After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain.  I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain.  If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration. 

Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

  • Installing an Intel 775 LGA Processor

    Published: Wednesday, July 4, 2007 - General_Information Installing an Intel 775 LGA Processor

    Traditionally processors have always featured a pin and socket packaging system that would enable you to interchange processors. Some required that they be pressed into place while later versions used a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket which uses a level to slide part of the socket and lock the processor in place with friction. The Intel LGA processor package is a little bit different.

    Published: Monday, July 2, 2007 - General_Information Installing an AMD Athlon64 Processor

    The Athlon64 is an amazing little processor that was the first on the market to support both 32 and 64 bit instruction sets. In an attempt to increase performance the memory controller was integrated into the processor die and thus removing the major performance variable when it comes to different motherboards and chipsets. The purpose of this article is to illustrate the proper way to install a processor using the Athlon64 processor package, although this guide will apply to most ZIF socket systems.

Some promote the company by handing out flyers while others help make sure things run smoothly around the booth. Regardless they are a nice addition and give us something to talk about. happy smile
