Regarding whether Intel is going to be using the AMD64 language or not, and answer is not, it's using the IA-32e language. Other than the name it's exactly the same as AMD64, right down to the number of registers, and lack of support for Virtual-8086 mode, etc. Here is AMD's AMD64...

I now have a machine with AMD processor: 4600+, dual core, 2.4GHz. No smoke coming out of the back yet. I bought it because it had the features I needed at a price that was too attractive to resist. No other reason. When I turn this into a Linux box, I'll have to figure out what Intel has done...

"Ed" wrote in message ... http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1103_2-5101233.html It's interesting how these reporters don't even bother to say that the Itanium already has an internal x86 translater, and that this is just an improved...

**** The word 'Silent' is subjective and based on what a person considers to be noise, along with the sensitivity of the person's ears, and tolerance of different pitches. One man's silence is another man's noise ***** I've bought components after reading reviews that they're silent, only to be...

Hi all! I was having some trouble with my AOpen EU965 barebone ( http://xc.aopen.com.tw/Cube-m-specification%20.aspx?Auno=2209 ) and getting access to the full 4GB I plugged into it. And now their helpdesk is telling me the following: 'Based on the specification of the chipset, it can support...

Intel held its annual analyst day today. Lots of news coverage about it. Everybody is asking what's going wrong with Intel and what Intel intends to do about it. This article says that Intel will from now on start introducing new microarchitectures every two years instead of every 4-6...

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...

Looking to upgrade my Thinkpad 390 from Pentium II 300 ( 66Mhz front-side bus) to 333, 366 or??? CPU is a MMC-1 form factor. I can find the CPU's on Ebay, but am not clear if the computer will recognize slightly faster cpus. Intel made MMC-1 format cpu's up to 400mhz, but unclear if it was a 4x100...

Hi, TIA for your informative replies. My friend has advised me not to purchase an AMD 64-bit processor at this time, citing concerns with severe software incompatibility except for MS Server 2003 and Linux 64 bit OS'es. What are your experiences ? Steve -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client:...

Intel pulls back from FB-DIMMs "Intel is telling everyone who will listen that they are going back to rDIMMs in 2008 over about 90% of their server line. This is due to them not being able to hit power numbers, seemingly a problem with the tech itself vs implementations, and of course...

Hello all, I've (finally) hopped on the Wi-Fi bandwagon, and bought, among other gear, a pair of PCI 802.11g network adapters. Problem is, the PCI card is properly detected on my recent motherboard (2001 ASUS A7V133-C SocketA) but *NOT* on my older motherboard (1997 ASUS P/I-P55T2P4...

***Big News*** Intel's Itanium chips have hit the $14 billion in revenue mark!! However there was a small one-time over-optimism charge of $13.4bn. BUT THIS STUFF IS INCREDIBLE, IT'S EXACTLY AS IDC HAD PREDICTED ALL ALONG!! That's an amazing 5,665 server units, this past quarter!!! PS- Oh, and...

I came here a bit before the P4. The architecture of P4 seemed right to me: highly-pipelined, clocked fast, and with big bandwidth to memory. I didn't really understand about the trace cache, but I soon learned. I was an early adopter, and I was disappointed. The reasons for my disappointment...

Was just wondering which would be the best chipset if one wanted to build a pc today with an athlon xp.

I was wondering if someone could maybe elaborate a little on the new 64 bit processors that are comming out soon and how they will most likely affect us. First I'm wondering, can software written for the 64 bit processors run on our current 32 bit ones? If not, what timelines do the big companies...
