How would I know if my P3 700mhz CPU is KATMAI?

Katmai's are 512K cache.

Asus A7N8X Deluxe sound issues

I'm using the built in SoundStorm system, and certain games (So far just Diablo 2 and Raven Shield) occasionally cause a horrible rasping sound. It's very obvious and obviously not right. I tried disabling EAX and 3D Audio in Raven Shield and the problem did not go away. Help!

AMD 500mhz, Geforce 2, 128 megs of ram.. still can't play movie files with out slowing down (update with system specs)

Try some ALi Drivers from their site, it might be that. The P5A is the M1541 chipset. And geez guys, the K6-2 isn't that bad. It's outdated but still useful. The K6-III and K6-III+ are actually pretty good processors (got one at 550 MHz); can play Ut2k3 on it.

Converting one drive into a RAID array

Without losing all of my data on my hard drive, would it be possible to convert it to a RAID 0 array if my second hard drive is blank? Both are 60 GB.

They (Futuremark) released a patch for 3dm2k1 that corrects the problem...I believe they have it on their website.

How do computers multiply numbers?

I got into an arguement about this with a friend. To multiply a number (say, 5 x 4) can computers do direct multiplication with the FPU or do they have to add four 5's together? I know before the days of FPU's the latter was true, but does it still apply today?

are hard drives becoming disposable media?

Hard drives will eventually fail (as with all mechanical devices) but they should last longer then a few years. The majority of my 8 year old WD drives still function although they are slow. You also have to be careful because the older drives may be getting bogged down with Windows crap, and...

why do you choose AMD OR INTEL system?

AMD or Intel, both companies have exceptional products...As long as you don't get shafted with supporting components, you'll be happy either way.

why is my 3d benchmark score so low?

The PC133 is hurting you really badly, the SiS735 chipset isn't the best thing in the world (although it's not bad), and he probably has his video card overclocked.

Once Again, Game PC vs VideoGame Console

An Xbox or PS2 may only be around $200, but then there's controllers to buy, memory cards, remotes, etc, which all add up to be quite a bit. When a controller and memory cards cost $30 a piece, you're looking at around $100 for a multiplayer setup, or even more. Sure, it's still a good deal for...

What brand of laptop is the best?

I need a laptop that will be a good desktop replacement (and preferrably a Radeon 9000). What manufacturer is the best? I have very little experience when it comes to these. So far, I've run across these choices: Dell Inspiron 8200 (P4 1.7G, 128 DDR, Radeon 9K) - $1400 Compaq 915us (Athlon...

desktop Clawhammer to feature 1MB of L2 cache

Glugglug - The first P3's had 512K of external cache, so it did not consume die space. The K6-III, however, had 256K of integrated L2 cache, and was manufactured (initially) on the .25 micron process. Wingznut, was the Pentium Pro's cache integrated onto the die, or just onto the same package...
