I am thinking about upgrading my amd processor from a dual-core 2.0GHz to a quad-core 2.3 GHz processor and i was wondering if the AM2 socket that i already have will work with a AM2+ that the processor has.P.S. also, if there are any better deals that you know please comment

Hello I need someone to check my work I want to know reason that I have explained in my post is right or wrong ? Q1. If data is 4 bit ,which alu you should have to use A . 2 bit ALU B . 4 bit ALU C 6 bit ALU D 8 bit ALU my answer . (B) 4 bit alu reason : data is 4 so I used 4 bit alu . 4 bit alu deal with 4 bit number like 0001+1010 Q2. If data is 8 bit,which data memory you should have to use ? A. data memory 8 x 256 B. data memory 4x16 my answer .A data memory 8 x 256 reason : If data is 8 bit , ALU is 8 bit so data memory should be 8 x 256 Q3.If instruction is 4 bit ,which program memory you should have to use ? A. program memory should be 4x16 bit B. program memory should be 8x256 bit C program memory should be 6x64 bit my answer A . program memory should be 4x16 bit reason : Instruction are 4 bits so program memory should be 4x16 bit Q 4. If we have 4 to 16 Instruction decoder , how many instruction it can decode ? A. 8 instruction B. 16 instruction C. 256 instruction my answer (B) 16 instruction reason : 4 control word can decode 16 instruction Q5. Why Program counter is 4 bit ? A. 4 bit program counter can address 16 instructions B 8 bit program counter can address 256 instructions C.16bit 4 bit program counter can address around 6500 instructions my answer. A because 4 bit program counter can address 16 instructions please checkout my work ?

Hello everyone. I'm new here and I have a quick question about processors. I'm working on a project that requires a device to take inputs piezo buzzer elements and trigger an LED. The catch is I need a programmable chip so I can have pre-set outputs on the LEDs. I'd need something that can be rewritten (like an EEPROM) I've been thinking abuot using a PIC or a BASIC Stamp but I'd though I'd do a bit of research first.

Any body know what sort of motor you would use to make something like this?

Hi all, I've spent a great deal of time reading up on microprocessors so I can get involved with such an activity. However, I have found great difficulties in finding a high performance RISC processor. Being in the UK, I can only find one or two providers with a limited range of processors, and that isn't just RISC ones. I also get a little swamped looking at manufacturer's websites. It's very strange they all seem to boast an architecture with XYZ Mhz of max performance, but on their spec tables there is no processor with this maxed figure shown and a lot of entries /fields are empty making 99% of their processors unknown in spec. Highly annoy and useless. I'm not looking for anything special in regards to added features to the processor (I find most of it unnecessary and as a means to charge more money, apologizes for my ignorance in this;)), just a basic chip that can process a lot (thus higher Mhz) is all im after. lower power consumption are a great/big bonus for me though. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be great. I've found many processors (for example, arm cortex-a by sounds of things is perfect: Over 1ghz of performance. Only problem no one seems to be making them; to the public like us anyway. Looking for microcontrollers seems to be quite a difficult task, if anyone has resources, sites or retailer /suppliers (UK for me, but feel free to post other countries for other user's benefit) or anything that would help it would be appreciated. I dont want you to do my dirty work, just guide me in the right direction. On another subject, at least with arm processors I've read the speed rating (for example 500mhz), if you x3 it'll give the "real speed" due to that 3 phase of processing it does. making 500mhz more like <1.5ghz. of course, it isn't exactly x3, the point im making the processing performance is better due to the 3 phases. thank you for your time.

