    Hey! I tried one of those i'll have you know :(

    What are these #s after Intel CPU names?

    ah, ok, wonder where i can find a list of what all the codes mean :p

    What are these #s after Intel CPU names?

    For ex. What is the number referring to when it says like Intel Pentium 4 630...anyone know?

    MMC...Mobile Module...confused

    hmm, right, so it's a card w/ a CPU soldered to it and also a Northbridge (that's what the heatsink is covering in one of those pictures i'm guessing)...in that case, how exactly does it attach to the motherboard...and what's that connector you mention fit into? :p

    MMC...Mobile Module...confused

    I'm confused as to what exactly the Intel MMC (Mobile Module Connector) actually is...any help? obviously it's a CPU, but i can't seem to find out whether it's just the CPU's package, or... :confused:

    32-bit CPU worse for 16-bit code than a 16-bit CPU..?

    hm, thanks a lot for replies so far. So, if indeed a 16-bit CPU runs something faster than a 32-bit CPU because that code is 16-bit, the reason is because of the architecture of the two CPUs in comparison to the code and also the particular instruction set in the two CPUs. And from what i'm...

    32-bit CPU worse for 16-bit code than a 16-bit CPU..?

    yea, i was referring to the Pentium 16-bit CPU in comparison to the following 32-bit Pentium Pro, which because it was 32-bit, was better on the high end of things, but didn't perform as well as the original Pentium w/ DOS and the version of Windows that was out at the time...i don't quite remember

    32-bit CPU worse for 16-bit code than a 16-bit CPU..?

    Why is it that a Processor optimized for let's say...32-bit code, several years ago, runs 16-bit code slower and less efficiently than a processor that can only run 16-bit code?

    How do you know if...

    Thanks, i've tried both those...someone also recommended disabling it, booting, then enabling it, and boot, something having to do w/ the fact that it's a VIA chip tried many drivers also...none seem to work, and MSI's site has some lame connection problems s'prolly just broken, sure i'll...

    How do you know if...

    Broken as in there's no sound produced, i'd have said hissing, buzzing, etc if that were the case. No posts on having my volume turned up all the way in the control panel, having my speakers plugged into the wrong port, having working speakers, or having my sound muted in Volume Control, none...

    MSI board + onboard sound issue

    Well I've gotten an older version of MSI live update, due to the fact that the MSI site is fucked and most sites link only to it. But of course, when the download attempts to connect to the file site for individual drivers, it fails, fuckin' up the download.
