A rambus memory module is called?

RIMM (Rambus in-line memory module) - as opposed to a DIMM (dual in-line memory module). Also referred to as an RDRAM module.

Where can one purchase a Xeon 5160?

There are many sites on the web that a Xeon processor computer can be purchased from. The largest include Amazon, Dell, Newegg, and Tom's Hardware among others.

Which CPU is manufactured as a multi core processor with one of the cores disabled?

Triple

Edit:

"Triple?" What does this mean? Triple core? There are Rana processors that are shipped as dual-core but have 3 cores on the die. This means that your answer is wrong.

The most common examples are triple-core processors, but not all of them. As for actual examples, Phenom X2-X3 and Athlon X3 processors are famous for having locked cores.

What is the difference between uart and usart?

UART is universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter. It is a piece of computer hardware that translates data between parallel and serial forms. Modern ICs that have UART's that can also communicate synchronously are called USARTs (universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver/transmitter).

Could a PC with an Intel Celeron run a game that requires an Intel Pentium III?

Possibly. "Celeron" doesn't refer to any particular processor. They are cost-reduced versions of the Intel Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium 4, Pentium M, and Core 2 Duo. Assuming that your Celeron is based on a processor that is faster than the Pentium III, you shouldn't have any problems. If yours is based on the Pentium III, check the clock speed. A 1.2 GHz Celeron, for instance, is probably fast enough for a game that requires a 1 GHz Pentium III.

Other factors, such as the graphics card of your system, may also be important.

What is the best processor?

the famous for being ver great i7 is great. but any processor is fine. if you want to play games then you need a graphics card. a processor is for a hardcore internet user. but it wont matter if your using a really bad internet router

Can you replace a Intel atom precesser with a Intel atom dual core?

If it shares the same slot-type and the motherboard supports it, yes. In some cases, a motherboard will support a processor with a higher number of cores than was originally intended thanks to BIOS updates.

For instance, Asus M2N motherboards were originally released around the time that dual-core Athlons (Athlon X2) were gaining popularity. They supported single and multi-core processors of the AM2/AM2+ (slot) type by design. With the latest BIOS updates, they officially support AMD Phenom II X4 processors of the AM3 type up to the Phenom X4 945, and many users have had success installing 955s in these boards too.

If you are considering installing a dual-core processor in place of the existing single-core processor, it would be best to check the compatibility of your board with such processors before going further.

What is the difference between i5 and i7 procesors?

It depends really. If you're looking for a fast but more budget-friendly CPU, the i5 is better. But it lacks some features that the i7 has. Nevertheless, it is still a good, fast CPU. The i7, on the other hand, currently reigns as king and its prices reflect that.

The Intel core i5 and i7 features both hyper threading technology helping it do multitasking and can boost the ghz up to a higher ghz. But the difference between the i5 and i7 is that i5 has two cores and i7 has 4 cores.

What is the best Intel processor for gaming?

The recently releases Intel i7 chipset family consists of the best processors for gaming (ranging from $350 to 1,000).

What is the Intel Pentium T2310?

The 1.46 GHz Intel Pentium T2310 dual-core processor delivers additional computing resources and help expand the PC's capabilities by providing higher throughput and simultaneous computing. You'll be able to perform multiple tasks such as digital rendering and gaming all while running virus scan or other background tasks seamlessly. Each core shares 1 MB of L2 cache, and they have a 533 MHz front-side bus. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

Who invented the Intel Processor?

In November, 1971, a company called Intel publicly introduced the world's first single chip microprocessor, the Intel 4004 (U.S. Patent #3,821,715), invented by Intel engineers Federico Faggin, Ted Hoff, and Stan Mazor. After the invention of integrated circuits revolutionized computer design, the only place to go was down -- in size that is. The Intel 4004 chip took the integrated circuit down one step further by placing all the parts that made a computer think (i.e. central processing unit, memory, input and output controls) on one small chip. Programming intelligence into inanimate objects had now become possible.

Which is better Intel Centrino Duo or Intel Celeron?

Dual Core is better as it has two processing cores, Higher Clock Speed, Bigger FSB, Bigger Cache and it is built for multitasking but it does not mean that Centrino is bad as it is designed for NOTEBOOK Computer and does not give lower performance.

Guy above me is wrong

He asked about Centrino duo which IS a dual core. The Centrino platform is going to be a LOT faster than the Pentium Dual-Core. Centrino means you're getting a Core 2 Duo processor, Intel chipset, and Intel wireless. Core 2 Duo processors are much faster than Pentium Dual Core processors.

These 2 guys above me are wrong... na just kidding i just really wanted to say that :D

What advantage do dual core amd quad core processors have over single core?

The most gaping advantage can be very easilly explained through example:

Single core processors have a single thread, and can process a single set of instructions per clock cycle. This looks like this (Saying this processor can process 2 instructions a clock):

(Note this is in an optimal setting where data is perfectly threaded)

Clock 1: Instruction 1; Instruction 2;

Clock 2: Instruction 3; Instruction 4;

Clock 3: Instruction 5; Instruction 6;

Clock 4: Instruction 7; Instruction 8;

Dual-Core processing would do this same instruction set much quicker:

Clock 1: Instruction 1; Instruction 2; Instruction 3; Instruction 4

Clock 2: Instruction 5; Instruction 6; Instruction 7; Instruction 8

In a perfectly threaded application, two equivilent-performance cores on a dual core processor would power through the work twice as quickly as a single-core model. A quad-core with these specs would do the entire instruction set in a single clock.

Even if it isn't always a 2x increase, multiple-core procesors have a distinct advantage in a very large range of applications.

Which is better amd or Pentium?

The AMD Sempron is AMD's brand for low-cost processors. These are primarily desktop processors that are meant for users on a budget who do not have extensive computing needs (i.e. web, e-mail, word processing, etc.).

The AMD Turion is AMD's mobile-grade processor specifically meant for laptops. These processors draw less power and generate less heat than desktop processors, which is why they are desirable for laptop environments.

The AMD Turion is a much better CPU for use in laptops as the improved power efficiency means longer battery life, and the Turion (not being a low-cost processor) is also likely to be a faster performing processor over the Sempron.

Which is better Intel core 2 duo T6400 2.0 ghz or Intel core 2 duo T6600 2.2 ghz?

Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 is better. Look at the numbers, when newer versions come out, the numbers get higher. T6600 is running 2.2ghz, while the other one is running only 2.0 ghz. You are winning by .2 ghz, which is somewhat of a lot in computer terms. I recommend the T6600, unless the price of the T6600 is 15% more than the T6400. You will be able to run a lot more applications with the T6600.
