So recently my system was performing well below what I knew it to be capable of but because of the timing of events it took me a week to figure this out. About six weeks ago I for some reason choose to change the default power plan in Vista (Home Premium 64) to 'Power Saver'. At the time I may...
"To start off, in my opinion AMD should just stick with server processors and graphics cards."
Competition benefits us the consumer. So, suffice it to say, I most certainly disagree with the OP and am quite happy that AMD is sticking with it.
Yes that subjective aspect is an interesting one. In another forum we talked a good bit about LCD monitors back when they were more in a transitional stage. It became obvious quickly that it was a very subjective topic and for people switching from CRT tech to LCD, they related a wide range of...
Oh, this is very interesting. I didn't fully realize it at first but Newegg sent me a different version than what I ordered. I'm not sure yet but I think I got a better version. I'll have to looking to the southbridge chipset difference.

So I have a new AMD single slot CPU mobo with one PCI-E slot for a video card. The video card is a single GPU core.
The mobo has a 24 pin power connector, a four pin connector next to the CPU and also a auxiliary video power connector* just above PCI-E video slot. The video card itself has a...
I think you would have less issues with water cooling. I've never built a water cooled system myself, heck, I'm still interested in going back to the old days when fans were not needed at all.
The reviews on the motherboard indicated that the northbridge ran hot.
You're right. Other than the lower wattage consumption, how does this CPU compare to a Athlon 64?
Well now that people know, perhaps someone will chime in with information. I'm still curious if anyone has any anecdotal info...
I actually do mind OC'ing and won't be doing it right away and probably only to the GPU. I looked at similar priced Intel CPU's and from what I saw, they were not competitive when on equal price footing.
I'll be keeping the current system active which already has a burner as does the system...
An interesting and probably important topic in an ever increasingly sensitive to toxins world to discuss, but it would seem to me that beyond a reasonable and rational desire to just have components that were inherently less toxic, the path of least resistance would be to take a newly built...
This system was just purchased yesterday from Newegg and should be here by Friday to start assembly and testing. The main focus of this system is to build on a low budget and to be able to play contemporary MMO's in a raid setting. Monitor, mouse and keyboard will be supplied by my old system...
I just bought this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811147073 It is very similar to the posted above but a tiny bit cheaper and it might have less constriction on the front intake air path, hard to say. I should have that by Friday. It's been very annoying buying a case these...
Intel is three times the price and won't be offering enough of a speed advantage to make it worth while for my use. Owning the speed crown isn't everything, price is also a factor. A 8800GT is about $45 more after rebates. I'll be able to OC the GS fairly close to a GT which is what makes it...
I am building to play mostly MMO's with. The cost factor was a big one in this system
* 1 x Thermaltake A2491 140mm Case Fan - Retail $15.99
(Going to place this in front bottom to pull air into the case and push it over the HDD.)
* 1 x Rosewill R218-P-BK Black 0.5mm SECC Steel ATX Mid...
I'm no expert but my assumption would be that this person needs a commercial product because of duty cycle rating. At least I would expect commercially targeted products to have a duty cycle rating on them or other assurances. I really don't know how it works in the commercial CPU product world...
