Overclocking
If you've
been involved in the world of computers for any length of time,
you've probably heard the term overclocking. For many, the term
smacks of black magic, requiring inordinate amounts of skill, dedication,
and possibly even a blood sacrifice or two just for good measure.

AMD
Launches Barton at 3000+ but Can It Take the Triple Crown?
When Sunnyvale chose the code name "Barton" for their
512K AthlonXP processor they set their sights high. While Thoroughbred
(AMD's .13 micron code name) implies a solid level of performance
by referencing a well-bred horse, the name Barton has a more specific
meaning. The original Barton was Sir Barton, the first horse to
win the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont.

Studio 64 exemplifies AMD’s vision for pervasive 64-bit computing.
Today’s digital world creates an enormous volume of data that

of today’s 32-bit computing.AMD’s 64-bit vision is particularly
appealing to enterprise users because it maps a successful transition
to 64-bit computing that protects their investment in 32-bit infrastructure.

HHC-001 Heatpipe cooler
A heat pipe is a closed system that uses the natural properties
of liquid to move heat from one location to another. Essentially
there are two ends to a heat pipe, hot and cold. The hot end is
at the source of the heat, in this case the bottom of the heat sink.
The cold end is near the top.
