AMD promises new Turions will bring 5-hour battery life - TechSpot News http://www.techspot.com/news/24678-AMD-promises-new-Turions-will-bring-5hour-battery-life.html -- There is no failure, only delayed success

The price war is getting underway now, it's great to be a PC consumer again, if not a shareholder in these companies. It's in response to Intel's imminent release of the Core 2 architecture. "AMD Strikes Back: 50% price cut to dual core" http://www.hkepc.com/bbs/itnews.php?tid=613657

Hello Recently our department bought a Fujitsu-Siemens Celsius V810 with 4 GB memory. This has two Opterons processors and a D1692 motherboard, similar to a Tyan Thunder K8W (S2885). The BIOS version is 1.04.1692 (2004/06/22). The computer only shows 3.5 GB (this is both in the BIOS, the...

i have 3 slots on an award p3 motherboard, 2x256 sdram pc133 and 1 512 sdram pc133 but it only registers 768 megs of ram. is there anything i can do to get it to register 1 gig of ram? tim

I'm upgrading my old rig (Athlon 2200+, Asus board) to a new ECS KN1 board with a Athlon 64 processor. Here's the question. I do alot of video rendering and editing. I can afford about 110-130 USD for the chip. Should I get a faster Sempron 64 with a smaller cache, or a slower Athlon 64 with...

Hi, I have a problem with a Dialogic board "DM/IP301-1e1-PCI". I installed that board in a Piv 1.6Ghz Mainboard D845WN and I can't do it starts. The board's power requirements are 22.5W @ 5V, and using PC Wizard I see that the PCI slot used by the Dialogic board has this description: "In Use...

Intel showed this thingie on 2004 Barcelona IDF. The funny thing - 64bitness is realized with 2 32bit units and 64bit instructions need TWICE the time compared to 32bit instructions. I may be wrong here, but thats what I understood when reading/hearing about this chip. My impression was that Intel...

Hi, TIA for your informative replies. My friend has advised me not to purchase an AMD 64-bit processor at this time, citing concerns with severe software incompatibility except for MS Server 2003 and Linux 64 bit OS'es. What are your experiences ? Steve -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client:...

imho, buying a chip without an assembler is like buying a fuel cell powered car. Since AMD has embraced open source they should just post their assembler source and LETS GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD. Or maybe we should just wait for Intel. If Intel was smart they would announce x86-64 tomorrow knowing...

I was wondering if someone could maybe elaborate a little on the new 64 bit processors that are comming out soon and how they will most likely affect us. First I'm wondering, can software written for the 64 bit processors run on our current 32 bit ones? If not, what timelines do the big companies...

hi, I'm thinking of buying the a high end 478 MoBo with a Prescott CPU. I have been debating weather or not i will get a good balance of longevity and power out of it, because it is not 64 bit like the athlon64s are. A bit after thinking about this i heard that later Intel will add 64 bit to...

http://www.anandtech.com/guides/viewfaq.html?i=112 Unless this is way off the mark, what advantage is a 64bit chip going to have for desktop performance? I can see where a server/database/large number crunching with a bunch of ram it would be great but for typical desktop use it doesn't seem like...

Are their any motherboards that accept more than 4GB of non-registered RAM? Tom Payne

Found the following availability matrix of Microsoft software for 64-bit. It includes both Itanium and x64 software. http://blogs.msdn.com/draper/archive/2004/04/21/117517.aspx Yousuf Khan -- Humans: contact me at ykhan at rogers dot com Spambots: just send mail to above address ;-)

Building a computer from scratch. It'll be built for someone who'll use it for alot of things, but tilted in the 'gaming' direction. Should whether the processor is 64-bit or 32-bit matter? If not, when? If so, how so? In other words, should I go AMD or Intel? I understand AMD is slightly faster...
