Strange times. I bought my P4 3.06 in December of 2003, looks like I'll have this CPU almost 3 years before upgrading to a dual core system. I usually upgrade a little over once a year but things have been pretty stagnant for the last few years.
I do lots of video editing so the dually...
Okay, let me clarify.
Whether it be an AMD or Intel system, the clockspeed of the system is more important than the FSB speed or L2 cache amount.
For Sony Vegas, per MHz A64's are much more efficient than P4s. In addition, for the money AMD is the "faster" system. Finally, I want a quiet...
Thanks for all the helpful comments.
If I did decide to go with a nForce 4 motherboard and just get a socket 939 cpu and new PCI-E vid card what motherboard would you suggest? Stability being my #1 criteria, performance being #2.
You guys have got me wondering if I shouldn't just make the...
Okay, after 15 years of Intel systems I'm moving to AMD. I can't fight it anymore, the A64s are too fast, Prescott is too hot.
I have decided to go with a socket 754 system for a few reasons:
1. My main application is video editing and pure clockspeed rules for my preferred application...
I've been using Firefox and really like a lot of the features not available in IE.
One behavior in IE that I do like is the following:
When you select a root bookmark and it expands to the branches, any other bookmarks that were previously expanded automatically close to the root. Firefox...
I backed my brightness down from the stock setting of 50 to 40 and am happy with it.
Are you using DVI?
Are you using a wireless mouse?
I'm using a wireless mouse and ONLY notice a lag when my Presonus Firepod is turned on. So I have an interference problem.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm not familiar with how this works and am going to be upgrading to a 925X motherboard. Do you have to use one controller or the other, or can you use both?
The fonts are too small even when personal preferences are set to large fonts.
I have a 14.1" laptop running 1400x1050 and a 20" 1600x1200 desktop monitor.
That came out wrong! I meant to say that SG1 and Atlantis are good, but not as good as Farscape.
I try to watch Andromeda but it got kind of goofy. Enterprise has had it ups and down but has been getting better all the time.
Farscape has been great from episode 1.
I've been a fan of Farscape from the beginning and was sad to see it cancelled. I think it was the best sci-fi to ever hit TV, right behind Babylon 5. I guess I was more partial to it since it was the only sci-fi show my wife has ever been able to get into.
The series finale "Peace Keeper...
I thought it was interesting that there was no "official" press release for the P4 3.6. Perhaps I should looked in the Intel pressroom under "portable space heater," or "toaster oven."
But seriously, I think it shows that Intel is having serious problems ramping P4 clockspeed since in the...
Hi. I have a 845PE motherboard with a P4 3.06. My current fsb is 533Mhz and the memory runs at 333Mhz. I'm running PC3200 dual channel RAM so I was wondering if I upgraded to an 865P motherboard (thely are on the cheap now) can I have a 533Mhz fsb while running the memory at 400Mhz?
I'd...
I'm confused. Reading the specs of the boards tested lists only PCI-E 16 slots, no AGP slots.
Yet under the testing section it shows the boards being tested with an AGP graphics card.
?
Okay, so it's about 17.5", that's what I thought. I've seen it specified as 16" which would be impossible since that should be the width of the screen itself.
Thanks
Hi everyone. I'm researching buying a LCD for my desktop and am trying to decide on the size and resolution.
For my laptop the screen size is 14.1, native resolution is 1400x1050. That's 125dpi. I have my font scaling set to 125% which is actually 125dpi. That is also the default setting...
I have a Logitech MX700 mouse that even though it is not moved the cursor will begin to drift up the monitor. I thought this might be a dirty mouse pad problem so I went out and purchased a new "optical ready" mouse pad. It drifts less but still drifts at times. The batteries are fully...
I've been looking for software to upload contacts into my LG 4015 phone. I found something from Futuredial but it only works with Outlook and I'd really like to just use an Excel spreadsheet.
Anybody have any experience with this?
Definitely a hot deal for me. Thanks for posting!
The other ketchup continues to flush himself down the drain in the polls, aided by the kooks of course.
What software are you using?
I suggest you create a simple test script and get a few people with different processors to benchmark the script to see which processors render your software of choice the fastest.
That being said, in general rendering eats cpu cycles so get the fastest cpu you...
I'm helping a friend with a Win2000 computer problem. Here's the short version.
Win2000 wouldn't boot. Repair wouldn't work, wouldn't go into safe mode either.
Upon looking at the C directory I noticed that the "WinNT" folder was gone. I found out this was the work of a virus.
I loaded...
I'm going to switch when my trust Ilyama Visionmaster Pro 17 starts to show noticeable image quality degradation. I'm probably going to a 19" or 20" LCD. I'm ready to regain my desktop but don't want to throwout a good CRT. It's 6 years old so I can't see it staying sharp much longer.
I'd like to create two partitions on my primary drive so that I can have the operating system and all installed programs on the C: partition, but all of my data file, i.e. My Documents on the D: partition.
My reason for this is so that I can keep the C: partition well-organized and fast. I'm...
