I want to use 2 GB RAM in a D865PERL for use with Photoshop, but can't get it to work reliably with more than 1.5GB RAM on motherboard. System: Intel D865PERLK (w/firewire and 1000mb lan) motherboard P4 2.6 MHz CPU 4 sticks of Micron 512mb DDR400 (PC3200) RAM Video ATI 9600 Pro Antec Sonata case...

``The cpu is a group of operators; unless they're coordinated, nonsense happens; the coordination is based in the cpu internal clock.'' In non-technical language, does this sound true? I'm looking for a bit more information on how the implementation takes place; who sends signals to who; maybe...

I searched for a more appropriate newsgroup for this question but couldn't find any so I hope it is appropriate for this forum. Please suggest an alternative if it isn't. I am building my first Intel-based PC and am having a spot of bother with the system fan. The case has a single fan at the...

Hi, This is regarding a job opportunity with one of the premium client in Bangalore Dexcel Electronics Designs (http://www.dexceldesigns.com) Dexcel Electronics Designs, an embedded systems design and R&D house was incubated in the year 2000. It was started with a vision to be a leading provider...

First, hyperthreading. I recently read in a PC mag and on a laptop makers website that Hyperthreading only works for WindowsXP. I somehow doubt the truth of that. Isn't Windows2000 able to handle hyperthreading? (and are there not some flavors of linux/unix able to as well?) And, I'm wondering...

Wow - someone still has this board! Great! Let me try this one... The on board sound function has failed - kinda I can use the "SoundMax" software to configure a "4 way stereo" speaker system and then the "rear pair" of speakers will provide sound. My DVD player software will now provide audio...

Does Don Knuth know anything about computing? From http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1193856&rll=1: ------------------------------------------------------------------- ... Andrew: Vendors of multicore processors have expressed frustration at the difficulty of moving developers to...

Here is a site that was definitely worth checking out at http://www.gabbyinc.biz!

Ace's Hardware has come up with a bit more detail about what's going to happen in the Prescott. The L1 D-cache has been doubled to 16K. L2 doubled to 1MB. Now there's a dedicated integer multiplier for IMUL latency improvements. SSE3, of course. Larger WC buffers for bursting data to an AGP video...

Intel has some investment in getting this new CPU cooler on the market, so I guess this is on-topic in this group. Actually interesting, I have to wonder if case cooling fans could also be made with no moving parts to fail. http://www.tfot.info/content/view/110/59/ -- Bill Davidsen...

I follow the readme.htm in c:\Program Files\Intel\IPP41\ia32_itanium\tools\customdll\ and I only changed the tools.ini as following: CL_ENV=3DOFF #Original is ON MSVCDir=3DC:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7 DllName=3Djiing TestName=3Dipptwo_jiing and when I change to the...

It's said that IA-32 uses the TLB to translate linear address to physical address. Who can tell me when a TLB misses, where should the hardware state machine to find the page directory and page tables, in the level 1 data cache or access the main memory directly ? Can you tell me which document has...

I've got a small fragment of code I need to optimize. It adds an integer to another integer, modulo a third integer. In C, this operation is: int i, j, k, l; i = (j + k) % l; I know that in the past integer division was a very expensive operation,

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...

But I'm posting it, anyway, because throwing Citrix in there makes it just marginally credible. The thin-client future--the one that *is* coming--will benefit (drum roll...) *Microsoft*, and Apple is moving to Intel to prepare for this brave new...

754-pin Athlon 64 mobos can be had for as little as $80. Based on SiS 755 chipset. This chipset seems to a little pocket rocket, apparently better at i/o than its rivals. Combine with a $200 A64 3000+, and things are getting affordable. One of first SIS based mobos is the ECS-755. These SIS...

I would really appreciate help in this matter: My computer system is currently the main heatsource in my house and that what surely not my intention when I bought it. I recently bought a new system consisting mainly of: An Abit AI7 motherboard An Intel Prescott 3.2 Ghz cpu And last but not least a...

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me with this problem. I have an ABIT IS7 motherboard with an Intel P4 2.8c processor. Whenever I try to come out of Standby the computer reboots. On the S3 (powered down) standby mode there is no sign of what is causing this reboot, but on S1, right after moving the...

Hello everyone! I wondered why cpuid was serialization instruction like RSM and many other. Indeed, I don't understand why it requires previouses instruction to be completed. Thank you :)
