Intel D945GCLF2 Dual Core Mini-ITX Carputer Motherboard | 2008-10-03 | |
| The Intel D945GCLF2, based on the Intel Atom, is finally released. One of the key features that caught the author's eye was the dual core Atom processor. Not only is it dual core, but its power usage is outstanding. It's estimated to use 4 watts under load while consuming milliwatts (thousandths of a watt) when idle. Being in a carputer, power consumption is a vital specification because one needs to figure out how large of a power supply one will need. The power consumption spec can also give one an idea of how much heat will be disappated, because after all, the power not used for computing will dissipate into heat.

Dual-Core Processing Revs Up Toyota's Virtual Wind Tunnel | 2006-06-01 | Red Hat |
| Toyota Motorsport's Formula One racecar designers rely on a virtual wind tunnel to analyze aerodynamics and predict how a given design will perform under real-life racing conditions. This case study discusses the processing requirements of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation software that powers Toyota's virtual wind tunnel, and explains how a dramatic increase in computational power, fueled by Dual-Core Intel® Itanium® 2 processors, has enabled Toyota Motorsport to significantly accelerate its design-to-manufacture cycle.

Dual Processor Vs Dual Core | 2006-03-25 | Puget Custom Computers |
| As the tasks that computers can perform get more complicated, and as people desire to do more at once, computer manufacturers are trying hard to increase speed in order to keep up with demand. Having a faster CPU has been the traditional way to keep up, since a faster CPU can do a task then quickly switch and work on the next. However, due to size, complexity and heat issues it has become increasingly difficult to make CPUs faster. In order to continue to improve performance, another solution had to be found.

How to Install a Motherboard | 2000-11-06 | Motherboards.org |
| The first thing you need is a clean, level place to work. You will also need a Phillips head screw driver, some needle nose pliers, all of your device cables (IDE UDMA 66 /33 and Floppy), and about six screws and washers. You will also need your user's manual and about twenty minutes of your time. Static electricity can be a big problem, so always ground your self out by touching the metal of the case before handling any of the equipment. Be prepared: read your user's manual, and familiarize yourself with the motherboard and its layout. An ounce of preparation can equal a pound of performance. | |||

Motherboard Buying Tips | 2000-01-01 | Motherboards.org |
| No matter what happens with the technology involved, there is always one problem that plagues the DIY system builder: choices. Since we, the power builders, are usually building for exactly that reason, it's ironic that it is also our main problem. The first and largest problem that we have to deal with is what CPU we are going to use. This dictates the next question that we are going to be faced with, which is what motherboard is we going to mount the CPU and all of the other components to? After years of helping people choose motherboards, there are a few simple lessons that I've learned.
