I'm thinking of doing a processor upgrade in the next couple of months. Currently I have a single core Athlon BE running at about 2.6 GHz. I've got a fairly new (~ 5 months old) motherboard that is AM2+. I do a lot of video compression into h.264/mpeg4 using Nero Recode, and occasionally...

I decided to do a test this evening. Upstairs I have a Sempron 3000+ based system (~ 2 GHz) that is about 2 years old. Downstairs I have an Athlon LE-1640 (~ 2.6 GHz) based system that is less than two months old. (note that earlier I said I have an Athlon BE - wishful thinking on my part,...

This is Corsair Dominator memory. This just came with my HP Blackbird PC but I upgraded to 8GB. The same memory goes for $174 at Newegg's website and is out of stock. Get a bargain today!! Corsair Dominator 4GB (4x1GB) 240 pin DDR2 SDRAM 1066mhz (PC28500) The model # is CM2X1024-8500C5D. The...

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...

The first generation of chips & boards in the Larrabee family is still at least 1 year away, and somewhat longer if they don't launch until 2010. These will consist of chips as small as 4-8 cores, and as large as 48 cores, perhaps even 64 cores. They could also consist of dual-Larrabee...

The old original 8086 & 8088 topped out at 10Mhz (originally produced at 4.77Mhz). The 80186 & 80188 were the embedded versions of the 808x, but otherwise pretty close to identical. Well, it looks like the question has been answered: between 55 & 66Mhz. EEProductCenter.com :: Intel-compatible...

When I was sold the AMD K5, and Cyrix 686 processors, I was lead to believe that they were instruction set compatible with the Intel Pentium, apart from four rarely used instructions relating to Intel Pentium pipeline management. (I never got round to looking at these.) However, some of my...

Hi all, this is what i have read in the book, "Essential electronics for PC technicians" moderns P.C's have voltages present on the motherboard even when the P.C is turned off 1 to allow faster booting 2 to provide WOL and WOM

Hello, Since a few days I have a second-hand motherboard (Asus A7V400-MX) with a default memory dimm of 256MB (DDR PC2700 256MB). Because I want to run SuSE Linux 10.3 on it to manage my synthesizers, I had to extend the memory with a dimm of at least 1 GB. My vendor gave me Kingston...

Hello all, I don't see much activity here, but I'll ask anyway. I have some mems in my PC, ref CM72SD1024-3200/S and I wanted to get more. But what I received are CM72SD1024RLP-3200/S G and they don't work (I get a bunch of POST beeps). What is the meaning of this 'RLP' and what is the problem...

I have a 7-port USB 2.0 hub, which for some reason will not allow a certain USB keyboard to initialize under it. Everything else connected to this hub works properly, e.g. two different mice (one Microsoft, one Logitech), to a VoIP phone. I have another 4-port USB 2.0 hub that this keyboard...