Can i cut a hole in the side of my food processor bucket………. IF YOU KNOW RE CUTTING PLASTIC YOU WILL HELP ME LOTS essentually i use it for slicing a crap load of veges and ideally i would like to make a hole in side of the 3.4l plastic bucket/container so when its full i can slide my hand in and remove the carrot etc………. I DONT need to keep vege in there when cutting in fact if they came straight out the whole its benifit the blade/spinning/sharp thing is at the top near where u put in the vege so no risks of getting cut see image http://imageshack.com/a/img923/182/JNuvrh.png

Hiya! Well, looks like I got an old laptop, but the thing is.... it doesn't work. Dell Inspiron 8500/8600 series. It won't boot into Windows XP except in safe mode. Anyway, I was thinking of putting Ubuntu 10.10 on it and remaking it into an actually usable machine. Good idea, right?  Well.... the thing is I don't know much about these older processors, so my question is: Are any of these 64 bit processors? Or are they just 32 bit? Intel® Mobile Pentium® 4M Intel® Mobile Pentium® M I want to install the appropriate type of Ubuntu 10.10, 32 bit or 64 bit. Its just that the processor needs to be compatible... Thanks!

Hi! My name is Kerry. I have an HP Pavilion a1410n PC. Where can I get a free manual for my (Asus A8n-LA GeForce 6150 LE Socket 939 mATX motherboard ? I'm trying to replace my ( AMD Athlon 64 3800 ) processor with a ( AMD Athlon 64 x2 4800 ) processor, and need to know if there are any jumpers I need to change. Thanks for your help in this matter. Sincerely, KC2Z

I am using a dell inspiron 640m (i call it lappy dino) few years old now the processor is an intel core duo T5200 i use my laptop as a desktop because its screen is fried, meaning it never moves and uses an external monitor i have 3 questions here 1) i have been forcing my fan to run at maximum + a cooling pad blowing air towards the intake vent,   so far my cpu temp dropped from 60-70 Celsius to a nice 45 degrees the question is, would         running my fan at max damage anything or itself? 2)is there any risk of making your cpu "TOO COOL" and how will it hurt the computer 3) would it be better to remove the   heat sink plastic cover like in the picture  ,just the heat sink cover(the picture shows all cover removed) and not the heat sink itself then blow air directly at it with my cooling pad  

I want to know how voltage is distributed along all the transistors present in processor and what are cores of processor a detailed description will be appreciated thanks

Everytime I click publish it says failed dont understand your request.

I have made sample code for 4 bit ALU and 3 to 8 decoder to make 4 bit processor . as designer we can design anything so I have started to design processor with two function ALU and decoder 4 bit alu Module alu (a,b,s0,s1,s2 f); Input a,b,s0,s1,s2; Output f; Reg [3:0]; Always @(s0,s1,s2); Begian Case (s0,s1,s2); 3b’000 :f=(a&b;); 3b’001:f= (a|b); 3b’010 :f= ~(a&b;); 3b’011 :f= ~ (a|b); 3b’100:f=(a^b); 3b’101: f=(a*b); 3b’110: f=(a+b); 3b’111:f=(a-b ); End case End module 3to 8 decoder Module decoder (a2,a1,a0, d7,d6,d5,d4,d3,d2,d1,d0); Input a2,a1,a0; Output d7,d6,d5,d4,d3,d2,d1,d0; Wire [7:0]; Always @(a2,a1,a0); Begin Case (a2,a1,a0); 4’b000:( d7,d6,d5,d4,d3,d2,d1,d0)=00000001; 4’001: (d7,d6,d5,d4,d3,d2,d1,d0)=00000010; 4’b010: (d7,d6,d5,d4,d3,d2,d1,d0)=00000100; 4’b011: (d7,d6,d5,d4,d3,d2,d1,d0)=00001000; 4’b100:( d7,d6,d5,d4,d3,d2,d1,d0)=00010000; 4’b101:( d7,d6,d5,d4,d3,d2,d1,d0)=00100000; 4’b110: (d7,d6,d5,d4,d3,d2,d1,d0)=01000000; 4’b111: (d7,d6,d5,d4,d3,d2,d1,d0)=10000000; Endcase Endmodule I don't understand how to connect 4 bit Alu with     3 to 8 bit decoder to make 4 bit processor    

I know that you need one to fit the socket but i need to know how much volts and ect. beacause i dont want to mess up my computer

I have 2 computers: 256RAM                       256RAM 40Gb hard disk          20Gb hard disk 1.3GHz processor     1.3GHz processor Can I somehow connect the 2 of them into a better one? I know I can take the RAM and the hard disk from one and attach them to the other computer,but I want to connect the 2 processors together . Can I do that?

