I think that the term 'fully utilize' is very vague. Many so called 'desktop' mobos may have limitations in 'feeding a dual core all the data that it requires to be 'fully utilized'. Even the OS may have 'issues' actually does have issues with dual cores. Its pretty easy to load up a couple of...
just to get this right, the HSF has the compound applied, not the cpu. the PCTC (phase change thermal compound) is often protected by a thin layer of plastic film which must be removed before installing.
30% increase in performance is just not realistic. If you are lucky you will see 15% improvement. The 'smoking' probably came from a re-install of windows, and a reformat.
Does the name TORNADO give you any hint ?? Why not try 12volts from the first boot? Also, what is the airflow like in your case. Exhaust fans, getting rid of the heated air are very important, you seem to be stirring up the hot air in your case rather than moving it out the back. Intake fans on...
Its absolute nonsense to say that Intel and AMD can't figure out how to make faster cpu's. They can, do you have $5K to spend on a cpu. The issue is bang for the $. Multi-cores are very useful. Many applications simply have no use or benefit from from multi-threading. The application has to be...
Ok, lets get a few things straight here. You don't need a HDD or a floppy for the system to finish POST (Power On Self Test).
You won't get beeps (normally) without the case speaker connected (the plug should be about a half an inch wide with space for four pins, only the outside 2 red and...
I repeat my quote from Judge Judy on a Larry King interview 'Europe has a school for judges , maybe we should look into that idea'. I would hope that this was a ploy to get Sandra Day O'Connor to stay on. Not likely but this nomination has to be the most stupid thing that George has done. I...
George hasn't forgotten Social Security, did you hear him talking about it just the other day. He needs congressional support which he don't have right now.
I don't entirely agree with the premise. If you can affinity the operating system to one core and other low priortity apps, and keep your mega single threaded app in the other core, without OS interference then you will still gain. OS overheand can be quite a bit. Mixing processor speeds is...
The old and the new don't bother me, but I also read the books that were deliberately left out. I have some issues with the KJ version, some 1600 years later. I reallt like the bible translation by George M Lamsa, the Aramaic of the Peshitta. Since Aramaic was the spoken language of Jesus, I...
