    Single or Dual-Core?

    I am reading a Tom's Hardware article on AMD's X2 CPUs, and they did a comparison between the 4800+ and 840D. AMD smokes the pentium in almost every test :D. The only difference I saw between the 4600+ and the 4800+ was the cache (512k x2 vs 1mb x2, respectively), and when I did a chart...

    Single or Dual-Core?

    Hence my reasoning to save the $100 and put it towards RAM, HDD, or Mobo :D

    Single or Dual-Core?

    OK, after much deliberation I am going to get Dual-Core. Right now I have the 4200+ picked out, but I noticed that the 4600+ is only $60 more expensive, so I will probably bump to that. I was reading reviews and people were saying the 4600+ was great, but not super-fast. Most mentioned the...

    Single or Dual-Core?

    In respect to the new AM2 socket and DDR2 memory, this article proved interesting. The x2 5000+ performed on average only 10% better than the 4600+, and the 4600+ uses the full 800mHz memory bus, whereas the 5000+ only uses 742mHz due to the multiplier and memory divider. I may even be able to...

    Single or Dual-Core?

    Depending on my bank at the time of the price-cut, I will either get the 4200+ or splurge and get the 4600+. Should I spend the extra $60 (according to http://www.digitimes.com/mobos/a20060622PR211.html) if I have the funds?

    Single or Dual-Core?

    Whenever I get a popup bubble from the sys tray, my framerate goes from ~30 to ~2 rofl If you play World of Warcraft, Thottbot and Allakhazam are your friends :) Another reason could be switching channels in Ventrilo. I have accepted that there will be little-to-no performance change...

    Thinking of XFX 7900GT

    What card would you guys recommend? Geforce GeForce 7900 GT EXTREME (520MHz) 256MB, Geforce 7900GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 VIVO, or Geforce 7900GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 VIVO. The last two are the same, but they have different clock speeds. Opinions? Suggestions?

    Thinking of XFX 7900GT

    I got a card picked out, but people have been saying there have been problems with it, especially with dual core (will be running AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+, people were saying they had problems with intel duo, so maybe it is just with that proc?) I wanted to know if any of you have any...

    Single or Dual-Core?

    According to the fine folks on this forum, DailyTech, and co-workers (also enthusiasts) the 1mb L2 cache will not boost performance in gaming significantly. These reasons have made me make the switch from single-core skt 939 processor to the dual-core skt am2 processor. I also saved about...