I've noticed that my computer runs really hot sometimes after 20 mins or so.  Other times I can have it on for hours before it gets hot.  Thanks ahead for all answers.

I am doing a project to repurpose a Westinghouse KX-241 switchboard meter as a CPU process meter for my PC.  To to this I will have to make a new scale for the meter.  Here is the type of meter in question: http://www.allsbrookelectric.com/media/0e/a20792a12cc1c0e3dc7d2f_m.JPG The scale on the meter I have does not match the scale I need, which is 0 to 100 (percent).  This is a simple task: Just remove the scale from the meter, scan it, and modify the image as necessary with Corel Draw.  Then print the new scale on glossy paper and adhere it to the top of the meter scale.  Simple.  Except, if you notice in the picture, the scale of the meter is not all flat.  The outer edge of the scale where the lines are is angled outward.  If I try to apply a printed scale to this, the printed scale will have creases where the paper negotiates the angled portion.  Any ideas of how I can manage this without creases?

I would like to know just curious as I would like to communicate with a ARM CPU (or more powerful processor) by using a GPIO expansion board plugged into a raspberry pi's GPIO.

I have two processors from junk comps and one is a AMD-K6-2/400AFQ, and one is a AMD-K6-2/350AFR. What's the difference between these two processors. I also have a Pentium III SL52P, is this processor better than the two? I currently run with AMD, and have had good experience with them, but it doesn't really matter to me what brand it is.

Cpuz says that my processor is running at 830MHz maximum in virtual pc My processor speed is 800HMz my host os is windows XPSP3 and the os in virtual PC is windows 2000 Neptune(go figure) edition Also my physical computer says that my cpu is running at about 790MHz

My family just got a new computer. However, the processor on the new one sucks compared to the old one. Old processor: AMD Phenom x4 9100e quad core processor New Processor: AMD Athlon II 170u processor is my old processor compatible with my new computer? How do i swap them out?  what risks are involved? will any data be messed up? please help...

The i7-620M, which is 2.66 Ghz (3.33 Ghz turbo mode) with 4MB cache. Or the i7-820QM wich is 1.73 Ghz (3.06 Ghz turbo mode) with 8MB cache. One is faster, but the other has a bigger cache.

I am trying to make my own computer out of the parts of ones that have been thrown out.  The computers I find are really old and slow, so I need to figure out a way to group the processors to increase the speed of the computer.  I anticipate to be running Linux on the machine.

My computer has that but I'm not sure if I should upgrade it. If so to what? I usually multitask on this computer but not gaming much.

It's been six years since I first learned how to use microcontrollers (on this very site!) and I think I'm ready to delve into the wonderful world of ARM processors.  I've heard a ton of awesome things about them, including their reduced cost, high clock speed, usb connectivity, large memory, 32-bit cores, more I/O's, reprogrammable pin functionality, and some of them can even run linux! Unfortunately, I'm blind to the spectrum of arm.  What's a good MCU to dive into the sea of arms with, and why? Thanks I'bles! -muffin

I'm looking at an AMD Athlon II X4 645 Quad Core Processor and I just wanted to know if this will be able to play games like Portal 2, or Black Ops without lagging.

I have a dell dimension 4500, only 128mb ram, 1.8ghz processor, 18gb hdd running XP Home. Is it a good idea to buy and add better parts to this computer? I'm thinking about maxing out the RAM, and buying a 80gb hard drive. I work with non-commercial 3D graphics design (its a hobby), and I need more power. Should i work off this computer or buy a new one?

Found an old board which has 478 molex broken. It is BGA so it is easy to remove old molex. I've found some new one on ebay for something like £4-£5, my question is how to solder new molex? http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/285247/MOLEX/51248-4792.html here you can see how it soldered originally. I understand that this requires special equipment, etc. but it would be nice to fix it as I have old 3.2 processor,therefore can make file server,etc. The one thing I thought is attach sew to the solder iron and solder each connection individually, which is would be time consuming and most probably very inaccurate due to hand shaking etc. Another thing is just "solder" processor directly on the bga, removing all pins and use hot air.Although it may be very "brittle". Any other way/ideas how to do this?

