Q) 2.10 Which is better, ISA/EISA/VLB/PCI/etc?

moons.Com - Reviews of the Saturn Aftermarket
Here is a quick overview of the various bus architectures available for the PC and some of the strengths and weaknesses of each. Some terms are described in more detail at the bottom. Comments: Since MCA was proprietary, EISA was formed to compete with it. EISA gained much more acceptance; MCA is all but dead. Comments: EISA is great for high bandwidth bus mastering cards such as SCSI host adapters, but its high cost limits its usefulness for other types of cards. Very commonly used in servers.

What are the pitfalls of different busses: PCI/ISA/EISA?

Solaris on Intel - x86 FAQ
Read the merits of running Solaris x86. But the worst sin is running UNIX on an ISA bus with disk controllers such as the Adaptec 1542 series. They're cheap but if you have more that 16 MB of memory in your system you shouldn't be running an ISA disk controller. Typically you're going to see better performance from the PCI or EISA bus. PCI is the biggest winner. VLB and MCA are supported, but largely obsolete.

Can I use ISA cards in the EISA slots?

PARISC-LINUX: FAQ
Yes. In general it's possible to use use ISA cards in the EISA slots. We already had some success with ISA NE2000 clones and some other cards, but you need to tell the kernel via the eisa_irq_edge boot parameter which ISA IRQs should be available for ISA devices.

I've seen ISA and PCI boards that seem to take care of the Y2K issue. Do they work?

Dallas Semiconductor Clock/CMOS RAM FAQ
It depends on the board. You should also be aware that, when pressed on this issue, the board manufacturers will tell you that there is always a latency issue when using this type of retrofit solution. These devices implant the century information in the system in place of the BIOS and the associated hardware clock information. Application programs that make all their calls to the operating system clock (or DOS clock) won't have any problems.

Who owns the Ethernet card and will I need a PCI or an ISA card?

Time Warner Cable Business Class San Diego / Frequently Aske...
If we installed an Ethernet card or USB adapter in your computer, then you keep the card even if you cancel the service. The PCI card is recommended over the ISA card due to its faster bus speed. If all of your PCI slots are full or your computer does not have a PCI slot available, then you will need an ISA card. If a USB port is available, a USB adapter could be installed and will give the same performance with our service as the other options.

Q9. What is ISA slot & PCI slot for I-MUX ?

digitech
ANS9. The I-MUX card is to be plugged in the spare slot of PC. The older PCs have ISA standard slot while the new PCs like P3, P4 has PCI standard slot. I-MUX is available for both the slots. ANS10. Technically 3 I-MUX cards can be plugged in hence 24 CNCs can be interfaced with 1 PC but practically it is better to connect 16 machines to 1 PC.

Which is better - USB, PCI or Ethernet modems?

SnowyNet - ADSL BROADBAND FAQ
Definitely Ethernet in my opinion. USB & PCI ADSL modems use system resources and often have driver issues or can be just plain painful to use & configure and are fairly dreary indeed if you plan on sharing the Internet connection between 2 or more PCs or to make Wireless.

What is a "picocurie" (pCi)?

RADON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A pCi is a measure of the rate of radioactive decay of radon. One pCi is one trillionth of a Curie, 0.037 disintegrations per second, or 2.22 disintegrations per minute. Therefore, at 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter, EPA's recommended action level), there will be approximately 12,672 radioactive disintegrations in one liter of air during a 24-hour period.

Hardware and PCI Overview FAQs
PCI is the abbreviation for 'Peripheral Component Interconnect'. It is a high performance 32/64-bit local bus that provides a host processor independent interface and an interconnect mechanism between highly integrated peripheral components, add-on devices and main memory, thus allowing high bandwidth data transfers. It usually resides on the system board and provides the highest level of synchronization of operation with the host processor, than any other IO bus today.

Q. Why are women better off using free weights?

ProSpot Fitness - Frequently Asked Questions
There's no question that both aerobics and strength training are good for one's health and each has its own merits related to benefits for the body. If you are interested in weight loss however, you may find it surprising that a free-weight regimen will yield better results than aerobic exercise. Weight lifting builds muscle. Because muscle burns more calories, even AT REST, weight training turns the body into a fat burning machine.

Which would have better performance, 1 AGP card or 2 PCI cards (with SLI)?

dfxzone.it - 3dfx Channel -> Voodoo2 -> FAQ
This depends upon the application's bottlenecks. If the application is bus limited, AGP may be faster than SLI. If the application is fill rate limited and not CPU bound, SLI may be faster. In general SLI will have better performance than AGP in fill rate.

Subject: 2.10 Do people die from CFS?

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome FAQ
Essentially, the answer is no. Little about how CFS works in our bodies would suggest that it could be fatal. The slowing of metabolism and the weakening of muscle function, possibly including heart function, might raise some possibilities. But as a general matter, by no means should CFS be considered to be a terminal illness.
