Ive got the option to buy a 2.8ghz laptop pretty cheap, i dont care about battery life as it will almost always be plugged in and while i would prefer it didnt burn my lap i could probably live with it since compile performance is a big deal to me{1} and not much else since i have a pretty good...

Hi all, I'm interested to understand the processor architecture in depth. So i decided on emulating the processor itself (as my project). The best one to start would be 386. So i wud require some documents which explains on how to emulate any processor or devices. ( Apart from the Intel...

Hi, Not sure if this is off topic :) but Im trying to use the GF(Q) multiplication in the AAU for 80331.What is happening for me is that for a two /3 source descriptor it is simply calculatiing the XOR . what I see is that the PQ enable bit in the ACR is not getting set :-/ .. here is how it...

Hallo! I installed today a new processor cooler for AMD. My CPU is AMD Palomino 2000+ and it was working well with the old cooler but it was too noisy and sometimes the temperature went over 70 C. Now after I turned on my PC I got only black screen, the system was not starting up. After 2 restarts...

There's been rumours lately that Apple might be able to get its first x86 Mac out by January 2006, ahead of its original projections of May 2006. This story doesn't seem to think that it's going to be ahead of schedule. Also it's mentioned that there are both engineering *and* sales teams assigned...

X-bit labs - Hardware news - VIA Makes Another Attempt to Re-Enter Chipset Market. http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/chipsets/display/20051122145105.html VIA has lost a lot of ground to Nvidia and ATI in the chipset market. It's probably not surprising, given their poor reputation for quality. Known...

I'm interested in how the bandwidth of AMD Opteron works. Specific to dual Opterons with dual core, I'd like to understand the details of how the four cores can/should share memory bandwidth. I'm considering use of a Tyan S2882-D motherboard. I think that will be a good choice for my servers but...

To read the marketing specs put out by MS you'd think the Xbox was a $300 supercomputer. On another note, how does MS calculate xfer rates to/from their memory? Is the 128-bit wide memory bus actually running at 700Mhz (non-DDR)? I didn't even know they HAD DDR memory that would run that...

I need some information on the type of chips (FGPA, ASICetc) that sits on a mobile phone. We have to implement an algorithm on a mobile phone, and we are not sure what are the kinds of chip configurations available. My early research tells me that FGPA's are reconfigurable but are energy intensive,...

Hi I have some questions: What should I choice? P4 3.4 is faster? L2 Cache make difference or not? Regards,

The probable answer lies in one of Google's underground parking garages in Mountain View. There, in a secret area off-limits even to regular GoogleFolk, is a shipping container. But it isn't just any shipping container. This shipping container is a prototype data center. Google hired a pair of very...

It's interesting how sections about AMD are titled with the word "troubles", such as "AMD Platform Troubles" & "AMD Code Name Troubles". Apparently nothing that Intel did merited using the word "trouble" with them. ;-) Yousuf Khan Tom's Hardware Guide Processors: The Mother of All CPU Charts...

I'm sure you've all read about this: http://www.reed-electronics.com/electronicnews/article/CA6285751.html.
