Has anyone else noticed that the 64 bit Opteron CPU's emmit a lot of heat? Is this normal? I have a dual Opteron board with dual Opterons.

Monarch Computer Systems Inc. from Georgia sent me a motherboard, which was an open box item, not to mention it was defective. I got an RMA, sent the board back on my expense, they replaced it - but charged my credit card AGAIN for the same item so now I have to go through the process of disputing...

My kids have a pretty old PC (a P4 1.6MHz) which has a single PC133 DIMM module fitted (128 or 256Mb, can't remember). I happen to have two old 64Mb PC100 DIMMs from an old PC kicking about at home - would it be OK/feasible/sensible to fit these in the two vacant slots on the kids' mobo? I...

These are just some rumours from some stock talk groups and other sites, but if they're true, they will obviously necessitate readjusting your next computer buying decisions: http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=20491978 http://www.overclockers.com/articles1096/ With, Intel's...

Hello, I was just shopping around for a new machine and the only thing I am left to decide on is which one of these processors I should choose. Today I almost bought a very nice HP Pavillion T680 with a AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor. It was only when I got home, I learnt that 3200+ doesn't mean...

Greetings, Intel has put out a blurb about the effects of hyperthreading on response time when performing multiple tasks: http://www.intel.com/update/contents/dt09042.htm Since the scenarios are described, if not in tremendous detail, one could imagine trying to duplicate (or question) the...

Does anyone know any websites where i can find athlon-m, processors like the 2500,2600 etc? there seems to be hardly any on the net so far the best i could find is www.overclock.co.uk but there must be a cheaper prices than £68 for a XP2500-M

I'm using a brand new Dell 4600 PC as a home network server. It gets accessed only about 2 hours every night, except on weekends where it is on 24/7. I noticed that everytime I power it down, its drive letter designation disappears from the other 3 computers that share its drive. So everytime I ...

I need to get some semi-technical background on PC architecture, hopefully without having to read an entire book. I'd do a search on Google, but we all know that searches lead to about 10,000 hits, so I'm hoping someone can steer me to the kind of document I am looking for. Basically, I am...

I was just looking to buy an upgrade for my Thinkpad's processor, and noticed that prices for Mobile Pentium 4-M chips are reasonable until 2.5Ghz, where they jump by around $200 suddenly! Does anyone know anything about the architecture of these chips that would justify this massive jump in price...

Reality in : There is 1500 (2200+) and a 2000 (2800+) in the Sempron model 8 range. There is 1500 (2200+) and a 2000 (2800+) in the Sempron model 10 range. looks like overlap model nos, but possilby no overlap in...

AMD does come out with performance benchmarks higher than intel. But i find many AMD systems not performing as expected against the intel counterpart. and almost always its the intel that wins in every aspect. Why is the bench mark different from the true story?? and if its the case of...

Hey, I have to get a good Laptop for my girl friend, but don't know what is best. I know the Centrino bundel is great, but what about a AMD M + w-Lan, which is better (haven't heard anything about the AMD M)?

Guys, I'm currently running an Opteron system, and am thinking of experimenting with a second, Athlon 64 based system, for cost reasons. It is much cheaper to put together an Athlon 64 system, as the CPU is cheaper per MHz, and the non-ECC memory is cheaper than the ECC memory needed by the...

I was going to purchase a Dell inspiron 1100 or 1150, but then I started reading about the celeron processor and thought maybe the inspiron wasn't such a good idea. Here's my problem: I am not very computer savvy, so I want to purchase a computer with good technical support. But from what I've...

Say a bus, like an FSB=100MHz, 100 cycles a second. also, the bus is 8 bytes in size. Suppose the RAM is just normal SDR (single data ram) not DDR. and it's 'single channel' not 'dual channel'. I dunno if in each cycle, the data on the bus travels both ways or just one way. I guess it's...
