  • If You're Into PC Hardware, This Is the Chapter Where You'll Have a Lot of Fun, And
    chapter 1 INSTALLING HARDWARE f you’re into PC hardware, this is the chapter where you’ll have a lot of fun, and pos- Isibly learn something. PC hardware has dramatically improved over the past five years. PCs offer better speed, better prices, better compatibility, and incredibly better hardware quality than ever. Some strange and potentially crippling holdovers persist from the very first days of the PC platform, the most notable of which is interrupts. Interrupts are discussed in much more detail below. Despite some nagging problems, PCs are unquestionably faster and cheaper. This chapter discusses how you can get more out of your Windows 98 system. A huge commodity parts market flourishes around the PC platform. Every comput- er store in your area sells add-on parts for your machine—video cards, sound cards, net- work cards, new hard disks, and so on. Buying new parts is a great way to extend the life of your machine. The process can get complicated. This chapter’s main mission is to help you understand and avoid the many gotchas involved in upgrading and general- ly working with your PC’s hardware. Here’s the absolute, paramount fact of this whole chapter: N Windows 98 computers rely on a specific PC feature called hardware interrupts (called IRQs, for short). N Every PC computer built in the past ten years—Windows PCs, MS-DOS PCs, you name it—uses 16 hard-wired interrupt lines that are built into the computer’s hard- ware. (The original IBM PC and XT machines had just 8 interrupts.) 1 2 CHAPTER 1 • INSTALLING HARDWARE All the individual devices in your PC, such as the keyboard, serial ports, modem, video card, networking card, printer port, sound card, game/joystick port, and disk con- troller, each occupy one of those 16 precious interrupts.

  • Matrox in the New Millennium: Parhelia Reviewed Matrox in the New Millennium: Parhelia Reviewed by Brian Neal – July 2002
    Ace’s Hardware Matrox in the New Millennium: Parhelia Reviewed Matrox in the New Millennium: Parhelia Reviewed By Brian Neal – July 2002 Introduction For some time following the introduction of the Matrox G400 and later the G450, we heard rumors about a "G800" project. About a year and a month ago, Matrox introduced the world to the G550. But the G550 lacked the performance and features of its competitors, and was relegated mostly to 2D work. The G550 was more an evolution of the G450 than anything else, but this time, things are different. Matrox's new Parhelia is an all-new design, incorporating modern features such as Direct X 8.1-compliant pixel and vertex shaders. The G550's 166 MHz 64-bit DDR SDRAM memory interface has been replaced with a far more robust 275 MHz (250 MHz OEM/bulk) 256-bit DDR SDRAM interface capable of 17.6 GB/s. This combined with some interesting and innovative features like hardware displacement-mapping, triple-head surround gaming, and the prospects for Matrox's next- generation product are looking quite good. The Matrox Parhelia But not everything is looking so bright for Parhelia. Manufactured on a 0.15µ process, the 80 million transistor GPU is quite large and also quite hot. Consequently, it currently clocks in at only 220 MHz. To contrast, compare the GeForce 4 Ti4400's 300 MHz clockrate. The low clockrate is compounded by a lack of hardware occlusion culling, which means the quad-pipeline renderer is significantly less efficient than many other contemporary designs when it comes to overdraw.
