I'm shopping for my first laptop and I've got a few questions. If any of you can answer any of these I would appreciate it. I'm not looking for a gaming machine, but a desktop replacement machine that might do a little video editing and various multimedia tasks. Ok, I see that Dell...

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...

I'm looking into building an Athlon 64 system, probably around the 2800+ or 3000+. I've read on Tom's Hardware (http://www20.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20040602/) that socket-754 Athlon 64s do not (officially at least) support two double-sided DIMMs at DDR400 speeds. I already have a pair of...

Hi, I installed the XP SP2 last weekend and I just now noticed that Cool'n'Quiet doesn't work after the SP2 update. (Noticed because video playback was jerky...) I tried to uninstall and reinstall CPU driver... but no help. I checked the power management settings... and they are set to minimal...

I'm looking into upgrading my CPU, motherboard and memory sometime in September. My target use is first person shooter games like Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Doom3, Half Life2 (if it ever ships), Far Cry, Unreal Tournament 2004 and the like. I play on-line if the game supports on-line play (3mbps...

Does anyone have any idea why the same cpu would work fine in a VIA chipset socket 754 motherboard (ASUS) but not even get to POST in one using NVIDIA 250 (Gigabyte K8 Triton)? Just wondering, because the cpu in my new home-built computer apparently failed, took it to a local workshop who sent it...

***Big News*** Intel's Itanium chips have hit the $14 billion in revenue mark!! However there was a small one-time over-optimism charge of $13.4bn. BUT THIS STUFF IS INCREDIBLE, IT'S EXACTLY AS IDC HAD PREDICTED ALL ALONG!! That's an amazing 5,665 server units, this past quarter!!! PS- Oh, and...

With the recent posting of many new message threads, this has gotten completely out of hand. Please do not respond to this or any other off topic message. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm

What is the recommendation of running dual boot on these two Operating Systems? I read somewhere that the 64-bit NTLDR does not work with regular XP. I'm guessing I need to install XP Pro first and then XP x64 to a different partition? Eric

Looks like SiS is finally getting some recognition for its chipsets. HP is going use them with all of their A64 PCs. http://news.designtechnica.com/article5306.html Yousuf Khan -- Humans: contact me at ykhan at rogers dot com Spambots: just reply to this email address ;-)

It looks like the retail channel likes AMD. I have a feeling that Intel is running low on cash these days, and it can't afford to advertise as much as it once did. http://www.techweb.com/wire/networking/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=46802761 Yousuf Khan -- Humans: contact me at ykhan at rogers dot...

Since this newsgroup is devoted to the A64 chips and architecture, I was wondering if anyone knows of a good FAQ covering how to overclock the A64 and the differences between ocing them and Athlon XPs. -- "All we had were our dreams, and that's all we needed to be free" *To reply, replace...

I have an AMD Athlon64 system that I just installed a window kit in and some blue cathodes to light it up. My problem is that it seems like every set of cathodes I put in there die very quickly. What will end up happening is their inverters will short out and my system will become un-bootable...

The range of options in every area is superb, and no one will feel that they are left short with this DFI board. For best performance, you should...

Is there a difference ,overclocking wise, between the Newcastle and Clawhammer? Does one overclock better then the other? Does Clawhammer have better performance? What's the scoop on the differences between these two CPU's? Clawhammer: AMD Part number: ADA3400BOX Co Clawhammer
