VR-Zone is showing a 775-pin Prescott processor: http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=308&s=1 Not sure what all of the pins are for. Yousuf Khan

Does anyone know the current status of the Pentium V/Prescott? I've been waiting patiently for a computer to break the upper 2-3GHz barrier, but have heard Intel's been having trouble with heat management so the release of the Prescott and the Tejas (if that's the right name) processor models...

A friend of mine has a D850MV motherboard and is trying to make it Wake on Lan, so far unsuccessful. We have experimented with other machines with great success so we know the general function of WOL. He is using the built in NIC and from the documentation we have read we can't really tell if...

Hi, Id like to build an old Itanium 1 system. Ive seen cheap Itanium 1 CPUs floating around, usually from (then) CPQ or HP servers, supplied with what appears to be VRM and heatsinks (no fans). The problem is, of course, sourcing motherboards to put these into. Im looking into perhaps salvaging...

The new Athlon 64-3000+ processor with 512K of L2 cache rather than 1024K seems to be a pretty good gaming platform, beats the regular P4-3.2Ghz in 8 out of 9 tests. Yousuf Khan http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=13187

Hi, If I use a Pentium 3 or above. Is it possible to page whole my physical memory in 4MB pages with the PSE bit set? Thanks a lot! Ivan

It looks like both Intel and AMD are having a tough time at keeping heat down on the 90nm process. There's already been reports out that Intel may have to lower the clock frequency of the Prescott at introduction. Now, even AMD's famous SOI process doesn't seem to be having the desired effect it...

I have a new VA Linux server that takes two 100fsb slot1 CPUs. I got the SL37C CPU based on .25 micron, but has 512kb cache. The maximum wattage is rated at 25W, which I'm not sure if I can run without the fan. The fan that comes with the cpu sticks out a bit and I cant close the 1u servers lid....

What is it?? I'm comparing laptops, one with a p4 1.6 ghz chip, and a 400mhz system bus speed, and the other one has a p4 2.0 ghz chip and a 133mhz system bus speed. Which of the two is better? And what does the bus speed do??? Lia

A German website seems to be reporting that some of the kernel work in Linux 2.4.x for AMD64 is being handled by an Intel programmer, Len Brown. Also speculation that an AMD64 chip will be coming out from Intel by 2005. Original...

http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1103-275625.html (2001) My biggest fear is that Intel will come out with a 32-bit processor with 64-bit extensions because it is the right thing to do," Sanders said. "The Itanium it turns out is a niche product...We are going to have a role in the industry because we...

The fan on my CPU is whining. My processor is an Intel Pentium II 633. When opening up my PC, I noticed the fan is a Sanyo-Denki 10x6512H1106 Does anyone know where I can find replacement CPU fans for older processors?

I have a new dell notebook. I had planned to keep my homemade desktop as my main PC, so I only bought a mediocre laptop, 2.0celly, 384mb, 30gig, 15", etc (inspiron 1100). I figured the celly would be fine, but now my plans have changed, and I am moving to Hawaii where I wont ship my desktop,...

Hi, I'll be upgrading to dual Xeons 3.0Ghz ( from single P4 2.4) in a few weeks (running XP Pro). I wonder if it's possible to just switch the motherboards and CPUs and if the OS will automatically install the MP kernel, or will I have to reinstall everything? I've got tons of software installed...

I have my case (Kingwin) front usb port connected to the onboard usb connectors. I cannot connect 2 usb2.0 devices at the same time. The second one will not be recognized by XP also it doesn't appear to get power (eg, no led lit on card reader). If I connect a 1.0 usb and 2.0 usb device, ...

Not sure what type of memory I need, It would be easy if I had a 100 or 133 HHz bus, but I have a 67 MHz, the only SDRAM I see offered comes in 100 and 133. I looked a the chip, but that has no identification/specs written on it. I put XP on this computer and about all it can do id boot up,...

Is there any language support for the non-temporal cache hints, e.g. ldfd.nta. Some sort of pragma or Fortran directive?? I've been working with small pieces of assembler, but to be honest, I'm too old and too lazy to (re)learn assembler. thanks Adrian

I have an abit vt6x4 with via apollo pro 133 chipset. I have the latest bios that was available for that board. It is a slot 1. The processor is a PIII 1.0 ghz slot 1 (no adapters). video card - diamond viper 770 ultra 32 meg ram - sdram - 512 meg - 133 The bios says will support PIII to 1 ghz.

I am willing to pay top dollar for new Intel D815EEA2LU motherboards, the silk-screened "U" UNIVERSAL version with 6 USB ports most commonly known for supporting Celeron processors. I am also willing to pay well for boards that are in excellent condition. Please contact ...
