I'll be installing XP on 2 raid drives. I've already set them up in the BIOS, so I'm all set to go. When I start installing XP, when do I push F6 to load the RAID drivers from the floppy?

Hi, Is there any information on the number of cycles a "complex" instruction blocks the instruction decoder? I am trying to build a DFA scheduler description for the Intel P6 arch for GCC, but I just can't find any information on the decoding of complex instructions. In fact I can't even find...

Many here read the inquire but I found this article worthy of posting. Centrino with Dothan vs Pentium 4 or 5 with 64bit extension possible could be the options in the near future for Intel desktop. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=14162

I recently put a system together to use as a simple firewall/router. based on a pentium pro 200 intel r440fx serverboard. Looking for any related files for this board, such as scu floppy image, bios upgrades,etc. would like to be able to enable onboard ethernet and remove hardware/watchdog errors...

A bit late isn't he?

I have a question about the Intel D875PBZLK motherboard. According to Intel, this board supports ECC DDR memory. It seems that all the ECC memory is also "registered" memory. Will registered ECC PC3200 DDR memory work in this motherboard? Thanks. John

Of course this is bull****. Intel's 9XX chipsets will take over a year to take become popular. Almost no one want's a PCI-E system without PCI or AGP. PCI-E may even be a flop, and people will demand the superior PCI-X. It's a lot easier to move AGP chips to PCI-X than it is PCI-E. "K & S"...

Hi, Could not find a speaker connector on the motherboard and the onboard speaker according to the online manual only makes sounds if the motherboard is not functioning correctly. Is this true that the onboard speaker cannot be used to generate beeps? Never thought about this when ordering this...

Any thoughts on using an xscale processor to do video compression (MJPEG, MPEG2, MPEG4)? I'm particularly interested in ball-park estimates of cycles per pixel (or ms per X by Y frame). Probably using the IPP library. Any info gratefully received. Graham

Hi: Shopping for board, and settled on intel PBZLK platform with 875 chipset.- not sure how much ram to get. Will be running XP Pro. Lot of benchmarks I've seen are only using 512mb and getting great results. Are you seeing a performance increase with a gig of decent ram? If so, what brand is...

Are there still manufacturers that make 286's? I need a few for an older application. Thanks for all the leads. Sam (Please post your replies here, my e-mail is spam proofed.)

Does anyone in the newsgroup know where I can obtain a "standard" CPU retention mechanism? I wish to modify my current MOBO (which has a proprietary ret/mech) to a standard one that will accept my new upgraded processor heatsink and active fan unit with a cooler retention clip. I currently have a...

I built a system with a P4/800 with Hyperthreading technology and was disappointed that according to SiSoftware's Sandra utility, Windows XP Home was not fully utilizing Hyperthreading. The analysis software said that I might as well disable HT in the bios because the OS was holding it back. ...

I have a system that is dual PIII capable. It currently has a 500 Mhz KC0 stepping CPU in it. Will the PIII tolerate having mixed steppings in a dual system or do I need to go find matched CPU's to make this work? TIA

I have a new 865PERL board running XP PRO SP1. I flashed the BIOS to the most recent "P13" January 2004 version. I installed XP PRO slipstreamed with SP1. After which, I installed the Intel chipset driver, and the rest of the Intel drivers, in the correct order. Finally, I fully patched XP with...

Are these interchangeable? I have a system with a PIII/500 and am curious if I can just drop a PIII Xeon in and power up or if the Xeon requires a special MB. TIA

Hello, Tired of playing the overclocking game and needed a fast but STABLE system. So I've just installed this board with XP Pro SP1, 2.4C P4, 2x256MB Crucial DDR400 in Dual Channel mode. Using the onboard graphics, audio and LAN. Updated all the drivers from Intel's site and the flashed the BIOS...
