Modems & CPUs Question :
I am using an Aztech DSL modem
to connect to StreamyX. I tried
to flash the modem's firmware and I think
the process went awry. After updating
the firmware, I find that my connection
has been very unstable. It works fine for
at least 10 minutes and then it would
just disconnect by itself. Even after
reconnecting, the same problem reoccurs.
Should I change the modem? My second
query is if a laptop is using the Intel Core
Duo T2300, will each core be running at
800MHz?
Answer : The only way to find out if the
modem has been flashed properly
or not is to check the current
firmware's version. Please refer to the
manufacturer's user manual or seek further
help from the website on how to check the
firmware's version. Basically you will have to
login to the modem and type a command or
check it through a web browser.
The operating speed of Intel Core Duo
processors does not indicate the speed
for each core. It is an overall speed rating
where the processor is run at. With two
cores, a task can be split into segments for
a faster completion time. Please refer to
Intel's website at http://www.intel.com or
our August 2006 issue on the Intel Core
Duo processor.
