Hi, I know this issue has been pretty much been run in the ground, but the last year has changed my mind on this issue. Two cases. 1) Very old pentium pro system with ecc memory used for a firewall/bridge. Immediately had a memory parity error show on the screen and the system halted. Checked...

OK - I'm using an HP Pavilion zd7260 notebook. (the link is to a 7380 using the same processor) I'd like to know the specific CPU model that's installed (eg: a "532" P4) _________ Here's the information I've collected. Intel Processor Identification Utility:

Intel is saying that it will put the 64-bit extensions into all of its desktop processors by 2005, including Celeron. This 2005 date coincides with the date that Microsoft is expected to release Windows for x64! Of course that's just a coincidence, Microsoft couldn't possibly be giving Intel...

I've got an Iridium laptop that intermittently works , now all that happens is the power light flashes and it won't boot. Its like its stuck in RESET. Anyone? I tried a new CPU already and that had no effect. I also tried adjusting SW10 (the CPU/memory adjustment) from PC133 to PC100 etc and that...

Pictures of the outside (and inside!) of the newly introduced low-cost AMD internet surfing thin-client called the PIC are now available. The device uses an AMD Geode embedded processor using 1W of power, and it runs a souped up Windows CE operating system. Slashdot | Photos and Commentary On...

Is any special powersupply size needed for todays chips like the AMD64 3500+ ? The AMD site doesnt seem to have psu recommendations anymore. Most cabinets seem to have 300 or 350 watt powersupplies, so I assume that still works. Specifically, I'm considering a new Antec True380 psu (380 watts),...

Well here's a rumour that's bringing a glint to the eyes of Mac-crack-addicts: IBM might be selling its PC business to buyout Apple instead. Apparently it's all got something to do with anti-trust laws or something that IBM can't simply buy Apple right now, without first getting rid of its PC...

Im currently running a 600mhz intel processor on my MEW and I was told I could possibly run faster, but when I tried my 633mhz processor, and my 700mhz processor, they wouldnt boot, nor post. The fsb shows 133 and 150, should I set the board manually to 150? is there a flash I should try?

I'm planning to use SATA/RAID disks for the first time, with either a Asus A8V or MSI K8N Neo2 motherboard, and an AMD64 cpu. I use Ghost for system backups, which boots to a Dos floppy, and so the SATA/RAID is a big concern for it. Can it still work? The concern is about this Dos floppy for...

Hello, yesterday I bought a new fujitsu-siemens notebook with amibios v02.54. I configured an administration password. At startup there are two short beeps shortly before I can see the input field for the password. After entering the password there is one more short beep. Then Windows XP starts...

Greetings, Anyone with a crystal ball? I need to build a A64 within a few weeks, but I feel like I should wait until the Nforce4-based boards ship. Anyone know when they'll hit the shelves in Europe? Thanks.

I would like to know some opinions about a good and cheap combination for processor/motherboard/memory. I do not play games but I may need to use a heavy IDE like Microsoft Visual Studio .NET so I am thinking in 1024RAM. I also need a firerwire port. Also, I have a Matrox Millenium G450 video card...