So This question has two parts.... i need to measure the frequency of a computer processor.....and an avr microcontroller........ actually i want to know weather it is possible to connect a arduino to a pc's processor through wires or an avr through wires to a secondary system like an arduino which will measure the frequency....... and is it possible to overclock an avr ? if yes , then how can i ?

Hello everyone !  So let me explain myself, I got an old socket 775 intel pentium dual core e5200 processor and I wonder if I could turn it into a usb heater like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSgW9AMeIjo The only problem is that I can't find out where to solder the USB wires using the datasheet : http://www.intel.com.au/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/pentium-dual-core-e6000-e5000-datasheet.pdf So my question is can someone find out where I could solder the wires ?

I just built my first appleseed prototype. What d'you guys think?So, for the sake of discussion... What's the general attitude in the instructables community towards biofuels in general? Who here's boycotting ethanol? If so, are you boycotting all ethanol, or just ethanol made from food-crops? Who else on i'Bles makes biodiesel? -DMC

I have C-language knowledge, and am looking to buy an Arduino, and don't want to have to buy another as I progress.  Which is the best deal?

I would use the laptop for: - internet - multimedia such as video, music, pictures,... no games - heavy software such as Cinema 4D, After Effects, Photoshop, Sony Vegas, Fl Studio,... - for school (microsoft word, excel,...) i dont really know whats important about the processor, should i choose intel core i5 or i7 is the video card important to me,, i dont want to use my laptop for playing games do I need a big ram size ? how big must my HDD at least be ? .... i have about € 600 for the laptop (864 USD) thanks for reading this, i hope someone can help me !!

For my science project this year I need a process that can be run on a computer cluster and that displays how long it took to process. The time needs to remain fairly constant yet be accurate enough to display variations in processing power. For example, let’s say that there is a computer with 4 GHz of processing power. if i were to repeat the same process multiple times then the time taken would be something like 2346765.4567865676 seconds the first time and 2346765.4567865681 the second time, so it would only slightly vary each time. if the processing power would change to 3.95 GHz then the time would change to 2346765.45679 so that variations in the processing power would be evident in the time taken. These are just examples and the values have nothing to do with my actual project but i need something to process with these characteristics. Please ask if clarification is needed.

For example... what CPU uses more electricity when running full bore A. a 486 processor B. an intel Pentium processor C. an intel Atom processor?

I have a computer hp zv 5000, i want to up grade its athlon 1.6 processor, is it possible to upgrade to maximum what extent?

      I was thinking of buying an old (Pentium II) laptop with windows 2000 professional on it.  I was just wondering if I could put a Pentium 4, etc. in to replace the old processor, and then put Linux on the machine.  Thanks!

I have several old computers that I don't use anymore. Would it be possible to link them up so that I could use all of their resources at the same time?

 I am making the hot plate found at: www.instructables.com/id/Hot-Plate/ I want to find the 'voltage' and 'gnd' pins for my Pentium 3 SL4MF processor. The datasheet at: download.intel.com/design/PentiumIII/datashts/24526408.pdfshows the pinout, but I can't figure out which pins to connect the wires to. Please Help. Kabir

I'd like to make my 1993 Brother word processor useful. It looks like a laptop with a small black-text-only screen and handles a few basic programs (Tetris, word processor, spreadsheets). I've seen great Instructables for later laptops, but nothing that would work for mine, since it doesn't have a color screen and probably has a pretty small memory bank. Ideas?

Ok, so I'm getting a laptop and I'm not sure if one exists with what I want but if it doesn't fine I'll wait for it to exist.  The laptop must have a core i7 processor, blu-ray writer, 1920x1080 resolution, an HDTV tuner, and a backlit keyboard.  Here's what I've been looking at: Acer Aspire 8940g, HP dv8t and dv7t, Dell XPS 16.  So I'm just wondering if you can actually buy such a laptop I know Acer has said that they offer all these options but I can't find such a laptop anywhere on the internet.  Thanks for the help! And P.S. I don't want an Alienware laptop.
