are:
Asus A7v600 Motherboard
256Mb 2100 Ram
80gb 7200 and 30gb 7200
Ati 7200 64mb graphics
1.3Ghz Duron (apparently the guy who overclocked said he got it to 1.8+ and it was stable, have my doubts)
Volcano 9 heatsink and fan (copper base)
CdRW 12/10/32
DVd
Zip
floppy
SB1024
harman/kardon speakers
keyboard and mouse
The most pressing question i have is how to avoid static destruction, what to beware of when upgrading (i.e. Jumpers and remembering wjhere it all goes), also do i need thermal paste? - i was hoping just to put the heatsink/fan straight onto the CPU, is this right? Obviously will fully back up all info first as am worried about the CPU. Any thoughts on how far i can push it.
I have info on motherboard settings and how to change multiplyers but was hoping for a little insider knoledge on this.
Cheers.
