Re: Apple is getting off Intel CPU’s ?

Not sure if such a discussion would go over well on these forums. The apple mentality is to throw away and it's only gotten worse. As long as there are options (throw away hardware and upgradeable) then it's all good. Apple was first to get rid of the floppy drive in 1998 but floppies are still …

We used one of those back in the day for a Socket A system. Not the best performer but it was quiet. If you want a really good performer that is super quiet, then you will want to get a heatpipe based cooler and modify it to fit. I have a stock one from a S939 Opteron that I modified for Slot A. …

Some time ago someone posted a link to a website made by some guy in Poland (afair) where he described how to use a Zalman GPU cooler (ZM80-HP or similar) to passively cool a Slot 1 CPU. However, this would probably not work on a Slotket but only on "native" Slot 1 CPUs. Unfortunately I can't find …

Bought this Genoa branded Cirrus Logic VLB card. Nothing too exciting, except that I find interesting how they deviated from the CL reference design which mandates that the main chip should be as close to the VL-Bus connector as possible due to 3" total limit imposed by VL-Bus. This is more on the …

You need to be incredibly stupid with your money to choose the expensive GPU over a complete gaming build. I made a post in this thread early on about how I'd step aside from getting my hands on 3000 series. Nonetheless, I'd urge you to cut yourself out of the dialogue between enthusiasts. You have …

And an ATI fan notices the logo in your avatar ;) Seriously, for a VESA system you don't get much cooler than that!

One of these $8 Rock64 boards just showed up from Amazon. ( Recon Sentinel ) I had ordered it 2 weeks ago but it was out of stock. Apparently it came back in stock at some point. It also came with a case that has a 20x2 LCD blue display, a 5V/3A power supply, and a 16GB SanDisk Ultra Class 10 …
