New unlocked Intel CPUs hit the market, for cheap by
Bill Davidsen
The new unlocked i5 and i7 CPUs hit the market today on sites like Newegg and
TigerDirect. At least on Newegg they are OEM, no cooling provided. Claims of
4GHz with air cooling have been on the net, but as my grandmother used to say,
"The paper hold still" (her translation from the German).

Putting UPS's in series? by
William R. Walsh
Hi!
Have you looked into replacing the UPS battery with a larger capacity
one?
This does not always work, especially if the UPS manufacturer never intended
for larger batteries to be used. The charging system may behave improperly,
especially with a cheap UPS.
This is the preferred (and...

Putting UPS's in series? by
William R. Walsh
Hi!
APC sez in their owner's manuals..."do not plug a UPS into another UPS or
into itself".
I've never been able to talk myself into ignoring that just to see what
happens. I expect that plugging a UPS into itself is begging for disaster
and will be very stressful on its circuitry at the...

Intel D510 Atom cpu by
Zeppo
I'm looking to build a really small inexpensive email and web browsing box
for my brother, an autistic person who lives a very small room in my sisters
house.
The D510 looks like it might fit the bill. I like a lot of things about this
processor and a small netbox should be easy to cobble...

freeBSD and compilers by
Jonathan de Boyne Pollard
I find for most applications the same is true of 32 bit. Fortunately
x86 maintains multiple widths of working registers from 8 bits up,
which can be taken good advantage of in some cases. For my work,
probably half of my variable can be held in 8 bits. Probably 40%
require 16 bits...

Far and near pointers on the 80286 and later by
Jonathan de Boyne Pollard
I have detested the old x86 segmented architecture for about three
decades.
Where "about" is "less than", given the release year of the 80286? (-:
x86_64 doesn't even support segmentation.
And good riddance!!! What took them so long?! :-)

Strange SSD performance by
Ivica
Yesterday I bought a new Intel X25-V 40GB SSD drive. I first tested it in a
running system, Windows 7 was installed on a 500 GB HDD. I used HDTach and
the performance was superb.

I then installed Windows 7 on SSD. I disabled Windows Search,...

D850EMVR motherboard: only 1.5GB PC1066 RAM. Why? by
Émeric
Hello,
I know, this is a pretty outdated consideration now, but could
somebody explain why is the total amount of memory the D850EMVR
desktop board can accept dependent on memory speed?
Indeed, from this page http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d850emv2/sb/cs-010572.htm,

Windows 2000 video drivers by
Peetie Wheatstraw
I am told that Windows 2000 video drivers for current hardware (i.e. Intel® HD Graphics,
NVIDIA, ATI, etc) are scarse to non-existent.
Does anyone know what (if any) video drivers are actually functional for W2k sp4 and
current gen video devices on Intel platform (i.e. Clarkdale)? Perhaps certain...

IA64 by
Jonathan de Boyne Pollard
The x86 line is long past retirement time, but the IntelMicrosoft
cartel won't allow it.
Intel spent much of the 1990s and a large amount of money trying to
retire it and convince the world that IA64 was the thing to use
instead. The world stuck with x86, and came up with x86-64. So...

Which CPU? by
[email protected]
I'm getting ready to custom order a new system to replace a P-4, 3.2Ghz
computer I've been using since I built it six years ago. I want to get the best
I can without going crazy with a thousand dollar CPU. I'm leaning towards an i7,
probably 920? Is this my best choice? I'm not a gamer, not into...
