Howdy, This is my first post here, and I have a question. My new computer will be arriving next week equipped with an Asus A8N Sli Deluxe Motherboard. I am just getting back in the game, and am unsure if that Motherboard has automatic fan control based on temperatures. If it does, Yahooo!; If...

I'm going to be building a new PC from scratch this weekend or so. I am planning on buying an AMD Opteron 165 with an Asus A8N-SLI motherboard. I have never overclocked a cpu, memory, or gpu. I would like advice on anything and everything anyone would happen to know about. Is the A8N-SLI a good...

So I bought 2 GB of DDR Ram from a website.....For just under $195 with lifetime warranty.So I gave the ram to my brother as a present.It turns out that he didn't try to install the ram until over a month has passed.So the ram didn't work, I did some digging around a found out that I bought the...

Unconfirmed: Dell buys Alienware - Alpha Blog - alpha.cnet.com http://reviews.cnet.com/4531-10921_7-6464030.html Might be a way for Dell to start selling AMD machines. Gateway did a similar thing to sell AMD machines by buying Emachines. Yousuf Khan

From the Wikipedia site: Z-RAM is even faster than SRAM? Is there that much capacitance in the lines between the transistors? "The small cell size leads, in a roundabout way, to Z-RAM being faster than even SRAM, normally much faster than DRAM. SRAM's large cell size means that any "reasonable"...

Hey people, I just wanted to let anyone know that I have a Twinhead Slimnote VXe (model P88TE) that I have upgraded on my own. I upgraded the cpu from a Mobile Pentium II 366MHz to a Mobile Celeron 466MHz (it uses a Micro-PGA1 a.k.a. uPGA1 processor package) without a hitch! I also installed a 6X...

I've been moving disk drives (DVD and HDD) around and upgrading OS (SuSE 9.0 to 10.0) over the past couple of days. In the process I've been playing with BIOS to get the drives ordered the way I wanted (and figure out who listens to BIOS drive ordering ;). While trying to figure out some...

Does anyone know of a chart that shows what cpu chips are fastest ? I'm having a hard time knowing the difference between pentium d, pentium 4, sempron, athlon, celeron, etc. I know sempron & celeron are slower but by how much slower I don't know. Thanks, Pete

So, I get to toot my own horn here; I have an excellent article online about Intel's next generation core, with an unmatched level of detail: http://www.realworldtech.com/page.cfm?ArticleID=RWT030906143144 In this article, I go through each major section of the MPU and compare it to the P4 and...

Do the Athlon 64's feature a shared memory bus? Can the north bridge in Athlon 64 systems directly read/write system memory (without utilizing the A64's built-in memory controller)? I'm guessing the north bridge can, but I'm not sure. -- Doug

Beste mensen, Ik heb een Intel Pentium 4 met HT (de "gewone" HT generatie). Als ik Windows XP (home edition) gebruik, is het dan verstandig om HT juist aan of uit te zetten in het bios?? Zijn er nog "trucjes" om meer uit het HT deel van de processor te krijgen. Graag jullie advies.

I'm totally a puter dummy, so bear with me? Or at least don't laugh in my puter face. :) Q: I see similar cpu's (roughly same fsb, cache, socket size, etc) with different voltages, ie; 1.5, 1.7, whatever. How much of a factor can this be? Do I have to match voltages to my MOBO? RAM? etc? thank...

AMD readies hounds to blood Intel's next gen hares "The HPC crowd will also love the memory controller enhancements. Think 1GB page tables and 48-bit physical addressing for a total of 256TB of RAM. Can you say Cray and SGI doing the happy dance? This part should have a happy home in large...
