I'm about to change my motherboard but keep my existing CPU. It's a 4400+x2. Will I be able to remove the CPU with the heatsink intact, or will I have to remove the heatsink first and then the CPU? (maybe I should remove it and clean and replace the thermal compound anyway?) Thanks, Alex

Hello! I'm looking for information about cost of page fault exception in cycles for modern Opteron processors. Especially I'm interested in number of CPU cycles between invalid address hit and calling an exception handler. I have googled a lot, but without any success.... Could anybody help ?

Hello, I'm not sure that I'm posting to the right group - sorry if I'm wrong. We need to choose hardware platform for our network processing appliance (common 1-2U server, not an embedded device). Currently we're going to use only base hardware, without specific hardware like NPU or FPGA. I have...

In the past I've done lots of embedded flash programming at work, so decided to have a muck about with the flash BIOS in an old Pentium II I've got. The flash is a 1 Mbit (128k x 8) device and I can see a hunk of it in memory at segment F000, but I can't find the other 64K (it's not at E000),...

I have a baffling problem with a computer I built about six months ago, based around an Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard. After a series of problems (see history, below), this computer ran fine for several weeks. Then, a couple of days ago, after several hours of heavy use, when I exited a game,...

Hi all, I'm just about to replace my aging XP1600 system with a nice shiny new shuttle...but...I've not been paying much attention to the processor market and now it's all gone confusing!! I've been using AMDs even since my first K5/400 back in the early 90s so I plan to stick with them. now...

Hi all, Hope someone could shed some light on a strange problem I have in installing XP-Pro. (clean install) Windows reports after copying files that it can not see the HDD. Which is a SATA 120g. I checked this drive on another PC and it has no problems. I installed XP onto it with another PC...

Hello group, i am using a amd opteron multiprocessor (numa) box with hypertransport interface & 8131 pci-X bridge.tunnel. my problem is that the efficiency of dmas on this box is very bad (~45%) & all my dma access (e.g.. mem write) are broken into 4word back-to-back chunks. the same card...

Hi, Would an AMD Turion 64 be a good CPU solution for a HTPC, which obviously has to run cool and quiet, but which also has to run on a fair level of power consumption given that I plan to use is as a file-server for 24/7/365? Regards Anders

Here in Italy the dealers (all fo thme I asked) declare 512kb for 4400/4600 both. And 1Mb only for 4800. In the AMD site I found 1Mb for 4400 and 4800; and 0,5Mb for 4600. Is it possible to have 2 different type of cpu for different markets ? Or there are wrong informations in the dealer...

Sorry for my english .... There is a main board to support 2 cpu AMD Athlon (not Opteron) ? Thanks Andrea

Had a power outage the other day while the computer was running. Now I can't get it to post. The green stand-by light on the motherboard is lit, but absolutely nothing happens when I try to power up (no fans, lights, nothing). Are there any tests I can do to determine if the power supply...

My A64 system has been super reliable for the last year. Recently I discoverd this strange quirk that causes the system to reboot every time. I am running WinXP SP2. One of the programs I use is a terminal emulator called NetTerm (version 4.2.c). If I do a text paste into that program (or...
