Hello everyone, Now that AMD sells "64-bit enabled Semprons", I am left to wonder: What are the differences between 90nm "64-bit enabled" 754-pin Semprons and 90nm 939-pin Athlon 64s? 1. The Sempron's memory controller is single channel while the Athlon's is dual channel. Is that right?

I was sorting through my junk box, and noticed one the Pentium 4 CPUs had on it 2M cache. I thought this must be the last of the socket 478 line, so looked ut up at Intel website. It is spec SL7Z9. However, their webpage says is LGA775. I know there were a few models that were issued in both 478...

I am having an overheating issue with a no-name box I got from CompUSA. The problem is that the machine will often crash on boot with a CPU Overheating message when the machine has been off for some time and the room temperature is in the low 60's F (about 16C). When the machine does finally boot...

Just a regular old Athlon 64 underclocked to 1GHz, offers both higher performance and lower power consumption than Intel Atom systems. A lot of the efficiency is due to the AMD/ATI 780G chipset, which consumes just 0.95W! That is compared against the Intel 945GC chipset which used up a whopping...

Does anybody know how much power the 90nm K8 dissipates? The reason I want to know is, there's a .37C/W HSF (heatsink/fan) available whose noise level really is 21dBA. A Thermaltake subsidiary(?), TR2TT, has a 21dBA 32.4CFM 2500rpm 80mm fan that they use in 4 HSF models: AMD K7 TR2-M3 (TT...

Looks like AMD is conceding the demand is too low at the moment for the A64: http://www.overclockers.com/articles819/ rms

Does anyone know of drivers that will work with the Intel 945G/GL chipset and Windows 98. I'm speaking about the First Edition of Windows 98, not Windows 98SE. I've tried a number of drivers discovered on the net, but so far without success. Intell provides drivers only for the Second Edition of...
