I would bet, by now, that the majority of the users of this newsgroup are running a system with a 64 bit cpu. Microsoft will ship "Windows Vista in November 06". First for business than in "January 07" for Home users. Quick survey - How long will you wait until you full upgrade or switch to...

The C2D is definitely superior, see e. g. http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.html?modelx=33&model1=471&model2=433&chart=174 Roy Ah, but will Intel's quad-core solution be superior to AMD's? That is the thousand dollar question. I know next year I'll be able to plug a quad-core Barcelona...

To start, sort through your children's closest to find any clothes that they are no longer wearing. You can use these clothes to sell to the resale shop for extra money, or allow your children to swap the clothes for their own selections on their own. By doing so, your children will like they are...

I assume that the back plate for the A64 on the back of the motherboard touches the case, it's okay, right? I know the motherboard itself isn't supposed to or it'll short out, but is the back plate fine if it makes contact with the case?

Last night I put together 4400+ ABit Fatal1ty SLI 4GB DDR400 Extreme Performance MSI 6800 PCI-E16 and it is FAST (much faster than my 3200+ 1M/754). The BIOS had not been updated for dual core so the ABit only saw one cpu that it listed as "AMD Hammer Family - Model Unknown", but flashing went...

Hi All, I had ordered PC3200 memory for the Opteron 242 by mistake instead of the PC2700 memory (246 and above use the 3200). I am still waiting for other parts to come in and was hoping I did not have to exchange the PC3200 memory for the PC2700 as I would have to pay a hefty restocking fee to do...

The reason why I am asking this is because I didn't want to spend the premium for the FX-53 and settled on the Athlon 3200 for my brand new box. Can anyone send me a URL for a comparison ? TIA. Steve

http://www.embedded-masterclass.com Hi, just to let you know that we are running the Embedded Masterclass again this. Thanks to all of you that supported it last year. We are re-running the Embedded Linux workshop, as we were oversubscribed last year - also workshops on GUI development, software...

Does anyone know when amd plans on releasing their next chipset with ddr3? -mike

I just ordered a 3200+ and an MSI (K8T NEO-FIS2R) board and now I'm wondering what the beta 64 bit windows XP is like. Is it buggy and is it worth using now? I downloaded the iso for 64 bit XP, used Nero to burn to a cd but am I asking for problems? Thanks in advance. Roadkill

If I load a 64 bit Linux, such as SUSE, will it run both existing 32 bit and new 64 bit binaries. Not every program I would like to use is available in source. Most but not all. The same question for the beta XP 86-64 release. Normal Win32 OS's did a good job running 16 programs, I am just...

Is there a good recommendation for a AMD cpu (Duo Core pls) with a motherboard that will, oh I suppose, some SATA and USB 2.0 of course. Really the motherboard isn't really (right now) the consideration, I'm just looking to bridge from an old K6-2 setup to something a little more modern w/o...

Hello, I have a dilemma on my next computer upgrade since my Athlon 64 3200+ (754) is getting slow, especially for the newest (e.g., Oblivion, Company of Heroes, etc.) and upcoming games (e.g., Crysis, C&C3, etc.). I do non-gaming too like watch HDTV shows, DVDs, videos, listen to music, Web...

Hi! I chanced upon this newsgroup while I was desperately looking for help in using my 64-bit commercial Fujitsu Siemens computer, and I must say that you folks really know your computers and I've received a lot of help and encouragement. I've also recently found another Internet newsgroup...

Anybody know where I can get a copy of these to stick on a floppy disk? I want to give the xp 64 trial a go but need these Raid drivers for the install. Thanks B

I'm currently running a new built system Athlon 64 3500 (venice) Asus A8N-E nForce 4 ultra mobo Kingston HyperX PC3200 512Mb and a MSI GeForce 6600 256Mb vidieo card (PCI-E 16x) Question: How does the Xbox GPU (bought X-mas 2005) compare

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/10/28/BUM4SSC18.DTL Q: One knock against the Wii and the DS is that they're not as high- powered as their rivals. I'm wondering how concerned you are about that and how you plan to address that. Will there be improvements to the existing...

Hi all, I plan on ordering either the AMD X2 4200 or the 4400. There is about a 100 dollar difference in the price at Newegg, obviously due to the 4400 having the larger L2 cache ( 1mb per core versus 512 kb per core on the 4200). Both are listed as 2.2 ghz processors. I use my computer mainly...
