http://www.ictworld.co.za/EditorialEdit.asp?EditorialID=20287 No sooner has HP stopped making workstations than SGI has stepped in to make Itanium workstations. It looks like these workstations are a modification of their existing Itanium servers, as they are supposedly capable of being...

Dorothy, Couple of questions: Do you just post to sneak your SPAM signature in? Can you make a living selling fans?

In a discussion on another newsgroup, it was pointed out to me that the large die size of the Itanium is justified by other things besides its large cache. It is also highly superscalar. Which leads me to a question. Is seems to me that the AMD Opteron chips are comparable in performance, or at...

Hi All, I was interested in doing some profiling to figure out basic block execution frequencies and branch biases. This is the typical information that one would need to do several profile based optimizations (PBO). An instrumentation based approach instruments the software to collect profiling...

Someone is selling a computer on ebay they're calling a Pentium III Celeron. Maybe I have a misunderstanding of some issues. I was under the impression that Pentium and Celeron were 2 different lines of Intel CPU's, the Celeron being a "lesser" cousin of the Pentium. If this isn't correct, please...

I have bought a D865GBF mobo with a 2.4GHz 533MHz pentium 4 cpu. I put a new IDE hard drive (master) and a cd drive (master), no flopy disk. When I boot the machine I am able to go to the BIOS and configure the settings. I set the cd drive as the #1 booting drive. When I boot the machine it pass...

Hi all, Is there a list of all the currently being produced P4, Celeron, Xeon cpus and historically with the start production and the ending production? Will 800fsb P4's work correctly in a 533fsb motherboards? thanks, charles....

I have a PC with an Intel D865GBF board and a Pentium IV 2.2GHz CPU, 3 HDDs, DVD-ROM drive, 512MB RAM. Windows 2000 SP4 is the only OS on it. I recently downloaded and applied BIOS update P21 to it, where it previously had P6 in it. The BIOS update seemed to be successful (I heard the PC speaker...

My Prescott CPU gets quite hot I think, above 60 degrees Celcius. Idle it's around 50-55, but when loaded suddenly temperature could rise to 66 degrees Celcius. It once went up to 69, which is the maxiumum temperature Intel gives. Fan stays at around 3000 RPM. I remounted the heatsink, but it...

It occurred to me that I'm still using the version of the chipset software (5.0.2.1003 for the 865) that was current when I installed XP last year. It's up to 6.0.1.1002 now, and even after reading the readme's, I can't get any sense if it's safe or desirable to update to the current version. Does...

Could anyone tell whether REP prefix affects in any way the management of TLB ? I mean, while the loop is being executed does the CPU stores each new page information in the TLB ?

Is intel's microprocessor architecture open one? If not How come cyrix and via and amd make their processor *compatible* with the intel microprocessor and moreover market them with an adjective "compatible with intel"? don't intel take objection to that? greetings, Bob

Looking to build my own system and seeking opinions on what are the best components (motherboard, etc.) to use on a mid-range performing system. Not interested in using it for high performace gaming and the like. But would like to put together a P4 system, 800 MHz bus, etc. Any thoughts?

Does anyone know where I can get ATX-based blade chassis (standard 19" rack-mountable style)? Thanks!

Im looking into buying a laptop. Wandering what the difference is between these processors? What does a Centrino 1.7GHz compare to for P4?

Some of them have iAMT (Active Management), some have Matrix Storage (RAID). This is all for use with their dual-core Smithfield CPUs. http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20041025A1001.html Yousuf Khan -- Sending me email: if you can reply to this newsgroup posting, you will have to go through an...
