Aight, I'm in again. I keep trying, I have to win sooner or later. 1. a) build my own That way I get just what I want, no cutting corners on PSU/vid card, whatever. 2. d) every 2-3 years A bit of a red herring though: I tend to...

Okay, correction. You CAN use an RC circuit to drive the clock inputs. You must be aware that the resulting clock won't be accurate. The 8085 is an ancient processor, and incorporated an 8227 clock generator on the chip.

I haven't looked at an 8085 spec in a long time. If I recall correctly, only if the 8085 has an internal crystal can you get away with an external RC circuit to generate a usable 32.768 khz clock. As for providing a higher speed clock,...

I'm in. Daddy needs a new SSD! 1) I own a very basic 64 GB Kingston. It's fairly slow and low capacity by modern SSD standards, but even so it runs circles around my WD Caviar black series drive. I am indeed considering a new SSD for...

I heard some rumors that a PM was just (or just about to be) sent to one lucky person.

For cold temps, usually the silicon ICs have no problem (assuming no moisture), but you could suffer mechanical stresses due to the cold temps--> you might have open circuits around some of the package pins due to uneven shrinkage of...

Most components on a motherboard are spec'ed to 0 Celsius operating, or often -40 Celsius storage. But usually the whole package has lower margin. And indeed, based on a search I just did, it looks like the baseline (cold) specs for...

Alright, I'll give it a go. 1. Brand of SSD I'm considering: official answer ---> OCZ detailed answer --> 2-horse race between Intel and OCZ. 2. What am I looking for: official answer --> Performance detailed answer --> Between...
