Nitrous used solely to cool the intake charge in an intercooled application is quite common, and quite safe. It is alot like packing it with ice, it doesn't mix with the intake charge, it just cools it.

Nitrous is very safe to use, provided you follow the same basic rules you do with any power ...

I got it fixed, I followed a guide on toms hardware or something. The only thing that eventually worked, was reinstalling XP pro on the desktop.

Anybody know how I change the multipliers on this motherboard, They say that the 800MHz Duron is O'Cable to 1000MHz with air cooling.

Also, my ram is PC-100, so If I O'C the FSB to 133MHz, will the ram still read?

Hi, Not sure if this has been answered before, but how do you enable the console in the retail version?

Counter-strike.net tells you how to do it when you have half life as well installed, but not when you just have counter-strike.
