Best Notebook CPU

What about a Core 2 Merom 7200 or ever 7600 compared to an AMD Socket AM2 X2 4600+....Power consumption isn't a concern as much as power, I'm pretty sure that the x2 4200 is better than the mobile core 2 duo merom, im just as to what everyones opinion is on how much better is the performance.

Best Notebook CPU

For CAD and intense multitasking, with battery lifespan not a concern, which would be best.... AMD Mobile Ahtlon 4000+ 2.6ghz, Pentium D 940, or Core 2 Duo Merom?

Barebone Notebooks

Okay, for some time now I have been searching through endless pages trying to find where I can get a barebone socket 754 notebook that supports an AMD 3400+ cpu with a decent gpu. I found one made by Uniwill, P50CA. But their customer service is terrible, I call and the person that answers...

Ubuntu is awsome, just 1 minor issue...

I'm almost posotive its a driver issue that is kinda odd, because whenever I use the ubuntu live cd, the internet works perfectly for hours and never loses the connection.... but when I boot into Ububntu when its installed on the hd, it doesn't work.

Ubuntu is awsome, just 1 minor issue...

Sorry, forgot to mention that I tried that to, I can't connect to the modem either when its like that. My other comp is online still the entire time wirelessly. It would make sense if the 4 port switch on the router was going dead, but typically that just goes completely dead from what I've...

Ubuntu is awsome, just 1 minor issue...

I tried out Ubuntu as everyone suggested and love it, it's going to be perfect for who I want to set up with it. However there is one minor issue I seem to be facing. When I was in Ubuntu on the live cd, it worked online fine. However after installing the OS, it stays online for roughly 1 minute...

Best Linux for a computer novice...

Just out of curiosity, what does everyone think is the best version of linux for a complete computer novice. I haven't tried too many, but so far Linspire seems nice, mostly due to the Clink N Run service, making installing applications much easier for a novice. I'm sure I am way off here, so...

I think typically Maxtor, and there isn't really anything outside of the ordinary with the drives that are dying, as far as I can tell they are running at normal temps....

HD Lifespan

I work at a computer store that sells both dells and custom builds. Since I have worked there, I have seen nearly 10 times as many Western Digital, Maxtor, and Seagate HDs fail than Dells hds, the only two reasons I have been able to come up with is either their power supplies are stable and...

RAM and Opteron combo...

So there is a decent increase in performance for matching the memory FSB with the CPU FSB, or at least getting them close?

RAM and Opteron combo...

For an Opteron 165, with intentions of overclocking, think its better to get pc 4000 and try to match the memory FSB to the CPU FSB, or go for pc3200, and get the lower latency? For example, 2gb dual channel OCZ Plat rev 2 pc3200, or G.Skill extreme 2gb at pc4000. Also, can a properly...

Opteron 165 o/cing

I've got a 0551 UMPW, best I can get is 255mhzx9 @ 1.35v, even if I increase core voltage it still doesn't go any higher than it did when at stock. It gets to right before verifying dmi pool data and restarts everytime, think I can get any higher than 2295mhz?

Btw, how are dfi's with corsair from your experience? Completely incompatible, or just kinda difficult with oc'ing?

There is a micro atx epox, but supposedly it can only go up to 220mhz, so unless you can get the multiplyer to 11x or so it could work.

Okay, for a good, inexpensive gamming computer, does anyone know of a good socket 939 micro atx mobo thats good for oc'ing, and would a Opteron 165 be good for this, I was thinking like 1gb ocz ram, opteron 165 oc'ed to 2.5ghz, geforce 7800, any suggestions?

CP5670 In your system, you have an Opteron 146 at 2.8ghz, do you think that a 165 can reach that, and if it does is it better?

AMD ~$2000 Computer

I've heard a fwe times that the 166 is best for overclocking, yet I've also heard of a few others outperforming it, what would be the best choice in terms of processors. Also with the DFI nForce4 Ultra-D boards, I see alot of negatives and posotives. They seem to be known for being great for...

AMD ~$2000 Computer

You guys are awsome, thanks for the help, I'm trying to work things around so a x1900xt works into the budget. If I were to overclock the 165 to 2.8, and with the x1900xt, do you think the system would be stable and capable of basically handling anything I threw at it for the next few years...

AMD ~$2000 Computer

Hello, I am looking at building a complete system, with a budget of roughly $2000 or less for my girlfriend. I want to build a machine that can hopefully handle anything that might be thrown at it for the next couple of years, such as playing a high end game and decent if not better settings...
