    My New Dell Has E6300 Rev. L2

    In the "Power Options" control panel, I've tried both "Always On" and "Home/Office Desk" profiles and it doesn't seem to make a difference. However, just to test, I loaded up Super PI Mod and as soon as I put load on the processor, the multipler goes up to normal.

    My New Dell Has E6300 Rev. L2

    I can't explain it. The BIOS reports it as a 1.83ghz processor, as well as System Properties in Windows. I just checked the BIOS settings and SpeedStep is off.

    My New Dell Has E6300 Rev. L2

    Although I have built computers in the past, I decided to buy a prebuilt this time. After much thinking and looking, I ordered the Dell e520n, since my current usage is such that the X3000 graphics are fine for my use. For those not familiar with them, the N-Series is Dell's line where you...

    Mixing Stick Sizes for 3GB

    That is what I am doing for my new Dell. I am going with 2x1GB and 2x512MB sticks for a total of 3GB. There is really no point in installing more with 32bit Windows's RAM addressing limitations. And I am going with 667mhz DDR2, since it isn't much slower than 800mhz when coupled with a E6300...

    Building A Stable Brisbane System

    I have been thinking about building a AMD based system, just to give me a change of pace from Intel, and with the announcement of the 65nm Brisbane CPUs I have decided to go for it. Unlike a lot of you, I really am not concerned with overclocking, but stability. So what I am looking for is a...

    Cheapskate Considers An AMD Dell

    Enginurd, I have been looking through Dell's documentation on the Dimension e521 and overall, it is interesting to read. I was particularly surprised to see that the motherboard that Dell is using has no PATA connectors, only four SATA connectors and one connector for a floppy drive. I also...

    Cheapskate Considers An AMD Dell

    I found an eValue note on Dealnews.com that let me order an e521 X2 for 399.00. Hightlights include: Athlon 64 X2 3800 1GB of DDR2-RAM (2 Dimms) 160GB HDD DVD-ROM Drive GeForce 6150 LE Graphics Not bad for 399.00, I think. It also came with free shipping. The only bad part is an...

    Cheapskate Considers An AMD Dell

    You can upgrade to the 3500+ for $30.00. Think it's worth the extra $30.00?

    Yes you were; my apologies. I must have based that price on a unit with a monitor. :o

    Cheapskate Considers An AMD Dell

    Thanks all. The most intensive thing I do is rip CDs, so I am thinking the single CPU would be fine, but I will look at the X2 model. Also, I know the video card might be lacking but at least if I don't like it, I can put a different card in. Thanks again to everyone.
