Hi! I'm the owner of a notebook Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo A1667EX with a AMD Turion 64 Mobile Technology ML-37 processor. After several tries and a BIOS upgrade, I've installed Windows 7 on that machine, it works pretty well, but I have a problem with the processor. According to Windows Upgrade...

Intel has announced that they will stop making replaceable CPU's after Haswell. From now on, all CPU's are supposed to be in BGA packaging, which means you can only attach CPU's to the motherboard by soldiering them on. You won't be seeing these in any home DIY's toolkit, so it's the end of the...

Hello All! Having set up above system I am noticing that loads get very high according to top/htop but the load is NOT spread between all the cores (it is an 8 core) with 16Gb (1600) Corsait Vengeance Pro Ram. Is there a setting or two that is not correct in the UEFI bios or in the Mageia v3 set...

Is there a setting in windows Xp x64 that chooses to turn off the optical drives at any time?? I can boot my PC and have the use of the optical drives (CD, and DVD) but if I go away from the PC and return later, (usually after the PC has shut down the monitor (timed out)) the opticals might still...

I'm curious about why there's the AMD FX-8320 Vishera with an Eight-Core running 3.5 GHZ ($180), while there's also the AMD FX-4300 Vishera with a Quad-Core running 3.8 GHz. Why is the Quad-Core rated at a higher clock speed than the more expensive Eight-Core, not to mention the Six-Core FX-6300,...

Hello: About 6 years ago, I went shopping around for a computer, and (as I've done before) I found the computer I wanted. Then went home, got online to tigerdirect.com and picked out all the same parts that were on the computer in the store that I liked, and it wound up costing me 1/2 of what...

Sadly I have to reinstall XP X64, too many things are getting worse with the present install, win exploder does just that too many times, .net pooped out and can't be installed, now JAVA can't update or uninstall, Oh the Bother!

Okay, okay, a while back I posted here about how I was having problems with my 2nd HIS video card. Well, now there's some redemption. I initiated an RMA, and I have to admit it was straightforward, and they were very courteous. After five weeks, they shipped me a 6970 in a brand new box. Sold...

My old sammysung DVD drive finally bit the dust. A little looking and it seemed that I was looking for an ASUS dvd drive. Specs seemed nice the drive was stated as quiet, so I gets one from the local store. The disk has Nero 10 on it, cool I thinks! WRONG seems Nero 10 is not windows XP x64...

Hey everyone. Just thought I'd share my recent personal experience and, heck, vent a little bit. Used to be mostly an Nvidia guy. Switched over to AMD/ATI in early 2010 with the purchase of a Radeon 5870 by HIS. Was pretty happy with it, although I made the mistake of pairing an AMD card with a...

Hello, I'm not sure that I'm posting to the right group - sorry if I'm wrong. We need to choose hardware platform for our network processing appliance (common 1-2U server, not an embedded device). Currently we're going to use only base hardware, without specific hardware like NPU or FPGA. I have...

I just picked up a Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition. Now that this processor family has become the previous generation processors, I was able to pick this one up fairly cheaply. What used to be a $300+ chip, I got now for less than $200! It drops in and replaces my previous Phenom II X3 710...
