How to hack Intel's PAT right off

AN ARTICLE OVER AT OC Workbench in Asia explains the enigma wrapped in a conundrum and a riddle-me-ree called Intel's Performance Acceleration Technology (PAT).

And, claims the site, there's a relatively easy-peasy way to make "Springdale" 865 motherboards behave as if they're "Canterwood" 875 motherboards.

Why is this important? Well, it's because Intel is positioning boards with PAT as "turbo" boards and charging an according price.

Plus PAT is supposed to be "turbo" technology that Mr 865 hasn't got, while Mr 875 has.

It appears all to be about certain "tubes" that when they're "bypassed" give better "throughput", a concept we at the INQ understand only too well...

Go here.

Louis "I'm not telling you about the 13 Prescott New Instructions and I read the INQUIRER every day Burns, Intel's desktop man par excellence, carefully explained to us earlier this year that PAT was not named after Kicking Pat Gelsinger, the man who invented the 386 instruction set. µ
