Help Installing New CPU Please

when you fit the soundcard - put it in the bottom slot - if the bottom slot is taken, take that card out , put the soundcard in the bottom slot and put the other card in another slot . This will help with IRQ assignments mate and cause least problems.

sorry didnt know you had one mate and thought you were putting one in to replace the on board.

but my advice stands- when you swop out cards XP assigns IRQs for them. if you dont put the soundcard in the bottom slot , then it can share IRQs with video card or mouse and then you get problems.

your new soundcard will only make a difference if it is the zx type (or if it is newer, those that have their own processor) - ordinery basic soundblasters wont make any difference.

also I would only install the drivers and not the full software suite that comes with these as they are a very messy install and use up resources.

hope this helps

yep, the one i am going to install does have its own processor, it a soundblaster audigy 2.

by the bottom one, do you mean the pci slot closest to the motherboard, or the one furthest away?

i think i am going to start a new thread for this............
