    PHENOM II Reviews

    as far as i can tell, it'll provide a decent alternative to the upper-midrange intel LGAs. finally, AMD caught up to the Q6600.

    New AMD X2 6000+ 1MB cache

    cpu-world shows 3 types of X2 6000s http://www.cpu-world.com/cgi-bin/IdentifyPart.pl?PART=x2+6000&PROCESS=Go either go with ADA or ADV ones. ADX is old and has too high of a TDP. ADV is probably the best since its newest.

    wow i dont see it on ewiz any more either. haha strange. it was there when i found it. i was surprised to find it in the first place anyway. looks like its gone. only the 125watt crappy tdp one there now. oh well, ebay is ur best bet now. just look out for either of these two model #'s and...

    Upgraded to a faster amd x2 6000+ got some questions now...

    I got it from ewiz. I don't see it on their site any more. I remember newegg had it for some short period between sept-oct, and now its not there. What you're looking for is model # ADA6000IAA6CZ your best bet is ebay. decent price here: ebay link edit: wait! i do see it on ewiz still...

    Upgraded to a faster amd x2 6000+ got some questions now...

    just get the OCZ vendetta. I got it for around 25$ i'm running the same CPU btw,... well err in fact it is actually the 90nm windsor core, so it runs hotter (its still 89w tdp), but the fan on the hs runs at <1000rpm when i'm doing basic stuff. so its basically inaudible. i wouldn't trust a...

    AMD Athlon 7750 Black Edition

    if these new Kumas can run on AM2 boards then that would be awesome. they'd be a simple drop in upgrade for budget gamers (like me!). any one know if that might be possible? my mobo supplier hasn't updated the CPU support section with these new babies.

    will i bottleneck?

    i planned to tread on a similar route. that CPU is about the same performer as mine (X2 6000), for games anyway. the consensus was that there definetely would be a significant bottleneck. Here's the thread here's some good bottle-necking benchmarks Whats ur gaming res?

    AMD shares hits intra-day low of $1.63

    no one knows whats going to happen in the future, but it sure as hell looks bad. look up 'japan's lost decade'.it bears similarities to our current credit bubble. the nikkei never quite reached the same high that it had before their bubble burst. as far as economic indicators go, japan was in...

    Phenom 940 vs Core i7 Benchies!

    my point is the transition has been great. we're used to see abrupt ends in architectures like: Socket A <brick wall> ===> socket 939 socket 478 <brick wall> ===> LGA775 <brick wall> ===> Nehalem. with the am2/am2+/am3, you have a much more gradual change. we know that AM3 cpus will work...

    upgrading 9800GT to GTX260

    @Starcrossed nah. appreciate the feedback, but i think i'll just stick with what i have right now. i'm in canada too, so i can't get those same prices on newegg like you guys. (newegg.ca sucks) i've done some searching around too, and it seems like the cpu thing is really a bit of a massive...

    Phenom 940 vs Core i7 Benchies!

    yea it will with am2+ mobos. with an am3 setup, u'll have to move to ddr3 from what i know. hmm i haven't heard about this. got any sources?

    Phenom 940 vs Core i7 Benchies!

    despite how well they stack up against the i7, i think AMD is still THE way to go for an upgrade. this is especially true for whoever is on the AM2+ platform already. i think this has been by far the best socket transition in a while. you can go from an ancient X2 4200+ to a Phenom II 940 and...

    upgrading 9800GT to GTX260

    hmmm this is such a crappy time to upgrade a cpu if you're a budget gamer. -AMD's current mature offerings are shit. -Intel wolfdale series is on a dead-end socket. -AMD's future offerings might be promising, but you'll pay the early adopter tax (EAT) when they're released - presumably in...

    upgrading 9800GT to GTX260

    i found this article: GTX280 on different CPUs looks like i'll lose close to 20% on avg when compared to the core 2 duos upper end offerings. i play at 1280*1024, so yea cpu bottle-necking is prolly gonna be significant. games i wana play are (upcoming and released): FC2, left4dead, the...
