(Sorry for delay in responding, I've been on 'holiday') ok for one card. will reduce PCI performance. I really don't see how that would happen. even the Magma boxes suffer from reduced PCI performance. the problem isn't just bandwidth, there is also TIMING, something that is very important to a real...

From StarTech's website:

- Supports 32-bit PCI cards less than 6.7” in length; 64-bit PCI 12.28” cards (full-length) are not supported

That's for the 4x PCI, shorter enclosure, not for the full length card one.

Would that be the 15-chip card? The...Sonic Rocket Booster was it? Ah, hang on, Startech do this one: https://www.startech.com/Cards-Adapters/Slot-Extension/PCI-Express-to-2-PCI-Full-Length-2-PCIe-Single-lane-Expansion-Box~PEX2PCIE4L Only 2x PCI slots instead of 4x, but you do get 2x PCIe slots also...

Modern LGA motherboards with PCI slots are becoming as rare as the earth enrichment material which appears from a rocking horse's behind. My current PC is of the LGA 1155 variety, which I think is around the sandy bridge time. Since then Intel have moved on to socket 1150 and now socket 1151. My 2x ...

I use a very cheap and cheerful old armless wooden chair that I found in a skip years ago and have re-upholstered a few times. The secret ingredient is a 1.5" pressure relief cushion which transforms it into the epitome of comfort; I can sit in this chair for hours at a time with no discomfort ...

Dude. NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo! ELP were more responsible than any other band for opening my eyes to a whole world of music outside of TOTP when I was a kid. I heard their first album when I was 11 and it blew me away. I've just been reading some articles regarding the circumstances surrounding...

An article about this appeared in ElReg today: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/09/01/prs_sues_soundcloud_copyright_streaming/ I can't help but wonder when is PRS and such going to go after Google? Fact: pretty much every single song ever recorded is available on youtube, right now. OK, I haven't p...

Deep in the heart of Middle Earth... I seem to have gone full-circle now. I was most productive waaaaay back when I just had a four-track cassette tape recorder, a guitar, a cheap as chips 2nd hand bass and a TR-909 drum machine (mid-late 80's). I used to bash out tunes at a phenomenal rate, admitte...

Asus Z97_K or Asus Z87-C Based in your experience guys, which one would you take and why? Cheers! The Z97 chipset supports the newer, fifth generation Intel core CPUs, whereas the Z87 chipset supports up to the 4th gen. You can put slightly faster RAM in the 97 board. Z97 also provides support for ...

It only compresses data in RAM which would otherwise have been swapped out (and slaps it into the system process's address space); overall this means more RAM use (as the compressed data is in RAM, not written to the swap file), but faster application switching as the applications' data can now be r...

My mind is literally reeling upon encountering that level of retarded, I can feel parts of my brain dying off in self-defense. So, are Soundcloud stealing artists' music, and making that music freely available to stream, or are artists uploading music to Soundcloud and making streaming links to said...

"to make a free OS for mac and windows"

I...what? You do realise that Mac (iOS) and Windows are operating systems, yes?

So you want a free operating system that will operate on top of iOS &/or Windows?

Intel started adding SIMD type instructions way back with the MMX instruction set (1999?), so I guess the lines between what is a general purpose processor and what is a digital signal processor are somewhat blurred these days. Some chips we've worked with in the past have both a general purpose CPU...

Tobias Erichsen is my MIDI hero! Great stuff. There's a whole bunch of stuff I wouldn't know how to do without his software.

How is it that DSPs are so much faster than CPUs? DSPs are designed to do very specific tasks very quickly; their hardware performs these tasks very efficiently and perhaps more importantly, perform a series of parallelised tasks in just one execution cycle. The tasks they are designed to do are th...

On the subject of hyperthreading... It's a way of shoving more stuff into the execution pipeline; the physical execution resources are shared but the execution states of the threads are stored, allowing much faster context switch between threads (2 threads running on one core), but is only worth con...

FYI... On my W7 Pro 64-bit system, once it's finally settled down after booting, just over 3GB of RAM is already used up. That's with no user level applications running. YYMV of course! [Aside: an astonishing 1,100+ threads running in 80+ processes before I run the first application. Wot?!] Public S...
