My motherboard is an old one. I use it for recording / archiving radio shows. It's a Premio 212B = OEM version of MSI's MS-6112 This is a generic question about Pentium II CPU that fits the motherboard. I have a Pentium 266 slot 1 cpu and heatsink now in my computer.

Hi, I want to design tests for testing EM64T CPU, any help would be appreciated. Any algorithm/process/tests which test new registers included in EM64T CPU. may be load /performance testing methods. sachin

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...

Here's something I found interesting. Lenovo will be using AMD processors in its business-class IBM PC line. A few years ago, they wouldn't have even thought of using AMD processors inside business PCs, for fear that businessmen wouldn't understand who AMD were. Forbes.com: Lenovo CEO Looks...

I have some electronics-related questions about ripping vinyl. Specifically a phone preamp to work into either a sound card or onboard sound on an ASUS A8N8X-E. I already OWN the IP, or at least the license to listen to it, and I don't feel like donating enough money to the RIAA to buy ANOTHER...

Chipset house SiS's director was interviewed by Digitimes recently. One interesting that he said was that he's been encouraging AMD not to keep integrating the memory controller into the processor. Q: Designing chipsets for K8 platform would appear to be easier because there is no need to...

I'd like to add a used PC100 or PC133 256MB DIMM to my AOpen AX6BC BX440. It requires low-density: how can I discern the difference between low and high-density (I have the mobo manual, and believe I have a handle on the other spec requirements and compatability w/existing 2x128s)? Thank you

I've been building PCs for a few years now, and since Socket 7 I have preferred Intel motherboard chipsets (tho generally not Intel mobos). I recently moved from generic 865G motherboards to using Intel's Bayfield, which is a full-ATX based on that chipset. I've found reliability to be more...

I have a PC with an Asus P4-TE mobo. Right now I have 2 Rimms, each 256. My manual shows that the board can handle 2 GB of memory. The manual does not say that the memory must be added in pairs but I seem to have read that and it sticks in the back of my mind. The manual also does not tell me if...

I seem to be having CPU temperature trouble. I have an Athlon XP 2800+ on an ASUS A7N8X. I assembled it myself, buying a Retail (boxed) Athlon processor that came with the fan. It has been mysteriously turning off -- checked the fans and all are working fine (at least apparently) The hardware...

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.
