Shameful CPU Pricing by
aether
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80829&ps=ho3
Is this suppose to make sense to customers? Nearly a grand for a single
processor? Is this some sort of joke?

LRW
I'm looking at two laptops at:

(note: sometimes it takes a LONG time for the page to load.)
The two Intel laptops I'm looking at, one is a P4 and the other a
Mobile Centrino.
What's the difference? I ask because laptop A,...

IRQ conflict by
Yousuf Khan[_2_]
Looks like I'm having a good old fashioned IRQ conflict. Even though
IRQ's are theoretically shareable these days, in practice it may not be
such a hot idea. The problem first occurred after I replaced my
motherboard and processor on one of my systems, a couple of weeks back.
I was getting a...

ex-Apple CEO says they should've gone x86 in the 80's by
Yousuf Khan
Apple's ex-CEO John Sculley said that they were evaluating
Intel-architecture in the late 80's, and decided that it couldn't keep
against RISC processors, so they went the RISC route. They didn't count on
the evolutionary process eventually putting x86 on a par with...

4-way Opteron vs. Xeon-IBM X3 architecture by
Yousuf Khan
There was a lot of hay made about how a 4-way Xeon system with the IBM
X3 chipset beat out a similarly configured 4-way Opteron system from HP
(albeit with much greater cost, $1.83M vs. $0.48M). IBM ran the TPC-C
tests with 64-bit Windows and 64-bit DB2; HP did it with 64-bit Windows
and 64-bit...

Pentium Pro 200 - 256k cache vs 512k & 1MB cache by
Chas.
I recently picked up a circa 1996 all SCSI Micron Millennia Pro Plus
in like new condition for $40. It was supposed to be a dual PPro 200
but when I got it home and opened it I was disappointed to find it
only had a single PPro 200 256k processor installed, 32MB of memory
and a Bus Logic SCSI card....

Non-intel benchmarks on Conroe vs AMD's AM2 FX62 by
The little lost angel
http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=5692&page=3
Well, it doesn't look like smoke and mirrors anymore does it? :P
The bit I'm curious about is, is there any mistake in the Sciencemark
2.0 latency results? Without an onboard memory controller, the Conroe
E6600 is faster than the FX-62....

Microsoft lays down the rules about 64-bit by
Yousuf Khan
AMD introduced the Athlon 64 today, and Microsoft was on hand to intro its
64-bit Windows too. Microsoft said that it will support both Intel and AMD
64-bit, but no more than that. I think what they are referring to when they
talk about Intel 64-bit is Itanium, but no other 64-bit that Intel...
