A friend and I were talking about RAM, and we were trying to figure something out. With the DDR RAM, what exactly is the correlation between the PC #'s (ie PC2700) and the Mhz (ie 333 Mhz) Why not just refer to them by Mhz like before? Just to confuse us ? :P I noticed that if you divide the PC #...

Hey, did any of you know that SCO is a Unix company? When did that happen? And apparently they are also upgrading their Unix. Apparently they did it as a result of their resellers' requests, so they even have resellers already. They're not just about lawsuits, apparently. Web Hosting Industry News...

Hi Who made those 168 pin DIMM memory ? Is it single or double side ? 128mb SDRAM PC133 NEW! 133MHz CL3 PC133-33-520

Hi. I have ordered a Sempron 2300 and a heatsink / fan to go with it. Trouble is, the heatsink is described as being suitable for an Athlon 2800+, and doesn't mention whether or not it will work with a Sempron. (I forgot to check.) I've seen Coolermaster fans, among others, listed as being good...

Working on another old PC, a Hewlett Packard Vectra VE, Pentium III. The memory slots are empty, so I can't even boot it up to see if it works. I don't work on PC's all that much, so while this may be a common memory type, I've never seen it before. Other memory cards I've seen are about 3"...

Are there ways to test a CPU chip and/or motherboard to determine if they are good or bad if they are not installed and operational? I'm hoping to find detailed instructions outlining the process to allow me to test multiple types/speeds and varied manufactures of these devices. Thanks!

I know upfront this is a way old and slow board, but not much I can do about that. Anyway I have what's identified by Belarc Advisor as an Hsing 586TX Rev 3.1 motherboard. The AMI BIOS is 0626, 7/15/1995. The processor was upgrade to a 200Mhz processor, but the bios did not recognize the change...

I am upgrading a computer that uses RDRAM (Rambus) memory. One pair of slots on the motherboard is filled, and I have found matching RDRAM on E-bay. The only thing is, I'm not sure whether what it's the computer now is Error-Corrrecting, and also not sure if the chips I want to buy are error...

I have permission from Lattice Press to distribute an excerpt from the extraordinary new book, "Microchip Manufacturing," by Stanley Wolf, Ph.D. This book is an illuminated guide to ULSI process engineering, including such vital subjects as wafer fabrication, thin films, silicon crystal growth,...

A friend of mine put his washer and dryer in the basement instead of in the ground-floor laundry room of the house he moved into last winter. The laundry room was then turned into his office. Over the summer I used the existing dryer exhaust vent to duct the hot exhaust air from his Opteron...

After 2 Gateways (with poor peformance records), I decided to go for a Dell. I'm not a techie so an above average 'puter for the masses is what I wanted. Some questions still need answers, though. For example: 1) Gateway (not Dell) offers BTX Technology. Is this something most companies will pick...

I'm starting to look around for a new motherboard, probably AMD Socket 939 I can't find any good reviews, comparisons, etc of current models... Anandtech has a six-month old article, Toms doesn't have anything newer... Basically, i even need to be comparing chipsets at this point, as it's been...

Tom's Hardware is hilarious. They've refined the art of *BS'ing* to a fine state. It's their pseudo-technical explanations that always try to be mindful of large advertisers are their biggest classics: techno-spin as an artform. Tom's is doing some kind of longevity endurance runoff test between...

Hello all, I need some guidance in choosing components for building a top of the line PC for personal use. If you have suggestions and/or can suggest web sites/links, it would help me a lot. I follow this group frequently - so I' am familiar with the tech terms but have never put together a system...

Hi Friends, I found a new VOIP forum, where there is a good syndication of VOIP technical white papers. It is really worth checking out - http://www.techieindex.com/ug/voip/index.jsp
