Interesting old articles from the dawn of the Itanium age. I found it interesting reviewing it now that we're probably nearing its twilight. These two came from the time of the first Merced release in...

hi, I need to talk to RTL8169S chip (gigabit ethernet PCI) from level of FPGA hardware and need programming guide, or at least description of it's registers. Realtek , who produces these chips, doesn't want to respond my mails concerning documentation requests. If someone have any kind of...

my cpu is overheating when under full load its hitting 80 degrees then BSOD and shut down. thats with case fans on. i'm using a zalman flower heatsink and fan. should i get a new hsf? or is it the seating of the zalman? i'm never quite sure how much artic silver to use, i use a minimal ammount and...

hoping I have at least ONE stick of PC133@256mb here, in this "mystery group" of six sticks RAM. but not at all sure it's even PC ram, anyway, or if it's pc100, pc133, how many mb's each, or what??? would some kind soul please take a look at this tiny (yet well illustrated) site to see if I have...

How much "space" can a ROM chip hold? I know this may sound stupid, but why can't they put the Operating System on a ROM chip and make it faster? Or Microsoft Office on a ROM chip? I was just thinking about it and was curious. Thanks for indulging me.

Hello folks, I was wondering if anyone has seen this problem, and whether there's a work around (microcode update?): We have two identical embedded processor boards that use VIA's 1.0GHz Nehemiah C3 CPU. One has no issues running win2k, the other will not run the 16 bit application "wowexec.exe"...

hi, I'm thinking of building a new machine\ revamping my old one. I was looking around a I thought at which processor to look and a I thought about it: of all the processors the opterons line and the motherboards seem to be very scaleable and will be for a while (if buy a mobo today I can still be...

I have a PCChips Athlon (Socket A) board that has no model markings printed on it. I know it's PCChips made from the logo with DDR 266 on the chipset heatsink. It has two SDRAM and two DDR slots, one CNR slot, the BIOS chip 686 amibios (c)1999 SB46, two PCI, one AGP. Onboard video, sound, network,...

I think current CPUs and computers aren't really that much better than the cpus and PCs 10 years ago - they are just faster. So when do the real quantum leaps come - Quantum computers, real AI, machines that can do more than a Windows PC which really isn't more "intelligent" than an ancient Apple...

I want to spend a few months studying computer architecture, starting with the electronics. The knowledge that i'm starting with, is that I just know logic gates (on paper), i've done some karnough maps before, and I have designed a full adder in VHDL using XiLinx. So my knowledge is small, and I...

Could someone please explain the difference between a 3GHz Northwood 800MHz FSB OEM CPU and a 3GHz Northwood 800MHz FSB OEM CPU (PWS) that was from the same vendor for $60 less? Thanks.
