I usually use either a 270 or 330 ohm resistor at TTL signal levels (5V). If you want to know how bright (max continuous current) your led can operate, double check your data sheet. Max current handling varies most particularly depending on the led packaging (therefore heat dissipation).

Right you are. I was confused by Dagger being issued with GM on initial release, unlike Longbow which was patched to support GM (quite successfully, IMO). I haven't played Dagger, but I hear the music played over GM is fantastic.

Hi, got a HP Thin Client T5530, 800 MHz Eden CPU (CN700), 128 MB RAM and 2GB DOM (SSD). Northbridge : VIA CN700 Southbridge : VT8237 Graphics : VIA S3 UniChrome (Pro) WinXP is slow, so I installed DOS. The detected AC97 Soundchip (vt8233, 8235, 8237 ), using Knoppix Live USB Stick, can NOT be " …

Non PnP cards were configured with jumpers. http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?sid=3039 I actually have versions with and without separate line and speaker outputs. Both are missing some of the configuration headers and both are missing Waveblaster headers, so I just don't use 'em. …

Why don't you do end to end encryption? If you use GPG and strong keys, no email provider can read your messages. The most they can do is watch traffic patterns which they can often do anyway.

The cut-off seems to have been around 1990-1991 with PQ3, Conquests of the Longbow, etc. Play 'em all, I say …

From what I understand, the Netburst architecture was inefficient due to it's long staged pipelines witch, while it allowed for high clock rates caused severe branch miss prediction - up to 33% more than a Pentium III running at the same frequency. You can find more details on the Netburst …

This might be an interesting topic for a video. A face off PIII vs P4 at 1.4 GHz :) One problem is however chipset and memory. 865 and DDR is quite new. SDRAM boards will likely perform worse, and I've never played around with RAMBUS, but that should be quite fast. Yes and no re: RAMBUS. Bandwidth …

Did anything ever use them? :D Also Athlon had also some istructions more didnt it? Yeah as said the Athlon also has integer SSE. The + chips have just 5 new "DSP" oriented instructions. I think DVD software uses them. To what benefit I have no idea. DSP oriented also makes me think of software …

The original Pi is rather weak. I know it can't run Munt for the life of it (I tried to make a little portable MIDI module with an USB MIDI interface) even when OCed to 1GHz. The Pi2 does manage to run it... but with really high CPU usage even when OCed. I've seen topics with people saying Munt …
