MTH: More Trouble Here More problems with MTH devices here: This time, it’s Timna, Intel’s successor to Celeron. Not yet. Timna is an attempt to make a processor for really cheap PCs that integrated a memory controller and graphics onto
. . . . yet. The chip itself (with one exception, see below) looks fine, it’s the supporting characters that are the problem. If you’re an overclocker The multiplier on Thunderbirds will be locked just like Intel chips. Unlike the
This isn’t a hardware piece; this is a people piece. Over the years I’ve been strolling around the Web, I’ve found that folks are a bit . . . argumentative. There’s been and are plenty of areas of contention: Intel
Where did you hear that one? Here Do you believe anything? This could be nonsense, but there’s one little item that makes this plausible. AMD has been very quiet about copper-interconnect technology lately. That’s what Dresden is supposed to do.
I’ve waited a long time to write this 🙂 If you’ve been waiting to buy a Coppermine, your wait is just about over. We have enough information from those of you who bought and tested cB0 stepping Coppermines to conclude
Introduction There are three major areas of contention between these two memory systems: The technical aspects The production/cost aspects The political aspects With the exceptions of very low-end PCs and servers, technical factors are the least important in determining which
This is an idea that’s been lurking in the back of my mind for some time: Why not use a peltier as the “radiator” to cut down the bulk and simplify a water cooling rig? So, I finally scrounged together
Those of us that overclock our CPUs talk about stability of an overclocked CPU without defining the term. The usual measure of stability used in overclocking reports is related to BSOD or “hang ups”. Being an old time hardware engineer
This is a quick article to speculate a little bit about AMD’s new challenger to the Celeron, the Duron. We are starting to get details about this chip. What Does It Cost? Initial tentative pricing from Lynn Computers: 600Mhz: $89
Bottom Line If you bought a complete computer system with an 820 board, you are likely to eventually get a mobo replacement with RDRAM. If you just bought the mobo, you are likely to get a refund. ________________________________________________ There been
