I have a AMD Pro 3100A+ Processor running on a PC Chips M825G MainBoard. ( http://tinyurl.com/47fus ) with 1GB of DDR. Windows reports it as a AMD Athlon XP 2000+ Does anyone know why? BTW, its running at 1.67GHz and its not clocked. --

The new computer, to be built by Sun Microsystems Inc. using 13,000 microprocessors made by Advanced Micro Devices Inc., will be more powerful than any supercomputer currently in operation, UT says. It will have a peak computing power of more than 400 trillion operations per second, which makes it...

http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,113298,00.asp It seems Intel's market share went from 81.4% in Q2 to 82.6% in Q3. At this rate it will take another 3.625 years for Intel to achieve a 100% market share. At that point we can stop arguing over whether Dell should be forced to sell AMD...

AMD has accused Nvidia of corrupting the PhysX API, making it unable to use CPU resources properly, when prior to Nvidia's purchase it could easily make use of these resources. Nvidia denies this, saying that it's upto the application developers to make use of CPU resources explicitly. Yousuf...

Looks like the price cuts that Intel did have worked for it. Not too bad, but it's certainly not back at the 90%+ marketshares it had in retail in the not too distant past. It's never going to get to those levels ever again, not with the anti-trust lawsuit hanging over it. Intel takes back lead...

Looks like the AMD Opteron is quickly becoming the favoured chip for large supercomputing applications, only a few months after introduction. Their latest announcement involves Los Alamos National Lab in New Mexico, which will build two separate computing clusters from these chips, one called...

Whatevey you choose, do not use Dell. I have a 1.8G dual-CPU, 1G RAM and it froze all the times. Tony G. Smith Vizros - Realistic 3D page curl plug-ins and more Demo at http://www.vizros.com/gallery.html NM wrote in message...

Howdy.....I know the Core Duo and Woodcrest are on top now......just wondering what people may know about things coming down the pike by April or May..... Thanks much.....

Windows 7 oem vs retail Can the less expensive oem version be installed by a DIY person like me? I'm interested in the 64 bit Pro version of Win 7 due to it's lower cost; recently $140 from Newegg Is a separately purchased key or something else like that needed?

Looks as if the NX-bit handling hasn't been fully debugged yet in the new Pentium 4J and Celeron J. http://www.aceshardware.com/forum?read=115105196 Search for Errata R64, R65, R66, R68 in the following PDF: http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4/specupdt/30235206.pdf There's also other...

AMD seems to offer more back for the buck but it seems that they never offer desktops with AMD cpus. I seriously doubt people buy off the shelf PC's based on CPU brand since DELL etc.. are now commodity products and they choose on features and price not INTEL or AMD. Selling PC's as 64bit in the...

Why don't hard drive manufacturers figure out a way to stripe data across the multiple platters in a hard drive to get greater throughput? It seems to me that if you have multiple heads and platters you should be able to multiply the throughput to some extent based upon the number of...

Dell has said that it does not want to raise prices on its systems any more than what it normally does with any other new CPU introduction. With Intel expected to ask upto 90% per dual-core CPU than single-core, either Dell is going to have raise its prices, or Intel will have to reduce its. My...

According to this article Sun & Serverworks are cooperating in designing an Opteron chipset that could go upto 32 CPU's! Serverworks is the unit of Broadcom that up until now has been known for producing multiprocessor chipsets only for Intel's Xeon. And they produce the chipsets that allow the...

Such a key combination, if exsists, will save us the trouble of changing the boot device priority for floppy from cmos. Does it exsist? "Ctrl+Home" does not work if the floppy is not for re-flashing.

Very detailed and technical play-by-play of somebody discovering a rootkit installed on their system by Sony Corp.! You gotta wonder what somebody could do if they weren't familiar with the low-level details of a Windows system, like this guy was? Mark's Sysinternals Blog: Sony, Rootkits and...
