Intel made an error with math processing early in the Pentium series. What was it? What did they do to fix it?

Intel had an error in the microcode on Pentiums up to 100 Mhz that made incorrect calculations for certain numbers when performing division.  When this error was discovered by a math professor (I believe from University of Virginia) and widely publicized, Intel offered to replace anyone who had a defective chip with one where the microcode had been corrected.  One good discussion of the problem in more detail is linked below.

Sounds like an all to common memory issue.\nTry Memtest86: http://www.memtest86.com/

The original Pentium 4, codenamed "Willamette", ran at 1.4 and 1.5 GHz and was released in November 2000 on the Socket 423 platform, and later Socket 478 from 1.5GHz to 2GHz.\n\n*Tidbit: The Pentium 4 line of processors was retired on July 27, 2006, replaced by the Intel Core 2 line, using the "Conroe" core.

I'm strated too. The x64 version has problems executing some 32-bit (and 16-bit) programs. That's why its mostly used on servers and not home computers?!

A few things... 1) The chip may be defective 2)The mother board in your computer doesn't support 512MB sticks.\n\nDoes the system start up when the chip is installed? If it does you could use a program like MemtestX86+ to test each chip.   \nYou may also want to check compaq's website for any bios updates that may help the computer.  \n\nFinally, PNY's memory configurator is a nice help for figuring out what your system can handle.  It will give you details about the motherboard, like how much ram is supported, bus speeds, cpu speeds, etc... Granted they will recommend PNY memory products, but their product model numbers give away the specific type of memory they are e.g. PC100, PC133, etc..

error occuring when the computer(compiler/interpreter) does not understand the language you are talking. \nThe computer's not at fault. Its just dumb. It only understands a few words. You have to speak those works only. Sorry.

guessing. Maybe a program ATI (video related) multimedia console (mmc) has caused an error in memory block 0x8002000B. \n\nNo results came up in a google search, so this is just a guess.

I repaired computers for 20 years, including first generation machines that weighed tons.  I can't even remember how much training I have had in theory but I simply don't recognize "series" as anything I ever worked with.  If it is related to programming I couldn't help you but if it is hardware related maybe some additional information might help.  I will place this on my watch list and check it later.

The computers microprocessor is its "brain".Its job is to do matemathical (3+9*85+*6) and logical (xor, and , or etc.) operations.Well the first computer ENIAC was used to do sums, i believe that was "it's original purpose".People often refer to the microproceesor as CPU, wich means Central Processing Unit.There a large variety of processors and processor brands, but the 2 most renowed types are Intel and Motorola.Intel (and AMD) Cpu's are used in pc's and Motorola's are used In Apple Machintosh systems(although apple is moving to the Intel platform).Intel based CPU's include the older 286, 386, 486 ,Pentium,Duron,Athlon,etc.The Intel 32 bit platdorm is also refered to as x86(because of the 86 at the end of the cpus codename).Now we are experincing the ascension of the x64 platform (64 bits) with cpus such as AMD Athlon64 and Intel Itanium.

"Celeron" chips were made with the intention to be "Pentium chips" but they are the ones that fall short of the specifications required to meet the standards of Pentium chips (operating speed, etc.)  In most industries when a manufactured product isn't up to par or "defective" it is discarded.  The Intel company decided that instead of throwing them away, they would make money on them by slapping a cool name on them and put them into computers anyway.\n\nCelerons are substandard and you should never sell yourself and your computer short by letting one into your house.

Dont give up the ship matey! I would try the new processor once more but read the manual thuroughly and make sure you have the procssor fan plugged in properly! Take your time, relax, read the manual once more! Cards themselves are pretty hard to install improperly, the most important things to remember are following the exact details of processor installation, cooling fan, and memory! Once you get it goin, its only easier to do the next one!

The Pentium D is a series of microprocessors that was introduced by Intel at the Spring 2005 Intel Developer Forum. A 9xx-series Pentium D package contains two Pentium 4 Cedar Mill dies, unlike other multi-core processors (including the Pentium D 8xx-series) that place both cores on a single die.\n\nThe Pentium D was the first announced multi-core CPU (along with its more expensive twin, the Pentium Extreme Edition) from any manufacturer intended for desktop computers. Intel underscored the significance of this introduction by predicting that by the end of 2006 over 70% of its shipping desktop CPUs would be multi-core. Analysts have speculated that the clock rate race between Intel and AMD is largely over, with no more exponential gains in clock rate likely. Instead, as long as Moore's Law holds true, it is expected that the increasing number of transistors that chip-makers can incorporate into their CPUs will be used to increase CPU throughput through other methods, such as adding cores.\n\nWith the release of the Intel Core mobile processors and Intel Core 2 desktop processors, the Pentium D is the final processor to carry the Pentium brand name that has been at the forefront of Intel's products since 1993.

Sadly, the Pentium D's are pretty much 2 scaled-back Pentium 4 Northwoods slapped onto a single chipset. It's not a new architecture. They pretty much use the same decoding instructions.
