After trying a new disk, a fresh W2K install, a new AGP card, switching RAM modules around, (nothing else except MB and CPU), and completely disassembling and re assembling the computer, it looks like my D865PERL is flaky. First it was silent, complete lockups after S3 wakeup, and now also when...

Intel spent $1,000,000,000.00, That is ONE BILLION dollars in Inda and layed off thousands of workers here. Intel just decided to spend ANOTHER Billion in China to cost more jobs in the USA. BUT, AMD is building plants IN THE USA.

Is there a diference?

I'm building my dream machine (as much as I can afford) and hit a new error message for me. The system is Intel mobo D975XBX2KR w/ Core 2 Duo E6600 and video card Matrox Parahelia APVe which is a 128MB PCIe x16. It copies the XP pro cd without a problem (horizontal bar at bottom goes to 100%) and...

I am pretty dissapointed :) I was just planning to purchase new PC for under or around 1000 Euros so if Presscot is so bad - what to do? Can I buy new PC based on Intel now or what? I am open to suggestions - it will be too long to wait to Intel 64 launch and drop prices? I need some answers...

The new microprocessors will be based on the Prescott 2M core that brings 2MB L2 cache, Intel EM64T, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST) as well as Execute Disable Bit (EDB) capability. The chips will be clocked at 3.20GHz, 3.40GHz, 3.60GHz and 3.80GHz and will be intended for...

Hi everyone! Who can tell me what normal and/or acceptable temperatures are for a Intel Pentium 4 550 3.4 GHz Boxed Socket LGA775, 1MB cache ? Mine currently idles at 52C, in my Shuttle SB81P barebone. According to Shuttle this is a normal value. I haven't done full/sustained load-testing yet,...

First bunch of Nocona benchs have come out, this one from GamePC: http://www.gamepc.com/labs/view_content.asp?id=noconaopteron&page=1&cookie%5Ftest=1 Looks like the Nocona isn't a bad performer, seems to be better at workstation-style applications than at server-style applications. Yousuf...

I'm going to build a computer for someone, but before I do so, I'd like to be clear on a few things. - what's on the horizon for Intel? I've heard something new (or just faster) will be released in November? What, exactly? Would it be better to wait until November for whatever's coming? - I'm...

Well, it's interesting how we start talking about a subject, and within days there's something new to announce about it. In this case why Nvidia doesn't do a Pentium 4 chipset?

Real men use AMD !

I am building my first PC. It will be used for photography and video editing and other general uses -- maybe *some* gaming. I have chosen (tentatively) an ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe (i865PE) motheroard. Regarding CPU's, my impression is that the 3.0 GHz Northwood consumes much more power than the 2.8...

I know that WinXP Pro is needed for multiprocessor support, but what about dual core? Is XP Pro required for dual core processors (e.g. AMD Athlon 64 X2) or will XP Home support both cores? Thanks W

Well we'll never see the likes of these webpages again. Better view it fast, I have a feeling that they will be expiring pretty soon. :-) Apple - Power Mac G5 - Performance "The PowerPC G5 out-shoots the Pentium 4 in a battery of tests. But it's in the rough-and-tumble of real-world performance...

I am using onboard video, Intel 82845G, on a Dell P4. I cannot figure out how to get it to run in any 16:9 Aspect Ratios. I'm considering getting a flat screen that runs at 1366 x 768, but think it may be a waste of money if I can't support it. Unfortunately, it is onboard with no AGP slot, so I...

Intel has usually gone with the attitude that the competition doesn't exist, and never names the competition specifically. Looks like it's trying to get some buzz going for Itanium now. Intel names top Itanium target: IBM | CNET...

Can anyone tell me is there a difference between m-atx and micro atx? Can anyone recomend a desktop motherboard to upgrade my IBM Aptiva (micro-atx)? I want to install my existing IBM 3.3V 256MB NP PC133 SDRAM DIMM and IBM 3.3V 64MB NP PC133 SDRAM DIMM in two slots, and it should have an agp slot...

HP has sold off its chip design team to Intel. It is now Intel's complete responsibility to develop Itanium. EE Times -Intel, HP part ways in Itanium 64-bit processor pact http://www.eetimes.com/semi/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=55800328 Yousuf Khan

Intel is saying that it will put the 64-bit extensions into all of its desktop processors by 2005, including Celeron. This 2005 date coincides with the date that Microsoft is expected to release Windows for x64! Of course that's just a coincidence, Microsoft couldn't possibly be giving Intel...
