    underclock PIII 933/133 to PIII 650/100 for fanless laptop ???? Help please!

    Do you think I can replace the desktop PIII 650 with a PIII mobile 650 or 800 ? I have heard before that they are essentially the same processors except that mobile version generates less heat.

    underclock PIII 933/133 to PIII 650/100 for fanless laptop ???? Help please!

    Hi Guys, I have a noname laptop(Netlux). It has a desktop PIII 650/100 cpu in it and it runs pretty happy. But lately, since I often go to libraries and find the quietest place to study, I find myself annoying to others because the fan is fairly loud when it is turned on once a while. It is...

    Passive Cooling on Radeon 8500

    I have been googling the topic for a while, and all I found was that ZM80 doesn't work with ATI 8500DV because the heatsink/fan is glued on GPU. Having a 20dba fan for CPU, 12dba fan for PS, a 20dba fan through a resistor for exhaust and a near silent Seagate harddrive, 8500DV is the noisist...

    new to overclocking, please help. AMD 1800+

    21 for motherboard. Your room is cold. I also have AMD 1800. My room temperature is 28C, motherboard 36C, CPU 46C idle, 55C running. I guess your cooling isn't good.

    AMD CPU beat Intel Xeon for Numerical Application

    Sorry, I checked again. The cpuinfo shows dual Pentium III (Coppermine). So it is not PIII XEON. I thought they were XOENs.

    AMD CPU beat Intel Xeon for Numerical Application

    It was really a surprise when we ( My boss and I) ordered the dual PIII800M workstation which has RDRAM on it. The configurations were clearly listed on the dell web site, and I remember there was no SDRAM option for this system. Later when I tried to find which mother board was in the...

    AMD CPU beat Intel Xeon for Numerical Application

    Yes. The MP1700 is in an 100CPU cluster at University of Toronto. But I compiled it with just "g77 -O3". So it was running on one CPU.

    AMD CPU beat Intel Xeon for Numerical Application

    I got to do something to kill time, so I installed g77 on my AMD 1800 + 512DDR2600 + win2000. I had no intention to use g77 on my computer, but just want to see how fast is my computer. I compiled my code using g77 -O3 on four computers and timed the code. Here is the result. AMD 1800 +...

    Staples free shipping ?!? No minimum?!?

    I thought Staples always had free shipping. No matter how much I spent at Staples, the shipping is always free. Maybe it is because there is a Staples store within 1 mile.

    Hi, I have AIW 8500DV, and KX7-333R. It could display in text mode and low resolution, but when I installed the driver, it didn't work once windows was started. I checked the bios and found that the AGP mode was set to 2X, so I set it to 4X, then it works. The problem I have now is that the...
