cpu pins - architecture correlation? (beginner question) by
[email protected]
I'm curious about how the number of pins on a cpu correlates to
underlying architecture. For example on a picture of an old 8086 I
counted 40 pins. From what I've read the 8086 was an 16 bit
architecture. The 80386 had 68 pins. From what I've read this chip
was the first from Intel to support...

Video cards using TurboCache by
YKhan
Yeah, with regular 2D applications (most Windows apps), pretty much
anything over 8MB or 16MB is unnecessary. Where the huge amounts of
memory on the video card are needed these days are with 3D apps (most
games). The games store their bitmaps onboard the video memory, and the
more video ram there...

New Duron is just an Athlon XP by
Yousuf Khan
A Russian overclocking site has managed to turn a new Duron into a
full-fledged Athlon XP, by just locking some bridges on the processor.
Although you're going to save close to no real amount of money by getting
the Duron over an actual Athlon XP, it does prove that the new Durons are
just Athlons...

What is the difference betwenn "Slot A" and "Socket A" ? by
Peter Meister
I am a bit confused about the difference of motherboard sockets
labelled "Slot A" and "Socket A".
Often it is written that AMD Athlon CPUS fit into SLot A
and at other places into Socket A.
So if Athlon CPUS fit into both types then the socket types must be the same ?
Or are there any...

well, but the processor belogs to another computer and needs to go back. To
replace it, I purchased an Intel P4 2.66GHz 533FSB 512k cache processor,...
