US won't sell them US made M16/M4's, so they outsource the contract to some random Eastern European country (that supported the US invasion) to make AK-47's. Kind of ironic; capture and destroy Saddam's AK47's and buy new ones from Poland!
It should play WoW fine at around 1280x800-WS low settings.
You will *need* 1GB memory minimum. Upgrading to a 7200 rpm drive wont do you much good gaming wise.
Thats just BS spewed from AMD fanbois and for some reason some hardware sites take it as the truth. IF that were true, than 65W TDP Conroe's should draw signficantly more power than EE series X2's, when in fact, its been shown that they draw about the same power.
TDP has nothing to do with core temp. TDP = the maximum amount of heat necessary to dissipate if you use this device. What matters for core temp is:
1) Case air flow
2) Heatsink
3) Power draw
Overclocking is also a meaningless way to ascertain TDP. Some processors, like the Prescott...
Oh you again? What part of:
"EM64T technology of Core 2 Duo processors has a positive effect on the performance in the majority of applications."
and
"Of course, there are a few applications, when Core 2 Duo work slower in their 64-bit versions than it would in their 32-bit ones. Among...
What do you mean by take a hit?
There are applications in which x86-64 performance skyrocket or LOSE performance compared to their 32bit counterparts. The general difference between the A64 and the Core2, 64bit wise is within the spread of error.
Actually Hezbollah is quite peaceful to the USA during the Israeli/Hez conflict. They allowed for the safe evacuation of US citizens during the ordeal. If they wanted to, they could've easily killed thousands of US Citizens and marines during the evac.
But hey, lets overlook that fact.
Remind me... whats the difference between an Occupational Force (the USA) executing political dissidents/insurgents to the established government and Saddam doing the same thing?
Wow... I like how you like to spew FUD.
Core2 Duo is based on Core Duo (Yonah) technology with Netburst pre-fetchers and decoder. Do you wonder why Netburst Optimized Compilers work better for Core2 than Pentium-M Optimized Compilers? As for the raw clockspeed comment, I'm pretty damn sure...
Too bad the "slowest" Core2 is equivalent to a middle-high end X2 at stock speeds.
Those aren't even Dual Core X2's.

As for the OP: you're seriously better off buying a Dell.
This is what I got for $529:
Dimension 9200 (Small Business)
E6300
1GB DDR2-533
WinXP Home
80GB...
Man, I dont know how many times I have posted this.
This has nothing to do with current DDR2 prices. This was during the RDRam days. The DRAM Cartel artificially drove RDRam prices up high and lowered regular DDR and SDRam prices artificially low to drive Rambus from the desktop DRAM market.
3.06HT = EoL = most expensive by a large margin.
2.8/533 and 2.66/533's can be found for less than $50 on eBay. Quick fast solution if you have something thats sub 2GHz.
As someone who has done Q&A at Intel using high-end GbE and 10G NIC's/Switches that power the Internet's backbone, I think this is a bunch of marketting BS. If it decreases real-time latency by upwards of 90%, then all ISP's in the world would be using it.

I'm sorry, but even under an autocratic system, you have open debate; the only difference is that one person call the shots versus a voting scheme. China has learned painfully during the Imperialism Age/Cultural Revolution that having a bunch of suck-up yes-men is NOT the way to go, even...

Thanks Accord99 for saving me the time. But yea, CPU-wise, a high-end Core2 vs a high-end X2/FX chip is on the same level of comparison as a Pentium-D Smithfield to an earlier revision X2. Yet for some reason, people are saying buying an X2/FX now you're still gettting a "finely...
If you have a low starting budget (depends on how low), then probably the X2-3800+. If you game, I wouldnt sacrifice to a lower end video card. I personally wouldnt recommend going S939, but I've been noticing the prices for DDR2 recently, and they've literally jumped 50% in a few weeks. With...
I assumed you got the newest VIA 4in1 drivers?
BTW, its not rated at 333, it walls at 300, usually high 200s, so 284 isn't that far off from the top. This is actually an older Via chipset, not the one the VSTA uses, to my knowledge that has been hot-patched for Core2 compatibility.
Can't...
