Calling all E7400 Owners

Really??!! So Intel bumped up the voltage significantly in these R0 cores? If I had know that, I'd stick to M0 cores in these two builds :( Luvin my E7200 all that much more now! 1.056v under 100% load @ 3.1ghz (will boot at 3.2ghz but fails Orthos after 4hours).

Calling all E7400 Owners

What are your VID's as shown from Core Temp (idle and 100% load)? I just built 2 budget computers using e7400 cpu's. Core Temp list one with a VID of 1.1000 idle and 1.2625 at 100% load and the other CPU at 1.1000 idle and 1.2875 at 100% load. They are coupled with cheepo mobos that have...

T4200 VS T6400 core 2 duo

That link also says the T4200 runs at 2.1ghz... so I'll take the info with a grain of salt. I hope it is wrong about this chip being a merom... it'll be a great (cheaper) alternative to the T6400.

T4200 VS T6400 core 2 duo

... another victim of Intel PR. A Pentium Dual Core Txxxx is a C2D with some L2 cache and virtualization disabled. Same architecture. T6400 is not worth the $50 upgrade.

[Dead - no new signups get gift] Windows Feedback Program ( Free VISTA, Office, or other product)

Got my Vista today (cali) and noticed its the original version.... what, is M$ trying to offload old discs? I was really hoping (with them taking so long to mail it out) that maybe we would get sp1 since it doesn't seem possible to slipstream sp1 into a vista install. :(

Cool n Quiet changes Ram speed too?

I am taking the reading from cpu-z. at full cpu speed, cpu-z list memory as: DRAM Frequency: 380Mhz FSB: DRAM: CPU/5 at throttled to 1Ghz CPU: DRAM Frequency: 200Mhz FSB: DRAM: CPU/5 it looks like memory is a divider of CPU speed, not FSB. Or at least that is what CPU-z is...

well, aren't some applications more memory intensive than cpu intensive? In addition, now that a lot of A/V processing is offloaded from the CPU to the graphics processor, couldnt there be cases where the computer is active processing A/V and need memory bandwidth but the cpu remains throttled...

Help with heatpipes on a heatsink

Gonna build a new rig soon and it looks like al the good heatsinks have heatpipes in them. OK, I understand the whole heatpipe concept - liquid in pipe vaporizes, rises to top of pipe carrying heat away, cools and falls back to bottom. I can see that working as long as the heatsink is standing...

2GB Kit of Geil Ultra PC2-5300 3-4-4-8 for $152.40 + Shipping

I was reading the specs at Geil's site and came across this: 'Hand-Picked Chip, 1.9-2.3 Voltage'. Does this mean that if I got 2 sticks, one may need 1.9v and the other 2.3v to operate at the stated timings??
