I found this hilarious, Intel is now getting its chipsets artificially excluded *by* other manufacturers like Nvidia. There's no reason why Nvidia should exclude SLI on Intel chipsets, except it wants to maintain an artificial competitive advantage over Intel. Revenge is ironic. Pentium Extreme...

New DVDs already sparking copy-protection confusion | CNET News.com http://news.com.com/New+DVDs+already+sparking+copy-protection+confusion/2100-1025_3-6040261.html?tag=st.num

Is it possible for some company (not Intel or AMD of course, probably not even VIA) to produce a $10 or $20 processor? The "internet appliance" machine (from Walmart?) could use one of those. Can't someone go back to old technology (not 45nm!) and make the cheap part? Tony

Like it says, when will we stop seeing Opteron 165s one the price lists? And, when it disappears off the charts, how much will an Opteron 170 or higher cost at that time? Will prices continue to trend steadily upward as supply dwindles, or would the prudent buyer be smarter waiting for prices to...

This might be old news to some of the regulars here but I thought it was very interesting reading. http://www.anandtech.com/mobile/showdoc.aspx?i=2693 I find that at times that anand has some good insight and some good articles, they also have an article on Newegg, which I thought was also a good...

Again the test is showing that Pentium M's get better power consumption under heavy load, but Turions get better power consumption under light loads. Intel's Pentium M 760 versus AMD's Turion 64 ML-44 - The Tech Report - Page 1 http://techreport.com/reviews/2006q1/pentiumm-vs-turion64/index.x?pg=1

Has anyone noticed the new feature on Google Groups that allows you to rate a message from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent). It even works on Usenet messages through Google Groups. Obviously a proprietary feature only available if you access Usenet through GG, not if you're accessing it directly. Yousuf...

A month back, I read that AMD was slashing its Opteron prices to let go of inventory before releasing socket M2. Lately, I've been watching AMD CPU prices rather hawkishly (the darling being the 3200+ Venice). Generally, we're watching stable prices with occasional dips, but lately I've seen...

I have the above. Generally happy with the performance. However in the future I'd like a Turion of some sort. The ML34 sounds decent at 1.8 GHz and 1Mb cache. However I don't think it'll be a huge performance increase over the already 1.8GHz Sempron. What about an ML30 which is 'only' 1.6GHz...

There was a rumour not so long ago, after Intel had copied the AMD64 instruction set that Intel had already developed and abandonned its own extensions a long time ago, so it wasn't really copying AMD. I think either Barrett or Otellini or both implied as much in some statements, which I can't find...

Well, at least they're being honest about the link-up. But it does make Intel look petty that they're ordering Skype to create a purposefully crippled version for non-Intel processors.

I have a relatively archaic d845pebt2 from intel with a 2.0Ghz celeron and want to upgrade it. anyway, its been very hard to find a P4 533FSB and 512Kb cache at a good speed. The supported processor list provided by intel has been updated a year ago so I dont know if my board will support a P4...
