Can someone tell me whether an Pentium 4, 2.8ghz chip with hyperthreading, FSB of 800mhz and DDR 400 will equal or surpass in performance of a dual XEON 2.4ghz, 533FSB, and DDR266?

Hello all, I've been pulling my hair for 3 hours over this problem, so I thought I'd ask in here, and see if people have had a similar problem. I have an oldish (bought 08/2001) Socket A motherboard (ASUS A7V133-C). The chipset fan was starting to whine after collecting dust for 6 months (since I...

It looks like AMD could've saved themselves a lot of embarrassment by simply making the secondary cores in each module look like an Intel Hyperthreading thread rather than simply as another full core. A quick look at Bulldozer thread scheduling - The Tech Report - Page...

They are talking about a chip coming out in 2007-2008. It will be designed in Bangalore India. It's current Pentium-M mobile chip was designed in Isreal. Start of a new trend for Intel? http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20040501121856.html Yousuf Khan -- Humans: contact me at ykhan at...

Hello. I am planning to upgrade my computers again since I need to replace my very old single core Athlon 64 3200 Debian/Linux system (too slow to do much!) with my current Intel quad-core Q8200 system. I am trying to figure out if I should get Intel or AMD for my next upgrade for my old...

I read in a gaming forum the other day that games do not use more than 4 cores because of diminishing returns. Reminded me when I was in geophysics, and companies starting making clusters out of Pentium IIIs about 2000. They had a few algorithms that needed at least 10x the megaflops than the...

Intel is suppose to lower its prices. So has it been lowered?

Why backdoor just one brand of compiler (since there are several), when you could backdoor the architecture? I'm pretty sure there is a special sequence of intel instructions which open the unicorn gate, and pipe a copy of all memory writes to NSA's server.

Hi all, Is there a list of all the currently being produced P4, Celeron, Xeon cpus and historically with the start production and the ending production? Will 800fsb P4's work correctly in a 533fsb motherboards? thanks, charles....

I have a DH57dd, core i3 system running Wxp. It has 4GB RAM and a 1TB disk that is more than 95% empty. It takes at least 50% longer to boot and to wake from S3 standby than my old 865PERL, P4 2.8GHz system running the same OS. The old one has 2GB Ram and a 500GB disk that is 90% empty. Is this...

I thought I had read where the tablets Intel was subsidizing were 8 inches and smaller. This article says it was 10 inches and smaller, but might change that now to 12". Which basically means all tablets (are there any that are larger?). I just recently found out that there were 7 or 8" bay...

Building a computer from scratch. It'll be built for someone who'll use it for alot of things, but tilted in the 'gaming' direction. Should whether the processor is 64-bit or 32-bit matter? If not, when? If so, how so? In other words, should I go AMD or Intel? I understand AMD is slightly faster...
