Does anyone have any experience with the subject motherboard, or the Nvidia integrated video in general? I haven't looked at the low end of the business for *years*, so am looking for some help. History: A friend's computer (Celeron 600) fried its brains recently and she needs a new system, but...

Regarding whether Intel is going to be using the AMD64 language or not, and answer is not, it's using the IA-32e language. Other than the name it's exactly the same as AMD64, right down to the number of registers, and lack of support for Virtual-8086 mode, etc. Here is AMD's AMD64...

Is it possible to replace the motherboard in a Dell Optiplex system, specifically the GX150 minitower form (manufactured in 2001), with a "standard size" non-Dell motherboard? Has anyone done this? I looked inside the case and noticed two potential hardware problems (of course there may be more...

I sent Gary Headlee my video card, which he also claims to repair-- via MOTHERBOARD REPAIR SERVICE a MONTH ago. His web site states turn around time of 1-2 days. I finally had to call the POLICE to track the guy down, after sending

I've been limping along on two Socket-A machines for a couple years, watching the technology unfold and eager to finally get a nice new computer or two. Now that July 2006 has come and gone, there are plenty of new processors to choose from. Surely, this is the day I get my new computer... I...

Can anyone tell me if the following instructions are supported on the AMD K5 and the original Cyrix 686 processors? cmpxchg8b rdmsr rdtsc rsm wrmsr Mark.

Hello, I've been asked to build a system capable of reading and writing "raw" high-definition video, namely HD-SDI. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Digital_Interface AFAIK no single HDD can handle 1.485 Gbit/s (186 MB/s). I suppose one way around this problem is RAID 0 (striping).

Terry Shannon recently did an interview about the future directions of OpenVMS. HP strongly denies they will ever port their OpenVMS operating system over to x86 extensions (AMD64, EM64T) from Itanium. Of course, just a few months ago, they were strongly denying that they would ever use...

Issue affects Windows 7, Windows XP, and Ubuntu Linux. As of yesterday, my onboard Realtek Gigabit Ethernet NIC stopped working fully. It's a "Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller", model RTL8167. It was the NIC built into the motherboard of my PC, which is an ASUS M4A785-M. Initially, it wasn't...

Tom's Hardware is hilarious. They've refined the art of *BS'ing* to a fine state. It's their pseudo-technical explanations that always try to be mindful of large advertisers are their biggest classics: techno-spin as an artform. Tom's is doing some kind of longevity endurance runoff test between...

Rumours are that Intel is adding additional pipeline stages to the Prescott, even higher than its existing 20 stages. I can't see it happening in this late stage of the game, perhaps half a year from now. It will possibly be getting rid of the internal double clocked ALUs too, and replacing it...

As a hobbyist project I would like to design and build a simple video card. I would appreciate any recommendations of books (or other references) that address this topic. Ideally, I would like something which is thorough about all the things that need to be addressed, without bogging down in too...

The new computer, to be built by Sun Microsystems Inc. using 13,000 microprocessors made by Advanced Micro Devices Inc., will be more powerful than any supercomputer currently in operation, UT says. It will have a peak computing power of more than 400 trillion operations per second, which makes it...
