Hello all... I currently have an ASUS P4PE MB with a P4 2.53Gz at 533FSB. The motherboard supports HT but not 800 FSB. There has been a price drop on the 3.06/533 which has made it affordable for me. Since my MB already supports it I thought it to be the logical solution. But, would there be a...

I got a new Dell D800 with the Pentium M 1.6 and I'm not that impressed with the speed. I wouldn't be traveling with it too much (I have a little Sony Vaio for that) so I'm wondering if I should go instead with a Pentium 4 at 3.0 and suffer the weight penalty. I'm being told the 1.6 M is barely...

Is anyone running Windows 2000 on an Intel HT chipset/CPU capable mobo with HT enabled? If so, any caveats that I should be aware of (besides the fact that W2K doesn't use HT effectively, if at all)? The reason for my question is that I contemplate getting an Intel HT CPU/mobo replacing my current...

Hi all, I recently had to disable Hyperthreading on my P4-3GHz machine with a Giga-Byte 8KNXP motherboard, because an application I'm using doesn't run properly with Hyperthreading on. However when I disable hyperthreading, my CPU temperature rises about 12 degrees C (this is with NO programs...

Hi, I have read a while ago that Prescott cpu would be available on December 3. It is in less than a month but there is no news about it anymore. Does somebody know something about it? I also heard a while ago that the cpu release may be delayed but it would surprise me because it would not be...

I have such a MoBo, it works great with a P4 2.8. There is only a problem, I cannot have the BIOS flashed, either by the Express Utility (I have a System Error message )or by the old-fashioned DOS procedure (it starts fine, gives final confirmation, but does nothing). Tried both the P10 and the...

I've had many problems in the past with computers that have used AMD processors. Granted, this hasn't always been totally AMD's fault. (I've bought duff motherboards too). So forgetting speed for a moment... are Intel chips any more stable than AMD? What motherboard would you recommend for a intel...

I have a machine that runs a process with 16-bit MSFT Access database on a HP Pavilion about a 500 MHz PII. The HP has a decent size case. I know I should dump the machine but reinstalling the Access 16-bit drivers is a pain. Any chance if dropping in a new quality motherboard & faster CPU? ...

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

It's said that IA-32 uses the TLB to translate linear address to physical address. Who can tell me when a TLB misses, where should the hardware state machine to find the page directory and page tables, in the level 1 data cache or access the main memory directly ? Can you tell me which document has...

For the longest time Intel was the world's largest flashram producer, followed by the Fujitsu & AMD joint venture. Now it looks like Samsung and Toshiba have bypassed both groups and are now #1 & #2. http://www.globetechnology.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20031121.gtflashnov21/BNStory/Technology/ They...

Anyone knows of any good latest motherboard that has 4 ATA ports. I am thinking of building a computer based on P4 2.8 GHz 800 with HT. All motherboards that I come across seems to have either all serial ATA or 2 ATA two SATA. Preferably the brands will have to be of the following. Intel,...

Is there a problem with the celeron 2600? I bought mine 6 weeks ago and since yesterday he gets hottter. BIOS says 30 degrees. After using any application, temperture will raise to 50 degrees within minutes. Above 42 degrees the computer slows down. Starting or shutdown an application will take...

Ottellini figures that Intel will have sold 100,000 Itaniums by year end. That doesn't seem to jive with most estimates, but regardless that's what Intel claims it will sell: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/61/34114.html Yousuf Khan
