Researchers create laser light interconnects on silicon. Channels etched in silicon are used to guide IR laser light generated by a bonded indium phosphide layer that is electrically activated. Thse optical on chip interconnects could lead to 100x faster interconnects. No capacitance.... no...

Hello. Lately, I have been getting random and rare kernel panics on my old Debian/Linux box (tried both Kernel versions 2.6.30 and 2.6.32). I couldn't figure out what it was until I discovered mcelog a couple days ago, and it revealed interesting scary datas in my dmesg/messages and syslog: #...

I've just bought a new laptop with an Athlon 4 XP-M 2400+ CPU. When idling, the CPU runs at 1.06 GHz; when working flat out, it runs at 1.79 GHz (according to Windows XP). Surely this would make it an XP-M 2200+ CPU? If the advert said it's a 2.0GHz CPU, should I send the damn thing back? Also,...

I'm planning to add some memory to a PC. The motherboard supports "DDR up to 333 MHz (enhanced) memory bus." 333 MHz (PC2700) or slower DDR SDRAM isn't easy to find on today's market, and when you do find it, it's considerably more expensive than the DDR which runs at 400 MHz (PC3200). What...

There was some speculation about AMD working on a mechanism that would allow a multiprocessor/multicore system to gang-up the cores and use it to execute single-threads much faster, also nicknamed as inverse Hyperthreading. I think you could even call it "micro multithreading", since it's finding...
