I was looking for suggestions as to what Intel motherboard seems to have the least problems when installing OS X86? I was hoping to get a 965 chipset board but there doesn't seem to be many OS X86 users that have experimented with it. I'm looking for: 800 mhz / 8 gb ram capability Firewire...

Hi, I'm currently running a P4 550 3.4Ghz on a system I built a couple of years ago. Do I have any processor upgrade options for the ASUS P5GD2 Premium motherboard (which I understand was one of the best mobos available when I got it, certainly one of the most expensive)? It uses the 915P...

Hi Can someone please help me with what driver updates do I need to download and from where for following to work on my WinXP Professional I checked on the IBM Support site that to Enabling TV-Out in my laptop i need to do following steps but I don't see these options on my currect Inter Graphics...

Hello, I currently have a PC with a P4 Northwood 2400 MHz, overclocked to 2700 Mhz. I use my PC to do a lot of number crunching, like audio coding and decoding. I am trying to figure out if a newer faster PC is really worth the upgrade. I have my eyes set on the Core 2 Duo, yet I do not know...

I have a Supermicro X7DAE motherboard with two dual-core Xeons (model 5080) and I need to relocate everything to another chassis with better cooling. The problem is that I believe that removing the active fans/heatsinks on the CPUs will also pull out the CPUs themeselves because of the adhesive...

This is a real head scratcher and of course, Intel support has been eh, non-supportive. So I'm turning to the experts here. This is a new computer that I built, DG965WH, 2.16 mhz core 2, 6 sata hds, raid 5, nvidia 6800 ... According to a psu calculator, the 420w psu that came with the case was a...

A friend of mine just purchased a new system. The system has an Intel DQ965GF motherboard. It came with IDU (Intel Desktop Utility) v3.0. It looks like IDU has the capability of monitoring processor temp, voltages and fan speeds. However, none of these sensors show up on the IDU. I've looked over...

Hi, I came into the posession of a Chaintech socket 478 motherboard (Intel 82845 & 82801 chipset), and a couple of Intel processors: P4 1.5, P4 1.6A (Northwood), P3 1.7 and a Celeron 2.5GHz. Which processor do I install? I heard the 1.6A can be overclocked up to about 3GHz! That isn't what I...

Hello, What is the diffence in voltage between core 2 duo and latest Pentium 4/D ? I just want to understand if the difference is very important, or if a manufacturer of a one year old motherboard (with chipset intek 945 or 955, by example), can add support of a core 2 duo with acceptable...

4 x 533mhz 1gb sticks worked before but now I'm trying a different brand. I think it might have something to do with the timings. (They are all the same series.) I put one stick in, and set the ram timing for the indicated numbers listed below it in the bios. Then I put another stick in and...

Hello! Was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I've come across recently. I had a working RAID system running 1 set of mirrored disks however both the disks have recently died. Thankfully the drives died a few months apart, and I was able to connect replacement disks and...

Hello! I am an apprentice of the Intel 8086 CPU and its assembler language. I was thinking about maybe there existing an "unfolded segment:offset" version of the 8086 (NOT 80286, NOT 80386, NOT 80486, NOT Pentium, NOT Itanium, ...)

Does Intel have a document listing the nominal or acceptible operating temperatures of it's CPU's? As reported by the on-board (or on-die?) temperature sensor? I'm specifically looking for info on this guy: SL7KB (Intel Pentium 4) Prescott / socket 478 3.00GHZ/1M/800

Ok, let me get this straight. I'm a newbie but maybe I can understand this... I can't get the fastest graphic card for the fastest chipset, but rather, settle for the second fastest chipset? And settle for the second fastest video card (at a whopping $600) with Intel? Not that I care so much...

I've just bought a HP Pavilion with a Intel P965 Chipset and a Intel 82801 HR/HH/HO Sata Raid Controller. I've installed Windows Vista Ultimate on my machine. Windows auto installed the RAID controller. When i was using Windows Vista i've get many times the system freezes for about 20-30 seconds....

Hi all! Just curious... On my Intel® P965 / ICH8R Chipset system, I am running 2x2HD's with RAID0 & RAID1. Because of this I can't monitor the S.M.A.R.T. values with normal utilities. Are there any utilities that will be able to display certain S.M.A.R.T. values (I am especially interested in...

Intel has some investment in getting this new CPU cooler on the market, so I guess this is on-topic in this group. Actually interesting, I have to wonder if case cooling fans could also be made with no moving parts to fail. http://www.tfot.info/content/view/110/59/ -- Bill Davidsen...
