Have an HP Pavillion 8370 PC (oldie) with P2, any CPU upgrades possible? by
Robert Casey
Yeah, it's an old box (1998) with a 333MHz Pentium 2
CPU. I could get an upgrade CPU for not a lot of $
from a web site "computergeeks.com" IIRC but I don't
know if the motherboard would support it. Anyone know
of this line of HP machines?
I replace the hard drive with a much bigger one...

Newisys' 32-way Opteron chipset by
Yousuf Khan
Newisys is talking about bringing out a 32-way Opteron server by next year
with a chipset which I assume they developed themselves called "Horus".
Horus seems to be a coherent Hypertransport switcher chipset.
This may become a direct competitor of the upcoming Serverworks/Sun chipset
which is also...

Is Itanium the first 64-bit casualty? by
Yousuf Khan
Interesting reading here, and very common-sense. Itanium may be the next
casualty in the 64-bit wars, when Itanium was the one that caused the 64-bit
wars to start in the first place.

COPPER CPU SHIMS: The Definitive Answer !! by

P4 Extreme Edition discontinued by
Yousuf Khan
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...

Asrock w/ Celeron "D" 2.4ghz/533FSB only shows 133bus in Belarc by
Ruckman
I have messed with my BIOS settings but the clock speed is "locked"
according to the menu. When I run the Belarc advisor (www.belarc.com)
is only shows the bus as 133mhz. Should it not read "533mhz"?
Basically how do you know for sure your CPU is running @ 533mhz?
thx in advance....Scott

Intel Shelton processor by
Yousuf Khan
http://arstechnica.com/news/posts/20040811-4091.html
http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=17790
Apparently it's based on a Celeron 90nm running at 1Ghz with no cache
(presumably no L2 cache rather than L1). I assume that this means that it's
a P4-based Celeron rather than some P-M-based Celeron....

PC processor power consumption by
U. U.
I am going to finally replace my 6 year old IBM Aptiva. Since I expect the
cost of electricity to go up steeply after the election, my main goal is to
keep down power consumption and heat.
I know some of the AMD processors can run at only about 5 watts in standby
mode, but I can't find similar...
