I have a friend who recently has been trying to put together a computer. I went over there yesterday to build it for him, because this was his second CPU and second motherboard. Long story short something is not working but I dont have anything to test with. I'm looking for someone with an AM2 board nice enough to test a CPU and some DDR2 ram. Just trying to narrow it down for him so he knows what's wrong. Reply or AIM me, same name I use here.

Intel's Core 2 Quadro Kentsfield: Four Cores on a Rampage "More important is power consumption: Intel wants to stay within the 130-W power envelope with the quadruple Core 2 Quadro processor. The 130-W figure was almost achieved by the Pentium Extreme Edition 965 and the Core 2 Quadro processor does it again; but it packs a total of four CPU cores on the chip now. The four cores are not located on a single piece of silicon, but the two Core 2 chips are placed next to each other inside the processor package. Consequently, the transistor count doubles to an impressive 582 million." Q&A with AMD : AMD's Dr. Gaith Kadir "Next, we spoke about upcoming AM…

Can SLI in a Notebook Beat Desktop Graphics? 'Desktop replacements not only have sufficient CPU capabilities, but offer features such as large displays, RAID arrays and even dual-graphics solutions. Desktop replacement systems usually come equipped with either a desktop processor or the most powerful mobile processor. Armed with an AMD Mobile Turion 64 ML-44 running at 2.4 GHz and 2 GB of memory, the Battalion is ready for anything that comes its way. As we mentioned earlier, the system has dual Nvidia GeForce Go 7800GTX graphics processors connected together via SLI to give the blistering performance for gaming on the road. The Battalion has many other components…

I guess this is relevant here. I wrote a batch file to shutdown unnecessary processes and free up system resources from idle processes. I use it when playing games and a few others have asked me for it, so I thought I'd post it up for anyone that wants it. Copy the code into a text file. Rename the file taskkill.cmd. Open a CMD prompt and CD to the location you saved the file. Run it as Taskkill -list and it will generate a list of your currently running processes at the bottom of the batch file. Open it and remove any system processes or anything you want to leave running. Afterwards, just run it by double clicking the file or directly from the cmd prompt as taskkill. At…

PurSuiT gets credit for this one.... AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Utilities & Updates "The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction. Applications that rely on RDTSC do not benefit from the logic in the operating system to properly account for the affect of power management mechanisms on the rate at which a processor core's Time Stamp Counter (TSC) is incremented. The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer helps to correct the resulting video performance effects or other incorrect timing effec…

Battlefield 2142 Community Day "It was with some surprise then that the 30 odd high-spec machines (AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Dual Core Processor, 2GB RAM, top-end Nvidia graphics cards) were in fact running Conquest, something all Battlefield 2 players are familiar with (capture areas to gain control of the map and reduce the amount of tickets the enemy has. First team to 0 tickets or with least tickets when time runs out loses.)"

XFX GeForce 7900 GS 480M Extreme "The GeForce 7900 GS has the same clock frequencies as the 7900 GT, 450 MHz GPU core frequency and 660 MHz (1.32 GHz) memory frequency. Where it differs is in the pipeline layout. The GeForce 7900 GS has 20 pixel shader units versus the 24 of the 7900 GT. That cuts the fillrate down from 10.8 GPixels/sec to 9 GPixels/sec. The vertex shader units have also taken a slight reduction to 7 on the GeForce 7900 GS versus 8 on the 7900 GT. Raster Operator count is the same at 16 with both GPUs. Standard with this GPU will be 256MB of GDDR3. The power consumption is quoted as pulling 82W under max power." Fall '06 NVIDIA GPU Refresh - Part …

This here's an idea I had just now that is put in use but isn't really maximised to what it could be. Basicly u got your group of friends who randomly decide to have a tiny lan of like 3-4 guys at any random time of random time of day. They just call eachother up and say hey you wanna come over and lan? yay or nay. So I say we make a list for those who want to be part of that tiny lan on short notice. I know some people can't or just don't like the idea. For those people. Just don't sign up. But for those that do here you go. You just need to post the most basic information. #1. Name that you can call you when they answer the phone and not have the wrong …

Google developing eavesdropping software ??? The idea is to use the existing PC microphone to listen to whatever is heard in the background, be it music, your phone going off or the TV turned down. The PC then identifies it, using fingerprinting, and then shows you relevant content, whether that's adverts or search results, or a chat room on the subject.
