A friend of mine claimed that with the demise of the P4 NetBurst architecture, Intel went back to useing a tweaked P!!! core for their Core designs. Is that true? If so, what has been tweaked since then? -- regards , Peter B. P. - http://titancity.com/blog

http://www.edn.com/article/CA6395573.html Funny that Intel's demo system used but a single Nvidia card - their mobo does not support Nvidia in SLI mode, but DOES support ATI in SLI mode. I wonder why they chose Nvidia? 8)

Hi everyone, I just bought a core 2 duo 1.86 with a board by ECS that allows you to use DDR1 and AGP (for us poor *******s that can't afford new memory and video cards) and I know this is supposed to be a great overclocker, I am sure however I am limited with overclocking by my memory.(but I...

I'M AWARE THAT I HAVE POSTED THIS QUERY IN ANOTHER NEWSGROUP BUT THIS ONE SEEMS TO BE MORE ACTIVE. I have an Intel D865PERL motherboard that has a 2.8 GHz chip installed. I wish to upgrade to a faster chip but am confused. My manual that came with the motherboard says that the board will...

Can I overclock with DDR1 and a core 2duo? TIA Bitsbucket

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can give me a rough idea of how many systems use Functional Redundancy Checking with Intel CPUs, and what sorts of systems they are. For example, is FRC used by Intel's internal quality control only, or is it used by some (rare) special purpose systems (aviation?), or...
