Okay, I've read up on what I think is all the marketing hype and all the
half baked article on the net and still they don't explain exactly how

where they...

Robert Casey
Trying to get some more life out of an old system.
Thought I could swap out the older Pentium II 350MHz
FSB 100MHz with a Pentium III 650 FSB 100. Both
slot 1. Either I have a dead Pentium III or there is
something more to it. The machine does not boot
at all, no video, though I hear the usual...

Itanium finally passes Alpha at HP by
Yousuf Khan
Itanium sales have finally surpassed Alpha sales at HP. Looks like it's
mostly in the OpenVMS market though. Most OpenVMS customers are entrenching
around Itanium now. The Alpha-Tru64 market still seems to be volatile.

Using Uniflash to flash Am29C020 EEPROM using a NIC, trying to understand by
heirbrande
Hi,
I'm a newbie but this is interesting!
I've found a neat utility called Uniflash that allows you to either
flash using your motherboard's BIOS socket or using a socket on a PCI
card, like the boot rom socket of an ethernet card.
Apparently, I can Uniflash can get the card to save what is...

More details about 32-way Horus chipset for Opteron by
Yousuf Khan
Looks like Newisys is using a directory-based cache coherency chip to take
Opterons beyond their 4- or 8-way internal limitations. The people who
designed this chipset seem to be the same people who designed IBM's Summit
chipset for Xeon.
There's also some interesting chatter about why IBM chose...

help me get started with Embedded devices using Am29C020 chip on an SBC by
heirbrande
Hi,
I would like some places to start to get the easiest program
programmed into
an AM29C020 EEprom to boot a single board computer.
I imagine seeing DOS or Linux booting up to say "Hello, World".
First I just want to see this thing boot to something else instead of
the WinCE that it boots to.

AMD quietly introduces locally-strained silicon process by

Though this story is about the new 90nm process using strained-silicon
techniques, it's also known that the older 130nm process also uses it. This
is kind of interesting because both IBM and Intel were competing against
each other to...

Why didn't AMD just give us the max die temp for A64?, isn't that where

And what do they mean by "case", the metal heat spreader on top of the
