Aug 31, 2010 · Video cards: ATI GPUs

VIA Nano CPUID Tricks

Aug 26, 2010 · General Platform

Intel compiler and libraries often work suspiciously slow on processors from other vendors. The matter is that generated code has multiple versions of the most critical parts optimized for specific architectures and instruction sets. There's also a dispatcher that selects the needed code path. Thanks to Agner Fog, who has found out how to change the CPUID data of the VIA Nano processor, we now can conduct an independent "fairness" test and see what's going on.

The collective image of an AMD 890GX-based motherboard is quite attractive.

Jul 28, 2010 · Processors: AMD

Foxconn A9DA-S Motherboard

Jul 23, 2010 · Motherboards

Foxconn A9DA-S is a very good product for PC builders, because it 1) is up-to-date and 2) doesn't have any extras, so it should be affordable. But it will have a hard time competing with other retail solutions on the same chipset, many of which have better features. Under these conditions, price becomes the decisive factor.
