Just got the almost daily e-mail from silicon. com. Nice little bit about Intel and the technology behind their future products: Intel will today unveil a chip packaging technology which should increase its semiconductors' processing power by around ten times over the next five years.

T-bird 1.4 overheating

Dredd

I just recently purchased a 1. 4 GHz T-bird on a Abit KG7. I put thermal paste and a Dragon Orb 3 on the CPU. After getting the system all up and running, ran it for 6 hours and it crashed hard. Now I can get it to post, but no OS will run on it.

Help: mouse doesn't work in WinXP

bluedha

I just upgraded from Win2k to WinXP. But ever since the installation, the mouse refuses to work. No movement, no buttons work, nothing. When I had this problem in Win2k, fiddling with via 4in1 drivers fixed the problem.
