Hi, Yeah, maybe, and if so would be nice if the 4th core was stable up to 3.4GHz, but if not, I guess 3-cores will be just fine. I think I read here or somewhere else that the Asrock 790Gx DDR2 mobo was capable of unlocking the 4th core. I just have to get the system together (I hate loading OS...

"Really?" Yes, 'really', at today's prices $150 constitutes an upper or near upper mid range price. None of your business where I was at when a 3800+ cost $300, but rest assured I didn't buy one at that price as my old P4 2.4GHz performed well enough for me. I have never and will never...

So, a dose of your own medicine has you gagging.:D Many people that buy mid and low range CPU's do need and use VT. Additionally, I tend to think of E8400 and E8200 (if their is one, don't racall off the top-of-my-head), as high mid stream due to their cost, particularily the E8400, but that...

PowerStream Helping AMD to Save More Than Just Data 03/20/2009 07:49:06 Technology company expected to save $150,000 in annual electricity costs YORK REGION, ONTARIO, Mar 20, 2009 (Marketwire via COMTEX News Network) -- AMD (NYSE:AMD), an industry-leading technology company which designs...

When was Cyrix/IBM sued by Intel??? Some people need VT, in fact, many people use VT and opt for well priced and ggod performing AMD CPU's. Yeah, AMD64 is an extension to x86 as I previously stated, and Intel and consumers should be thankful for it. Anyone can criticize anything for...

A consumer does not get VT on E7200 and below Conroe type CPU's, whereas a consumer gets VT on all AMD multicore CPU's. Many people use and need VT.

For all the nonsensensical 'AMD will fail' this and that will fail sillies out there here is some more info. Point is, most sane people do not want AMD to fail, nor Intel, nor Sun, nor ITT, etc. etc. etc., because all these corporations contribute to the advancement of computer science and...

Yes, you're right. It is indeed 0904 on my CPU. The 09114 is at the end of the third line on the heat spreader, and that is not the production date. I looked quickly at the store and mixed the numbers up when recalling them. Casual glance etc., plus I now have very screwy vision in comparison to...

I have gone even more in debt by not being completely CHEAP. New X3 720 at $140 form Microcenter, new Asrock 790Gx DDR2 mobo from ewiz/superbiiz that I had to RMA and have to test and set up the new system, new but sitting around for awhile mid tower that is sturdy but was CHEAP with a PSU I use...

Actually, to me anyway, Kyle's review of the P2 940 wasn't bad but it was that he didn't use 4GB's of DDR2 or DDR3to even it up a bit with the i7 920, and even running the 2GB's of DDR2 the P2 940 did very well. Kyle's other review of the X3 720 did use DDR3 and it did show a small...

With the new and cool running and eneregy efficient and baclward mobo compatible Shanghai CPU's and the upcoming Istanbul and beyond, coupled with the new and hoepefully successful FAB 2 plant in NY and AMD/GF's intention to make 3-types of chip silicon - they wish to sell Bulk Silicon to other...

Designed later but as an alternative/addition. However, this shows that other companies did not wish to be locked into Intel's x86, so they developed thier own x86 compatible codes. Cyrix I don't believe paid Intel licensing fees. This may also show that Intel does try to monopolize. When AMD...

Intel had the first working x86 CPU in 1978, but IBM, Cyrix, AMD, etc. had their own versions of x86 or x86 capable CPU's. So, perhaps the courts will decide that x86 is not soley Intel's invention. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86 "The instruction set architecture has twice been extended...

I have a Asus M3A78-T mobo, a X2 7750, and 2x2GB sticks of 1066 DDR2 RAM and had no problems with getting it running at 1066MHz and more (up to 1160MHz or something, I forget). First only use 1 stick of RAM to get your system up and running, and the mobo will set the speed at 800MHz. Second, put...

The PH1 prices have dropped a lot: $104 X3 8750 at New Egg, $140 X4 9850 at the Egg, $150 X4 9950 at the Egg, and X4 9950 around $100 on USA Fleabay but most sellers won't ship overseas although many sellers do. Those PH1's I mentioned use more power and run warm but are definitely good and fast...
