can you please tell me how
computers in general cope with cold temperatures depending on their
generation ? Like, from 286 to P4 or vice-versa. I would also be
interested
to know about the Motorola 68k architecture or Zilog Z80 (as far as I know
these are still made and used in various things, named eZ80).
And hey, it depends on the P4. Socket 478 or LGA775? Yes, the LGA775 have
killer operating temps. As someone once said, "free space heater."
Thanks
So what ever happened with hi-temp super conducting computers.
I suspect a Military/Space version of said CPU's may be available.
It would be the frost, not the cold that would kill the CPU then.
Oh no no, I was asking about civilian processors only, and about pure cold
only (of course, it depends on the air humidity). It might be interesting to
know about military spec ones, too, though.
And I meant the P4 is a "free-space heater" and not "outer-space
heater" :)
