    E7501 vs E7505 Anything diff besides AGP?

    See thats what I thought as well, and I did catch that article. As I was going around looking for the 7501, I was about to settle on the 7505 just because of time and I was told by several people that it was worth the wait for various reasons. one person even said that the 7505 was not Dual...

    E7501 vs E7505 Anything diff besides AGP?

    I am in a very big hurry to get a few servers updated, and I would like to get the E7501 Chipset Mobos, but I am being told by just about everyone that they will not be available for another couple weeks. However the E7505 boards are out, and I can purchase them right now. To me the difference...

    Are Dual Non Xeon P4s Coming?

    Thanks for your thoughts! I guess the only reason I wanted the Dual P4 was because it has the newest front side bus and all. Do you happen to know the plans for Xeons road map? Are the going to ramp to a 533 bus? I hope they plan on updating the Xeon chipset, I like the new 7500 but it doesnt...

    Hyper-Threading in WinXP Setup ?!?

    Based on my understanding, Windows XP Pro has a limit of 2 CPUs, however based on my reading, if you have 2 Hyper Threading processors in a system it would look like 4 CPUs. So my question is - what happens? Does windows know the difference between physical and logical CPUs? All experiance on...

    DVD Burner - Buy now, or wait for next gen?

    I have decided after reading a few faqs and revies on the subject that DVD+R/DVD+RW is the way to go for DVD Burning (Thoughts on this welcome as well) but my current concern is if its good to buy the current gen. The technology that is out now has been out for some time, and I am wondering if...

    USB 2.0 disappointment

    Can someone that knows the differences between these two standards share why USB 2 most likely wont outpace FW even in maturity, like what overhead is there compared to FW. On a side topic, I have heard 2 stories about FireWire - one that Apple "invented" it - another that Texas Instruments...

    USB 2.0 disappointment

    Well, I have a 2.0 Ghz P4, and the CPU use was minimal. The NEC chip is extremely large, one would think it would be handling USB instead of just off loading it to the CPU. Oh well

    USB 2.0 disappointment

    I got my HD Enclosure that uses FireWire or USB 2.0 ? I taken these 2 pics from Sandra of performance USB 2.0 - FireWire (I also used HDTach, and WinBench 99 and got the exact same results) For a point of reference: FireWire 400Mbit/sec = 50Meg/Sec (theoretical max) FireWire 480Mbit/sec =...
