Some cable management later and you're mostly done. It didn't quite fit on the newer LGA socket specifically on an ASRock Extreme4 motherboard , and rather than waiting another agonizingly-long three days for an adapter bracket to arrive, we took it upon ourselves to mod the existing mounting plate to fit the LGA socket. For all of you who just enjoy case and system modding, here's a quick how-to guide for converting bracketed coolers to sockets.
As always, we'd suggest that you take care when working with low-voltage electronics and wear an ESD wrist strap or even read our anti-ESD guide. The top bracket doesn't exactly line up with the holes. This was to be expected. Thankfully, ASRock built in holes as well; though not visible from the image, our bracket is sitting atop the correct mounting holes.
With the bottom bracket placed on the corresponding , holes you more visibly see that the bracket and the socket are not going to line up squarely. This could tweak the board unfavorably and potentially cause stress damage or allow a direct short, given an unfortunate enough series of events. What may be less visible, but perhaps more important, is the way that the socket's screws interfere with the placement of the bracket. Check out the next image to see more detail. Here we can see that the bottom bracket does not mount flush with the motherboard.
The screws from the socket backplate are the clear culprits. We are now charged with improving the situation. Sharp blade? This should do the trick. Enter old faithful: the dremel tool! There are few modifications that this little sucker can't tackle. This entire process takes about 45 minutes. Using the tool, cut the proper amount of plastic away so that the interfering screws from the socket backplate will no longer be in the way. Now we thread the screws in to the backplate in the opposite of their normal direction.
We do this to make sure the backplate is lined up with the holes and to make sure that the Zalman backplate is sitting flush on the socket backplate. RISC has fixed length instructions. CISC generally does not. RISC has much simpler memory addressing modes. The main difference is, RISC does not have microcoding to execute instructions - everything is done in hardware. Obviously, this strongly implies much simpler, easier to execute instructions, which make it superior today.
However, code density is less for RISC, and that was very important in the 70s and early 80s when memory was not so large. Even now, better density means better performance, since you'll hit the faster caches more often. This article is also wrong about 3D Now! In reality, 3D Now! Games, or other software that could use 3D Now! It was relatively small to implement, and in the correct workloads could show dramatic improvements. But, of course, almost no one used it. The remarks about the dual bus are inaccurate.
The reason was that motherboard bus speeds were not able to keep up with microprocessors speeds starting with the DX2. Intel suffered the much slower bus speed to the L2 cache on the Pentium and Pentium MMX, but moved the L2 cache on the same processor package but not on the same die with the Pentium Pro. The purpose of having the separate buses was that one could access the L2 cache at a much higher speed; it wasn't limited to the 66 MHz bus speed of the motherboard.
The Pentium Pro was never intended to be mainstream, and was too expensive, so Intel moved the L2 cache onto the Slot 1 cartridge, and ran it at half bus speed, which in any case was still much faster than the memory bus. That was the main reason they went to the two buses. That was as far as I bothered to read this. It's a pity people can't actually do fact checking when they write books, and make up weird stories that only have a passing resemblance to reality.
And then act like someone winning this misinformation is lucky.
