silicon

Thanks to my discovery of this forum my video server is well on its way to being set-up (Thanks to Neemobeer). My next question has to do with setting up a RAID 5 array. As I understand RAID it provides some level of data redundancy and a higher read speed than a plain old JBOD (spanning)...

Link Removed - Invalid URL Aussie boffins claim to have created a virtually unhackable data transfer. While we know people have made this claim before, we have to admit that this technique strikes us as pretty secure, as your average script kiddie rarely has access to quantum states...

siliconbits writes "At CeBIT 2011, we went around the stands from some of the biggest component manufacturers in the world and asked them a simple question, would you consider bringing out ARM products (barebones, laptops, tablets, motherboards) for Windows 8? The answer was a unanimous yes...

This has turned out to be a heck of a Monday as Intel Corp., the microprocessor giant based in Santa Clara has revealed that it halted production of 6 Series chipsets (codename Cougar Point) due to a design flaw that can affect their SATA performance, significantly. The bug is with one of the...

bought a startech pcisataar1, and the bios will not deploy on the screen. I have hit f4 so many times, at so many points prior to bios "boot up". Support at startech is excellent, but they only says supports win 7--not specific on 64 bit. Literature in startech says only 32-bit. And most of...

Got an interesting one. I have one PC left running Vista that has two sets of spanned volumes as follows: All drives are dynamic. Silicon Image 3124 SATA Controller Card: Port 0 - 1TB Port 1 - 1TB Port 2 - 500GB Port 3 - 500GB Marvell Controller on MB Port 4 - 500GB Port 5 - 500GB...

Full Article @ Microsoft beats Intel, AMD to market with CPU/GPU combo chip

AMD CPU+GPU Fusion by 2010 end Intel has been trying to do it since years, but they have failed in a an ugly fashion with poor graphics performance of Core i3, Core i5. Not just that, Intel has failed at even creating a decent dedicated Graphics processor. Now AMD, with years of strong...

The HP Slate will use Windows 7, but what isn't known is which chip will power the Apple iPad rival from Hewlett-Packard. This is an important question, as there's a world of difference between an Intel Atom processor and, let's say, a low-power Core 2 or Intel's latest-and-greatest chips...

Lynnfield Can Take The Heat, But Should It? The enemy of both stability and longevity, heat changes the characteristics of silicon in a way that eventually makes it unsuitable for use in a logic circuit. Heat damage can sneak up on overclockers quickly, such as the 59 degree Celsius stability...

OK it exploded but it did it A bloke managed to get an Intel Celeron D Processor overclocked from 3.06 GHz to 8.19 GHz. TiN_EOF's overclocking efforts seem to have set a new record for an overclocked processor's speed. Intel Celeron D 347 which contains the NeBurst architecture based in the...

Hey all, I have tried every available searching combination, sites etc.. but i cannot find a solution to my problem.:frown::frown::frown: I have an intel 915p/915g chipset and i really need drivers that would work on windows 7. I think i found them but im not entirely sure.. it was an INF...

Intel have produced an idiots guide to chip manufacture. It's interesting though.... PRESS KIT - From Sand to Silicon: the Making of a Chip

Check out the state of these boards :eek: Some of the first AMD socket G34 motherboards were caught on camera, at the ongoing Computex event, by Inpai. The new socket succeeds the G3MX, which was discontinued in its development process itself. It facilitates upcoming six-core, and...

I am using a old motherboard which doesnt have a native SATA driver on the chipset (I think). When I installed WinXP on this computer I had to either use the press F2 (or was it F7) or something when installation, and have the driver on a floppy driver. Thats why I have a old 20 GB PATA disk...
