According to an interview with Bob Muglia of Microsoft, there are already over 10,000 drivers that have been ported to the AMD64 platform! === Paul: Obviously, driver support is going to be the big problem. BM: You know, the thing you have to realize is that, yes, that is the key issue, but...

Suggests that the followon generation to the Prescott Pentium 4 is no longer following on. There might already be an AMD64-capable Pentium M ready to take its place. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=15749 Yousuf Khan -- Humans: contact me at ykhan at rogers dot com

In my opinion, the suit is without merit. The patents cover a logical method to start and stop a clock signal going to a CPU with phase. Its primary invention was to OVERCLOCK a cpu. Intel's clocking methods use advance circuitry such as high frequency PLL's and other forms of more sophisticated...

http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/05/13/HNprescott_1.html So what's all expected for Q3 now? - 64-bit extensions - 1066 MHz Bus - 3.73 MHz Prescott/Dothan? - Grantsdale/Alderwood chipset with PCI Express How about on-board Firewire 800 and SATA-II?

What would AMD's market share be if they could sell all the CPUs they make right now, taking away Intel sales in the process? Anybody have this kind of data? Just curious about their short-term market share potential (that is, without new fabs or fab conversions). Neil Maxwell - I don't speak...

This is the URL. http://www.iwill.net/zmax/zmaxdp_1.asp The pictures look cool. Though I doubt the suggested price - $499, especially after I just spent over $1200 on a dual Opty system, trying to cut every corner to push the price down. Or it's just for barebone system, and you pay for memory,...

my gigabyte GA-K8VT800M unfortunately does not seem to support cool'n'quiet. so, in order to get my computer to be a bit more quiet, I would love to reduce its clockspeed---of course, not supported in the BIOS, either. are there any windows or linux utilities that would allow me to throttle the...

Have a good health. I propose you some quotes of my article posted in comp.misc ====begin==== And I invent a conception of technology which I named "codemorfing" (I read it as "coddemmo'rfin'g") However I did not implement it and I was not able to do it.

If I try to run a (say Pentium 3) CPU with a 133 MHz FSB on a motherboard that only supplies a 100 FSB, will the thing just run at 100 FSB and 25% slower in overall speed too? TIA Norm

Could the ram/cpu upgrade for pocket pcs be done through ram sockets like in the old pc days ? Does the sdram pinout change with more Mbits per chip (within same specs), are the economics really that bad for solder vs. socket, or could one PPC model slip inside 200-700$ range ? Sorry to post this...

I know there is a little bit of skepticism (well actually a lot of it) about x86's potential in the 4-way market. The high-end server market has feasted on the high prices due to the lack of competition from any commodity systems at this level. There's been talk for years that Intel is finally...

How hard would it be to modify the north bridge for dual processing ?

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/22/opinion/22FRIE.html So, had some time while the processor usage is over 100% and I just have to wait (oops finished now) for the processing. So I started reading CNN, and was happy to see that at least SOME people see what I noticed earlier, see above...

I thought this was interesting: Brian Dipert's "upgrade" from a VIA C3 to a Pentium M based living room PC for "entertainment" use. Mbrd made by Lippert - first I've seen of an ITX mbrd. Rgds, George Macdonald "Just because they're paranoid doesn't mean you're not psychotic" - Who, me??

I have a dual-capable SBC CPU board which accepts Socket 370 CPUs and I happen to have 2 Pentium III cpus, one is 700MHz and the other is 800MHz. What are the chances that I'd be able to run, say, Linux or Win2K with this combination? TIA Norm

Hello, I have developed a fully PCIX compliant card which performs a DMA into the systems memory (64bit/133Mhz). The PCIX controller on my card is a Xilinx PCIX core, running on a Virtex2P FPGA. I use the PCI command x"07" to write burst of 4Kb. The OS is Linux Redhat 2.4.26. The DMA works properly...
