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.....

I have a PC with an Asus P4-TE mobo. Right now I have 2 Rimms, each 256. My manual shows that the board can handle 2 GB of memory. The manual does not say that the memory must be added in pairs but I seem to have read that and it sticks in the back of my mind. The manual also does not tell me if...

Does anyone have any experience with the subject motherboard, or the Nvidia integrated video in general? I haven't looked at the low end of the business for *years*, so am looking for some help. History: A friend's computer (Celeron 600) fried its brains recently and she needs a new system, but...

The new phrase is "Leap Ahead". Inside Intel http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/06_02/b3966001.htm Eric Kim is proposing getting rid of the Pentium name, and getting rid of the "Intel Inside" tagline, replaced with the "Leap Ahead". The reason? Kim's plan, cooked up with new CEO...

There was a lot of hay made about how a 4-way Xeon system with the IBM X3 chipset beat out a similarly configured 4-way Opteron system from HP (albeit with much greater cost, $1.83M vs. $0.48M). IBM ran the TPC-C tests with 64-bit Windows and 64-bit DB2; HP did it with 64-bit Windows and 64-bit...

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....

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...

I need to re-attach the heatsink to my processor, should I use a thermal pad or paste? What are the pros / cons?

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...

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...
