I am working on upgrading a customer's computer, an old 433 mHz Celeron (Socket 370). I already have an old Celeron 700 lying around, and would like to use this processor as part of the upgrade. My question is this: does the Celeron 700 output much more heat than the 433? The stock heatsink on...

Ok I have a Microsoft wireless Laser mouse 6000. Recently it has not been cooperating. The cursor is not consistent with mouse movement. I even replaced the batteries too. Is it that the mouse is going bad?

Does the P4 533mhz with 1 MB and sSpec number SL5PK have hyperthreading? Intel's web page and retail package don't mention it, so I assume not. How could I find out for sure?

I have a Celeron 2.8 400 mhz Northwood with 3 missing pins. (Sold to me by a fraud on ebay who vanished in the mist - why do these characters even bother shipping you anything?) I looked up the pins and their function on Intel's website. They a Pin Function W1 A29# Y5 VSS AD5 BSEL1

I have a large inflow of processors that I'm acquiring from liquidators. A significant percentage of these are defective, and I'm reselling them to people who expect all working processors, so they must be tested. I need some advice on how to go about this: 1. How do I provide heat...

I've just bought a new laptop with an Athlon 4 XP-M 2400+ CPU. When idling, the CPU runs at 1.06 GHz; when working flat out, it runs at 1.79 GHz (according to Windows XP). Surely this would make it an XP-M 2200+ CPU? If the advert said it's a 2.0GHz CPU, should I send the damn thing back? Also,...

How can I compare different motherboards and chipsets? What benchmarks are there?

Helloo, my system has 1.7GHZ intel processor and problem is that it gets hot 50C and above some time . how can i cool it down the fan speed is 3600rpm.

Hi, I've built dozens of systems over the years, so have some experience at this. Recently installed an XP 2400+ with AMD stock HSU/fan into a Shuttle AK32 MB that previously held an Athlon 1100. Stock HSU attached as per instructions, as usual. Definitely installed in correct orientation. Did not...

Have an Abit An7. It gets to the First Abit Screen, but keyboard and mouse are unresponsive. Have error code of A.0. or 0.A. Anybody help?

March 29th, 2005 Tested: 64-Bit P4 PC World Contributor Jon L. Jacobi Intel's 64-bit Pentium 4 and Pentium 4 Extreme Edition desktop processors launched in February, giving the 64-bit computing future that started with Advanced Micro Devices' Athlon 64 chips even more traction.

Does anybody know a good source for Pentium 233mhz MMX CPUs (not Pentium II) in Canada? I have an old dual processor motherboard that can handle these chips, and would make a pretty servicable machine with two of these CPUs in it, but I need to find to identical chips. -- Aaron...

Hey people, I have a huge problem. My PC keeps powering off and restarting on it's own. I might be able to logon to windows and a few seconds or minutes later it just powers off and turns itself on. I've tried almost everything. I have even reassemble the system from scratch of the motherboard...

Hi I have an old dell 4100 running at 867mhz. I just installed a dvd drive. When I tried to boot it bck up, it would not go past the dell logo, and no hard drive activity (sound). I have also tried unplugging the dvd drive. I didnt ground myself, so possibly I fried the motherboard (though never...

Hey guys... I'm looking for a deep technical answer on this question from someone who knows something about chip design or at least chip quality control, technical specs, etc. I'm curious about whether undervolting can actually damage a chip. I know it could make it unstable, but could it...

Hi, Im looking to purchase an AMD FX-32 CPU and motherboard and heatsink. Im a bit scared to install the heatsink myself. Ive been looking at tigerdirect for mb+cpu combos but it seems Ill still need to put that heatsink on myself and Im afraid of ruining a pretty expensive cpu.

Hi Duane Rettig, So why, if Intel made SSE/SSE2 standard in P3, don't we put out a lisp that uses such a hands-down better architecture? Simple. Many of our customers don't buy Intels; they buy AMDs. And AMD didn't start supporting SSE/SSE2 until they came out with their x86-64...
