It is Thanksgiving and I see a lot of desktop computers at Best Buy and the like with pretty much Pentium 3.0ghz only on the shelves. I am excluding AMD at this time. Do you think that the stores and Intel are trying to get rid of 3.0ghz units for the next wave of perhaps 3.2 on the shelves since...

Ok, my gut feeling was that installing a copper shim was a mod that could provide measurable benefits. My reasoning was as follows: Presently my Maze3 waterblock is only slightly warm at the edges of the block, indicating a large thermal gradient between the center water channel and the...

Several months ago, a port on an NEC-based USB card failed (a section of its LM3526 power controller & overcurrent protection chip blew), and just recently the same happened to an ALI-based USB card. I'm pretty sure I didn't zap either card with high voltage because I always touch the outer metal...

Hello guys I've been lurking this group for some time and I noticed that most of you dont like VIA chipsets - some prefer NVIDIA too. But most motheboard benchmarks I read(Anandtech, Tom's, etc) show VIA being a very fast chipset, very often beating out ALI, SIS and NVIDIA in many benchmarks,...

Have a old PIII600E on a PC Chips M766LRT motherboard, hoop up a hard drive with pre-installed WN2000, the system keep rebooting itself after power up. The WN2000 starting bar graph shows up, then system went into reboot. Quesiton: 1) will pre-installed wn2000 normally work with M766lrt MB? 2)...

I do a lot of video work on my PC. The encoding process is extremely CPU intensive and can make the system responsiveness pretty slow while that's going on. With the filtering and compression that I do, a 1-hour clip can take upwards of 12 hours to compress on my Athlon XP1800. If I'm doing...

I found this a fascinating article, lots of detail about chess program optimizations and stuff, and none of it bores you.

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...

Greetings, In the competition for 4-way performance, IBM xSeries 366 with X3 architecture and 3.66MHz Xeons is bested only by a P5 entry from IBM and an Itanium entry from HP: http://www.tpc.org/tpcc/results/tpccadvanced3.asp Filter for 4-way systems and sort on tpmc.

Hi, Sorry if this is a bit of a basic question but my understanding is that the smaller you can make the devices the faster potentially they can perform. However there is a limit. Considering the speed of processors in PC's has increased from 100MHz or so to 3GHz, what is the fastest speed that...

Is any special powersupply size needed for todays chips like the AMD64 3500+ ? The AMD site doesnt seem to have psu recommendations anymore. Most cabinets seem to have 300 or 350 watt powersupplies, so I assume that still works. Specifically, I'm considering a new Antec True380 psu (380 watts),...

This article states that the original P4EE is being discontinued. It doesn't mention whether all further EE's will be discontinued or not, but it seems to be the implication. I wonder if that means AMD will also discontinue its FX line of Athlon...

I've been attempting to get to the bottom of a recurring BSOD crash happening on my system. I've already had 4 crashes so far over the past two weeks. So I've identified that NTOSKRNL.EXE is involved in all of them so far. It always somewhere in the stack. So I enabled Driver Verifier on...

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
