That paper is an excellent find, dresdenboy ^_^, you should take it for fact because it lines up with what I remember.
I can explain some of the technical manual issues. Quite simply what happens is that the documentation group (separate from design) starts off from the GH document, passes it...
Greyhound was the engineering code name for AMD's Family 10h processors. Not K10. This was something an overzealous marketing person used in an offhand interview which then got picked up by everything on the planet.
Bulldozer is Bulldozer.
Let me add this whole K10 nonsense has been...
Can I ask where are you getting this idea from? Keep in mind this is a vastly simplified overview of the microarchitecture; and not a full disclosure; I imagine that will be for sometime later. Let me add that just because it's not there doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I think you will be...
Of course there is going to be a difference between using 32-bit and 64-bit on a Core 2 Duo. In 64-bit mode, branch fusing is disabled in Conroe, along with some other performance optimizations. Probably not 10% worth, but it's still a difference.
Also, you assume that driver support is...
Michael Dell's quote got changed to:
""If you look at floating point instructions, Barcelona is about 30 percent faster than Clovertown. However, if you look at integer instructions, Clovertown is about 30 percent faster than Barcelona," Dell said."
Okay, that 360 deal we posted about this morning turned out to have been a dud. Not because the deal wasn't legit. Unbelievably, it was... all part of Fry's big anniversary sale. But they sold out of them almost instantaneously.
We would have left it there. We're ineffably lazy. Not so our...
Is that on an nForce board? I had random restart problems as well until I disabled activearmor - and uninstalled all of nvidia's bloatware for ethernet. Fixed it.
SSE3 only benefits a few things:
Scientific applications where complex arithmetic is present
SIMD calculations where horizontal adding is nice to have.
Hyperthreading - 2 instructions for reducing synchronization overhead
That's it. SSE3 is pretty much a blue crystals type invention.
Going to have to burst some bubbles here. Read the description of the test:

The point of our method is in arranging a get-together of a lot of monsters in the same room and measuring the fps rate with the Fraps utility. Again, we returned to the Central Server Banks on...
I've tried 2 different types of store-bought memory (CompUSA - PNY "Optima" DDR333, and this generic Centon memory) - both 512 MB sticks to replace the 256 external. The PNY would crash my machine sometime after bootup in Windows, while the Centon memory would not boot at all.
What have people...
Concur with the Panasonic Toughbook - these are really rugged laptops that we in the military use extensively; they're more expensive but they're very survivable.
Yes, the m6805 flies. I was shocked at how good it was. For instance, with all my tweaked out settings (oc'd to 2000 mhz, 413/230 gpu) it put out 11000 3dmark01's and 3025 3dmark03's. My desktop machine is a dual opteron 246 (2.0 ghz) with a geforce fx 5900 ultra and that machine only puts out...
The issue with running more than 2 sticks at once could be solved via BIOS by relaxing some of the memory timings; unfortunately this functionality is not exposed to us.
What we can fix is that 800 mhz issue. Quite simple really - download the powernow update from AMD and install in win2000...
I have my m6805 at 2000 mhz and 413/230 for the vid card. Rock solid and stable. The way I tested for maximum AGP stability was to set the multiplier lower than 9x (all the lower multipliers are unlocked) and then cranked it up until 3dmark03 wouldn't run anymore (my clock speed stayed below...
For those having trouble with the wireless connection, there is something you might have to do - I had to do it for mine before my laptop would even see the wireless network - during bootup, quickly hit F2 to get into the BIOS. Under one of the options, there will be an option for turning you...
