Hi, I am looking for documentation on 64bit Itanium Optimization Techniques. Are there any cheat sheets available? presentation slides? examples? Thanks in advance!

I'd always been under the impression that underclocking memory is perfectly safe. But at work right now, we have some extra Registered PC3200 1gb DIMMS, and a couple of new Lindenhurst-based servers that top out at PC2700. I tried to upgrade the memory in one of them, and it refused to boot...

Can anyone tell me is there a difference between m-atx and micro atx? Can anyone recomend a desktop motherboard to upgrade my IBM Aptiva (micro-atx)? I want to install my existing IBM 3.3V 256MB NP PC133 SDRAM DIMM and IBM 3.3V 64MB NP PC133 SDRAM DIMM in two slots, and it should have an agp slot...

Help! I have an IBM Apiva desktop pc fitted with an 80210e board with a celeron 533mhx processor. My daughter bought Sims2, and it wouldn't run, says graphics are not dirextx 9.0c. Help files also say minimum 800 mhz processor. So I have to upgrade the pc, but can't justify spending much money on...

Hi all, Soon to be getting a new laptop, and I have two options on the Processor: The first is a Pentium 4 with HT Tech. @ 3.2GHz, 1MB L2 Cache, 533MHz FSB The second is a Pentium M @ 1.6GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 400MHz FSB The rest of the two systems are almost identical:

Is intel's microprocessor architecture open one? If not How come cyrix and via and amd make their processor *compatible* with the intel microprocessor and moreover market them with an adjective "compatible with intel"? don't intel take objection to that? greetings, Bob

I've noticed some video cards have a DVI connector. Could somone explain what it's used for?

Article from Computing Canada from the dawn of the collaboration between HP and Intel on what would eventually become the Itanium. Again interesting for historical perspective about what their original plans were vs. what actually happened. Original plans were to finish the architecture within...

Interesting old articles from the dawn of the Itanium age. I found it interesting reviewing it now that we're probably nearing its twilight. These two came from the time of the first Merced release in...

Intel's compiler suite now has support available for x64 systems. It also looks like Intel is playing nice for right now, and not doing anything to prevent their code from working on AMD systems. Versions available for Linux and Windows, even though Windows for x64 isn't due out till...

Hello, Regarding counted loops (such as br.cloop and br.ctop) Volume 1 (page 1:68) states: 4.5.2 Branch Prediction Hints Information about branch behavior can be provided to the processor to improve branch prediction. This information can be encoded in two ways: with branch hints as part...

What is the best time to change from an ATX to a BTX motherboard PC? Will the price for BTX-systems drop in the near future, or is it better to wait another 2 years or so? Ideas anyone?

Trying out an eval IBM x336 Intel 1U server for a possible Linux platform. The system has a DB9 serial port on the back. How can this port be used for a serial console? What are the BAUD, number of bits,stop,and parity settings for use as a console? Thanks,

The new HP Proliant DL145 server with a single Opteron 2.2 ghz is faster than the HP Proliant DL140 with dual Xeon 3.2 ghz . The dual processor DL145 Opteron server is 57% faster than the dual Xeon DL140. http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/servers/benchmarks/dl145-webbench.pdf

Is Northwood P4 the same as P4? Are they fully compatiable? Do you think DigiMatrix support Northwood P4? The following table is published on Asus web site at http://taiwan.asus.com.tw/support/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx. Thank you Jim
