Intel E2220 VS AMD X2 5400+ .. Which one better?

Get the 8200, most of the boards support 8 channel audio through the HDMI : a lot of 780G boards were too ahead of the curve.

Intel E7300 [10x Multiplier] In stock $143

The e7300s do support Virtualization Tech, the e7200 doesn't.

Modern Chipsets and an Opteron 1212

I understand the whole new tech thing, and the improvements in technology, but don't the Opterons handle multi-threaded applications much better? Also, I am not concerned with the Server Opterons, this machine is a Workstation/Software Development machine. I am completely aware of the...

Modern Chipsets and an Opteron 1212

Do all modern AMD chipsets support an Opteron Santa Ana 1212? I understand the connection is there, but do they carry the power requirements that chip needs? I need the multitasking power on a budget, and a 1212 2.0 GHz runs around 60 USD on newegg right now. Most board manufacturers...

Antivirus 2008

I know for a fact Lavasoft's Adaware will kill it, and then you may have to run the uninstall on it afterwards. I have cleaned it on three different machines with adaware. You might be careful, if it is running on the screen, it may already be in. I have seen that once before also.

Core Temperatures on stock E8400 - seem normal? high?

I built a machine for a friend with a stock HSF and stock X3110 (which equals the 8400) and his stayed around the same. He was also running 2 8800 GT's in SLi, but had 7 fans running in the case.

Breaking 3 GHZ on a P965

I am looking at a DFI 965-S, some OCZ 2 GB DDr-2 800, an intel E2220, is there any crazy kind of setting to get the 400 MHz FSB? I haven't seen it yet, I just wanted to clarify before ordering this board. It is only 79.99 USD as of this posting, and seems to be a better deal than any P35...

Cheap Intel Overclocking

I think that the difference he will obtain from an E7200 isn't worth the cash, if you are running on a tight budget. It will end up being sharper textures or higher mem processing in games -- something you could accomplish with say, a Radeon 4850. The difference in a 9600 GT or Radeon 3870 is...

4GHz at 320FSB for US$ 84.

I think waiting for the verification on SSE 4.1 is needed, without jumping the gun on a decision. If and when the games start sporting it, they are already estimating 30-40% performance jumps in the labs right now. The E7200 keeps going down, and that $50 for 4.1 support would be no...

Ultimate Linux/Unix n00b....help?

Also, whichever distribution you settle on is going to have a wiki page or help forum. GRUB is usually simple, normally 4 lines of code in one file, to boot windows along with linux. One version I have had success with is Arch Linux, it is relatively new but is very effective. The major...

Q6600 vs. Opteron (AM2) 1352

so in software development the Integrated mem controller doesn't count for that much? I have read intel does better still without it, I just wanted to know if anyone had experience with the new opterons.

Q6600 vs. Opteron (AM2) 1352

Ok, So AMD has the watered down 2300 series for AM2. I am on a budget, am building for a workstation-compiling-SW dev machine running linux and solaris. I do not game, and was wondering if anyone had seen a comparison between these 2. FSB is a bit faster intel, but the IMC is 4 GHz for...

AMD Opteron 1216 vs Intel Q6600 for 3D rendering?

i think the xeons referred to for servers are the socket 771 models, not the desktop 775 models. Just like the socket AM2 optys vs. the socket F optys.

Samsung ML-2851ND

Hey Ron, it's Nate; I have a Brother B4350 and sometimes these lights dim, but it isn't consistent. Lasers do have to heat up a lot to get the fuser ready, so what your telling me is certainly normal for a more modern speedier printer. Mine is an old 12 ppm model and likely uses a longer...

AMDs overclocking secret.

AMD would do best to stick to budget store IGP computer pieces, and invest in 45nm Opterons. They do still own the datacenter crowd. It's time to cut their losses on the phenom line.

good for OC : biostar GeForce 7050V?

I am going to build a system to OC with an arctic freezer, E2200 wintec ampo 2 GB DDR2 667 and 500W psu. is this brand known for good OC-ing? I am new to the subject, and am juggling between this and a Biostar or Gigabyte 945GC board.

Best "bang for buck" overclocker?

If you jump to another brand of proc, check on the board first before the proc -- your other HW i.e. AGP graphics are highly variable from one brand to another. I like intel chips more, but migrating my Radeon AGP card had better options on AM2/939 boards.
