Hi all, I hope someone can help. I've been all over the net trying to find a fix for this. At random times (usually in the evening to early morning) both my processors (Dell Inspiron E1505 core 2 duo) will max out at 100% usage (noticed with a sidebar gadget). When checking with the task manager there can be a few different culprits. It varies between these three: - ...

Exactly what the title says. Hopefully this will be the only stop needed to get a great OC with Gigabyte's P45 boards and Penryns. I haven't tried my E8400 yet so if you're using an E8x00 we need your input. Please chime in when you see something missing or incorrect. I appreciate all the input I can get! Help me compile as much info as we can here. My system: Motherboard: Gigabyte ...

Hi, we have a LPAR which has 5 CPUs assigned. Afaik, those Power 5 CPUs have 2 cores each.

Hi everyone. I'm new to AMD processors. I'm looking to purchase the following: - Sempron LE-1100 or Athlon 64 LE-1600 - GA-MA78GM-S2H motherboard Gigabyte states that the board supports 16GB of DDR2. ( http://www.gigabyte.com.au/Pro...ctName=GA-MA78GM- S2H) Now, I know that AMD CPUs have integrated memory controllers and I wonder what the limitations of these controllers are? Can they...

Unofficial roadmaps are always fun, especially when the company is Intel, and the roadmaps in question cover quite a bit of ground. Educated guesses inside, for your Friday reading pleasure. Read More

AMD is planning to launch two low-power desktop CPUs – Athlon 2650e and Athlon X2 3250e – under its UVC (Ultra-Value Client) product line targeting OEMs in November, according to sources at motherboard makers. The Athlon 2650e will have a core frequency of 1.6GHz and TDP f 15W, while the Athlon X2 3250e will have a core frequency of 1.5GHz and TDP of 22W. The two CPUs will be fabbed on a 65nm...

Surely I do. I sold my E7200 for an E1200, sold that because I hated it for an E6300, sold THAT because it wouldn't overclock on my board and got an E2180. Now I have sold it because I got the E5200. I love getting brand new tech, LOVE it.

As someone looking to upgrade their system in the very near term, one of the options I was heavily leaning towards was and athlon 3.0ghz as a cheap option. These results have strongly suggested that would be a waste of time/money to me. Still not sure wether I will go phenom or core2 or neleham but at least ruled one option out. 37 frames is a lot to give away on current games, not ...

Makes plenty of sense, Albert. EQ is performing relatively low grade calculations, Trig, maybe Algebra. Reverb/delay is performing Calculus with multiple delta's a few million times a second. That would make my diodes hurt.

[quote=Reality|Bites;12394047]Nope the test isn't wrong for the 8800Ultra in Mass effect, SLI will only show gains at higher resolutions, When running 1280x1024 or below SLI IS actually slower. FACT. [quote] Are you talking about SLI in general or just mass effect? Because I'm running 8800GT SLI on mass effect at 1440x900 (which is effectively 1280x1024) and when I have my gun ...

quote: If the atom roadmap is unchanged from intel, it looks like they've admitted that IA-64 isn't going to be getting up and walking ever again. I think Intel was pretty clear from day 1 that Atom was not going to be IA-64.

I usually read Guru of 3d, Driver Heaven, Legit Reviews, Hardware Canucks, and The Tech Report. Most of them do graphics reviews, and I've noticed that they're typically not biased. -Indybird
