12. Some notes

• ACS lab task Pages 1 /2 - General
• Although the PCs in TB2.01C are probably not
  networked as in the previous Microprocessor Lab,
  these PCs have been configured for network
  operation on the ESTUD domain managed by the Dept
  of Engineering Technology.
• Even if not networked features such as the
  computer name can still be used locally
• Make sure you record where you got your results
  from.
• CPU Performance Sandra Lite 2009
• Sandra can be used to provide industry standard
  benchmarks
• These results can be recorded here but will
  require some extra research into what is measured
  by the Dhrystone benchmarks etc
• Note the results can be compared with other
  processors select a good sample for use in your
  report
• Processor etc
• Processor information can be obtained from Sandra
  but cpu-z is also a useful tool
• Buses
• The buses on a PC interconnect the various
  components these PCs are now quite old so dont
  feature PCIe slot(s) or SATA drives
• However record the information as given
• USB information can be very confusing
• EHCI Controllers only handle 480 Mbps the lower
  speeds 1.5 and 12 Mbps are handled by UHCI
  Controllers
