I've recently dug up an old socket 7 mobo and a late production p120. The chip does 2x75mhz and would like to try 3x but unforunately the mobo isn't working properly. I would like to find out which pin to pull up/down on the chip itself so i can see if 3x75 will work. I've scoured the net and...

I don't work much with Intels. Can someone tell me if the PC Chips P25G motherboard ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813185061 ) will work with a 2.5ghz Celeron with this on the die: 2.5GHZ/128/400 SL6ZY I know the cpu is rated at 400mhz bus speed and the motherboard...

Take a 915p chipset for example w 800mhz FSB Is there any benefit to using DDR2-533 over DDR2-400 if you install ram in both channels? I'm building a system and from my point of view it seems you'd need a 1066 FSB in order to get any benefit from DDR2-533 ram. Thanks Eric --

I'm thinking of building a thin client linux box. And I was thinking of using a mini-itx motherboard made for a Pentium Mobile chip. What are my options in chips? do they make a Celeron for the Pentium mobile 4? Thanks -Richard

Hi Ive got a e6600 duo core, im getting temps around 48c unloaded, im using the Thermal analysis tool. From what ive seen of other poeple therm tool, they seem to have both sides of this tool working, i get a dark temp and freq on cpu 0 and on the right of this prg its cpu1 its got a temp and...

Hi all ! I was writing a program which is testing the CPU stability. I was developing it way before hyperthreading was introduced. And now that hyperthreading is there and my testing program is almost done, I encounter a problem. I cannot spawn two threads at the same time running my test. My...

Hi, Can anyone guide me to find information on the meaning behind these alphabets, 2.8A, 2.8B, 2.8C and 2.8E? I could not find it in the Intel web site. If 'E' represents the latest/ bug fixed version and 1000KB cache, why is 2.8C (512KB cache) CPU be the most expensive among all in the...

I noticed that some of the newer Intel i7 processors like 990X and some of the newer Xeon like E5690 use a separate memory bus from the I/O bus, and the memory business is run at extremely high speeds. Does support for this new memory bus technology require a special motherboard? -- W

Has anyone updated to BIOS Update P14 for Intel D875PBZ? If so, please let me know if you have had any problems. I want to know before I use it. Thanks in advance.

I bought an Alienware in July 2002 with the 2.26 Ghz Intel D850EMV2 chipset. Can any gamers tell me if there is an appreciable increase in performance with the 3.2 Ghz? Obviously, there is some. But I am curious if it would be worthwhile to upgrade anytime soon. I'm going to move to a 9800...

AMD QuadFX-74 + ATI R600 = ? Intel QuadCore Kentsfield + ATI R600 = ?? AMD QuadFX-74 + CrossFire + ATI R600 = ??? Intel QuadCore Kentsfied + SLI + Nvidia 8800GTX = ???? Intel QuadCore Kentsfield + CrossFire + ATI R600 = ?????

Hi, all. I'm trying to run a report indicating which of our older machines are running Pentium IIs and which run Pentium IIIs. The report I have is from SMS, and all I can see is the current clock speed. I don't see any SMS metrics about CPU class. Is there some table published somewhere, which...

I'm looking to build a new gaming system. My thoughts are that I'm interested in investing in a system that will last me as many years as possible. I'm looking to upgrade from a P4 3.0 GHz processor. Originally, I was interested in a 2.66 GHz quad core extreme. Everything pointed to more = better....

Hello, My motherboard supports intel chips up to 999MHz. Does this mean I can only put 999MHz and lower or can I get away with putting a 1Ghz chip in? Also, generally speaking, would a Celeron running at 900MHz be faster than a P111 running at 866MHz?

Has this group died?

What is the quietest (no water cooled) fan for the Conroe E6750? Will any Socket 478 CPU fan work?

I'd like to get a VERY quiet fan for a P4 2.8Ghz /800MHz CPU. I'm not looking for anything water cooled or using the peltier method since I'm trying to keep the price down to $30. Thermaltake has some really quiet ones for the AMD64 but nothing like them as far as I can see for the P4. There...

I'm trying to reduce the noise in my PC... So far I have done the following: 1) video card heat sink only 2) removed front case fan as it was causing vibration 3) two rear case fans to Antec Stealth @ 12V 4) removed northbridge fan 5) removed hard drive fan 6) CPU fan to Nexus Skieve ~ 19dB

How hot do Quad-Core QX6700 CPUs run? Do they need liquid cooling? -- And loving it, -Q _________________________________________________ (Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me)

Is there a diference?
