WE CAN DO IT BETTER
With the increase of 3D demand seen mostly in gaming software.
Video card manufactures like ATI and NVIDIA are consently trying
first to bring the latest video boad to the public. Hoovering
at 256 MB of ram too fast for most of what computers today are
generally used for. NVIDIA launches their GeForce FX 5900 Ultra
at $499US. ATI launches their Radeon 9800 Pro for the same price.
What is next.

A DVD looks like a
CD, but can hold more data than the 700MB a regular CD can hold.
A DVD can hold data on both sides. However, each side of a DVD
can have two layers. Each layer can store up to 4.7 gigabytes
(GB) or 4.7 billion bytes of data, enough for a 2-hour movie,
with full motion and multi-track stereo sound. Here's the four
types of DVD and their storage capacity: |
Tom's Hardware has tested four
processors to see how they stand-up to a heatsink-fan failure.
Pentium III and 4 processors survived. Athlon (Thunderbird core)
and AthlonMP processors "melted-down" in a 'fraction
of a second.' I should point-out that the heat sink was totally
removed in the tests. The AMD processors with the Palomino core
(e.g, Athlon 4 and AthlonMP) do have a thermal protection feature.
The AthlonMP may have survived if the heatsink was left in place
and the fan cord was pulled instead? That scenario should have
been tested. The likelihood of the heat sink I use (http://duxcw.com/digest/Howto/cpu/socka/2.html)
coming loose is very low. The tests do show, however, that AMD's
thermal design is clearly inferior to Intel's and needs immediate
attention. The very high temperatures that were measured and
the possibilities of a fire hazard and motherboard damage are
worrisome. The article with pictures is at: http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/20010917/index.html |
