I found this whitepaper from HP to be pretty good, it is surprisingly candid, considering HP was the coinventor of the Itanium. It does a pretty good job of explaining and summarizing the similarities and differences between AMD64 and EM64T, and their comparison to the Itanium's IA64 instruction...

I've got three 4-port hubs on my system. From time to time after a reboot, some of them don't enumerate properly, and you have to unplug and replug them. Is there some way in software to get Windows to rescan them? Of course that won't do any good if the USB hub that your mouse and keyboard are...

After 2 Gateways (with poor peformance records), I decided to go for a Dell. I'm not a techie so an above average 'puter for the masses is what I wanted. Some questions still need answers, though. For example: 1) Gateway (not Dell) offers BTX Technology. Is this something most companies will pick...

I'd like to replace my Abit BH6 with one of the now, relatively inexpensive, Socket 478, 400 or 533MHZ FSB, P4 motherboards people are currently selling new on Ebay for under $50. But I'd like to continue using the two, 80 GIG, ATA, Maxtor HD's I'm currently running (WIN 98) in a RAID 0 array on a...

I read the following article http://tinyurl.com/8s2aa on amdzone.com. Extremetech looks at gameplay experience comparing AMD and Intel CPUs. I'm surprised they used DDR2 533, but then of course if they were on the real ball they would be using faster than DDR400 using the Lanparty

Yeah, the sorry USA space junk known as Spirit broke down - attributed to the flash memory. NASA should have sprung those extra bucks and gotten Kingston memory instead of that sorry ass IBM proprietary ****. The Russians can have (another) laugh at our expense. Poppa Capp

I have a pc AMD 2000+ (home built) that will not power on. It powers on but no post, no beep codes just cpu fan, power supply fan and hard disk comes on. I believe it;s the CPU because when the problem happeed there was alot of dust across the top of the heat-sink completely covering the top...

I'm not sure how this relates to their main business model. Maybe it's a new business model? Intel has created a new Firefox add-in that let's you see disputed claims on websites and go to websites with their counterclaims. Here's where to find the add-in:...

There was some speculation about AMD working on a mechanism that would allow a multiprocessor/multicore system to gang-up the cores and use it to execute single-threads much faster, also nicknamed as inverse Hyperthreading. I think you could even call it "micro multithreading", since it's finding...
