I bought an ASUS Vintage PE1 barebones kit, Intel 631 3Ghz processer, and Dual channel memory. The problem is the PE1 barebones kit does not support the 631 chip, only the 630. So, I am wondering if anyone can give me some good advice on which motherboard to buy that will work with the 631...

Folks, My ThinkPad 390E is equipped with a Pentium II, 300 MHz processor in the MMC-2 package. It appears to me that several faster Pentium III processors are available in the MMC-2 package. Can I drop one of the faster PIIIs in my machine and expect it to function properly and to produce a...

Hi, I'm looking for a SuperIO related controller chip with brand name "ServerEngines". But I couldn't find it even after googling. Thanks in advance. - Arun.

Please don't let this become a religious debate on external memory controllers vs. built-in, but IBM has done some serious bus contention reduction with their new memory controller. ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/eserver/benchmarks/wp_X3AppServer_020606.pdf -- bill davidsen SBC/Prodigy Yorktown...

Hi Friend, When I tried installing the drivers from mother-board CD on my new XP (after the XP-SP2 is installed), eventhough the installation status of audio driver shows "installed", I couldnt get the speaker iocn (or something like that) on the systray. Also, when I looked into the "Device...

I recently obtained a xeon chip and was wondering some info about it. The packaging said that its an hp zeon 3.2ghz 1 mb processor kit for dl360 g3. The xeon processor is brand new and never been used. It includes all documentation and packaging. 1st question. How much is this thing worth. I...

I have an Intel 865PERL and the board will not shut down. Pushing the power button causes the system to reboot. Pushing the reset button also causes the system to reboot (as it should). Choosing "shutdown" from Windows reboots the system, but this also happens when the system is not in Windows. My...

A friend has got for me two or three 3.06 GHz Xeon processors (512 KB cache, 533 MHz FSB which are upgrades for a Compaq DL360 G3 - p/n 322472-B21). I'm thinking of buying a Xeon motherboard and putting them in it to make a Linux workstation. (I don't have the Compaq server). Any suggestions as...

I want to upgrade my Intel 850emv2 system from an ATI Radeon 8500 to either a 9800 or x850. All I can find on the mobo specs are that it's AGP 2.0 spec (AGP 4x). It looks like the 9800 and x850 are AGP 3.0 spec (AGP 4x/8x). Anybody know for sure if either of these two cards will work properly? I...

I don't work much with Intels. Can someone tell me if the PC Chips P25G motherboard ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813185061 ) will work with a 2.5ghz Celeron with this on the die: 2.5GHZ/128/400 SL6ZY I know the cpu is rated at 400mhz bus speed and the motherboard...

No real details here, just a "stay tuned" message, but that should be enough to start wild speculations running. "One strategic path that will knock you for a loop, and which I'll detail soon, is AMD's coming escape from the confines of Intel's x86 instruction set. To this point, AMD has resisted...

I recently installed two new 1GB DDR400 sticks of RAM. On booting, a wire was stuck in the CPU cooler and thus would not spin. A small thin plume of smoke came from somewhere around the hard disk area. I have no clue what could have burned out (probably not the HD, but something around it), but one...

Hi, I've been looking up the Pentium II on Intel's website due to some problems we've had with our computer - the processor was a long shot, I know - and I was surprised to find that Intel didn't seem to have made any P2s of more than 450 MHZ speed. This puzzles me as ours is 1GHZ (and it...

Hi there, I want to programmatically find out whether the current processor is a Intel PXA27x supporting WMMX or WMMX2 but have not found any nice way of doing that. I know that I can find identification information in register zero in coprocessor 15, but that information does not seem to say...
