Is there a table of Intel chips that lists which instruction set extensions are supported by the chip? Is it even possible to get all of the features on one processors? If not, what are the things that are no longer relevant? I want to make sure that the processor that I use in a new machine has...

Hello, I saw somebody mention on a webforum that volt and empere feels differently... I am not sure if he joking/making it up... or if it's really possible to feel a difference between ampere and volts ?!? So far I have had two experiences with electricity which come to mind: 1. Touching the...

I'm posting this from the local library because last night I attempted to do the "right thing" and run a full system scan using Avast! When I got up it was "finished" except that now it offered the option for a "boot scan". I didn't want to have to go all day without my system while it...

Has anyone here worked with these? I am wondering if it would be more interesting to set up pfSense on an old pc or to buy an old Linksys router and try DD-WRT. I would like to have better real-time awareness of the traffic on my home network....

My niece says her computer will not always start after turning it off. She says sometimes when she turns it on, the computer will not beep and does not start. When she tries again and the computer beeps, it will start. I went to see them yesterday. I opened it up and made sure the memory was...

While trying to make a cassette tape recording, I noticed that the deck's input meters didn't match, even if I fed it a mono signal. There was about 4 dB difference between channels. If I nudged either balance control (the master and the WAV channel's) the other channel abruptly became 4 dB...

I'm using the internal audio controller on the Asus M3A76-CM mobo, not a separate sound card. For many months it worked okay; now the sound levels from the speakers are far too low (maybe by 10 dB) for external signals (like from my FM receiver) applied to Line Input port on the mobo. On the...

Can anyone recommend a free lightweight Anti Virus for Windows XP. This will be for a low spec laptop running XP so I need something that does not use too many resources.

Hi all, I'm looking to get back into PC gaming and want to build my first PC. I'm by no means a PC novice but I've been out of the scene for 7 years or so, so I'm oblivious about current CPUs and Mobos etc. I'm looking to spend around £800 (or maybe a bit more) on the components excluding the...

I suppose that is so Google can easily track our usage of the archive, for data collection.
