Hello! I was thinking about maybe there being interest between the intel assembler programmers and CPU architecture connoisseurs about an "unfolded segment:offset" version of the original i8086. As every programmer here knows

The street price for these two (OEM) are exactly the same ($233 CDN): Pentium D 945 3.4GHz / 4MB Cache / 800MHz FSB / Dual-Core / Presler Core2 Duo E4300 1.80GHz / 2MB Cache / 800MHz FSB / Conroe / I'm thinking that the D will run hotter. It's also got twice the cache as the Core. The core...

Hi Guys. What would you recommend? The Intel Core Duo (T2250) or Intel Core 2 Duo (T5200) ? The T2250 has a processor speed of 1,73 GHz and the T5200 a processor speed of 1,6 GHz. They have the same Front Side Bus speed of 533 MHz, but do any of you know

Hello, I am building a new core2 duo system and have the Intel D975xbx2 motherboard. I bought a new nine hundred case from Antec and one of their 650 watt high end power supply. My question is there seems to be 3 power connectors on this motherboard. For a core2 duo processor do I connect all...

I was experimenting with some 800mhz ram and was surprised to see it took 4 gbs of it running in dual channel with no apparent problems. In the bios it mentions what looks like the optimal timing settings (5-5-5-15) for that particular ram. But when I changed the timings to match those, the...

Hi - I just purchased an Intel Quad Core QX6700 and some DDR2-800 RAM. Wondering if there is any benefit to the motherboard I get supporting 1333 FSB vs. 1066? -- Scotter

Hi, I recently found that I cannot rotate my laptop screen anymore after I reinstalled WinXP on a new hard drive. My laptop is over 3 years old. It is not a tablet PC, but I remember I was able to rotate screen from Control Panel - Display - Settings before I reinstalled WinXP. I don't know what...

I've put a new release of sys_basher on the web. The major new feature of this release is temperature logging. Sys_basher now displays the CPU and system temperatures after each test and the maximum temperatures after all of the tests have completed. I've also added limited Cygwin support so...

In shopping for parts to build a new system (I haven't done it for a few years), I find that a 2.66 Ghz Pentium D is going for about $71.00 while a 2.66 Ghz. Kentsfield is priced around $970.00. As a retired hardware engineer with VLSI experience, I realize that these are quite different...

Hi Folks, When Intel advertises it's Core Duo as having a clock rate of (e.g.,) 1.83 GHz, does that mean 1.83 GHz *per core*, or is each core 0.915 GHz for a total of 1.83 GHz? I didn't even look in the Intel documentation for this answer as I'm afraid of marketing trickery. We're seeing a...

Hi, I am currently planning to build a computer like the MITS Altair 8800 that used the Intel 8080 CPU. The big problem is that these CPU's are very hard to get, and i've bought a new 8085 counterfeit i think at 5 bucks. We are 3 guys on this project, but we still have very limited budget. I have...

Hi Ive got a e6600 duo core, im getting temps around 48c unloaded, im using the Thermal analysis tool. From what ive seen of other poeple therm tool, they seem to have both sides of this tool working, i get a dark temp and freq on cpu 0 and on the right of this prg its cpu1 its got a temp and...

Hello I am trying to find the L1 data cache miss rate on a Pentium Xeon dual core. Initially I tried PAPI but the counter for L1 Data cache access rate is not defined for P4/Xeon. I tried looking up the IA-32 SD manual, but cant seem to find what I am looking for? Can anyone give some tips as...

Can a celeron M processor be used in a motherboard that currently takes an intel M processor. Basically, can the two processor be interchanged? (I realize the performance would not the same, etc...) Emilio

I'm optimizing the memory and cpu clock settings on an Asus P5NSLI motherboard and have been using memtest86+ (v 1.70). The board has a Core2 E6300 (1.86 ghz) clocked to 2.04 ghz (with stock cooler) and I'm getting about 3335 mb/sec for the memory speed on memtest. What sort of memory performance...

Hi, Computer specs are as follows: Motherboard: ASUS P5ND2-SLI Processor: Intel Pentium D 830 3.0GHz Hard Drive: 250GB SATA RAM: 2x 512MB DDR 667MHz Video Card: ATI Radeon X1300 PRO Optical Drive: Pioneer DVR-110D DVD-RW

Hi all, I need to put together a 1U file server. I would like to know which of the newer chips runs the coldest because that seems to be a big issue with 1U cases and the fans on the cpus are real short. Speed is a secondary issue. thanks, charles....

Can I upgrade my P4 478 400fsb to a 478 533fsb? I have an intel motherboard in a Gateway 500S machine.
