    upgrading a laptop processor

    There are many versions of PIII processors and they are usually non-interchangeable. You have a PIII 700 and maybe your best bet will be a PIII 800 Mhz, I could be wrong. Even a PIII 800Mhz fits your Compaq Amanda, does not warrant that little upgrade. If you are just typing or surfing, I...

    Intel pulls quad cores Cloverton, Kentsfield into 2006

    X6800 Vs. E6700, why the large price gap?

    I am not a gamer but I still said its well worth it because within the split second, it means either win or lose when gaming. US$360 x2 will not buy that happiness! In reality, I type, internet surfing, watching video, file transfer and sometimes I encode videos, yonah or Pentium D is enough...

    Is there a need for me to go conroe when I have a 3.9ghz P4/ w/HT?

    If you are converting a 300MB AVI file to a 900MB MPEGII file, your cpu max out. You cannot do internet surfing (very slow), you cannot browse your HDD (sort of very slow). Then you know the value of 2 cores or quad cores CPUs. The problem is you don't even know that you need multicore CPU...

    Does Conroe emulate 64-bit or not?

    Sorry, I am trying to clear doubts in my mind. The present applications are mostly 32 bit for Windows XP. How good these applications are running under the 64 bit OS (i.e. Vista 64 Bit and XP 64 bit) as compared with 32 bit OS (say Windows XP)? Say you have Conroe (with EM64T) and AMD64 and...

    Socket 478

    Pentium D 8xx is only around $100 and D930 is only around $150 performs way better than P4 Northwood. Just sell your mom's on eBay and get a new better system for free (money you get from selling the laptop will be more than you pay for the new system).

    Does Conroe emulate 64-bit or not?

    Who cares native 64 bit or not, only performance counts. I have heard that Banias, Dothans and Yonahs will not run 64 bit Windows XP, and 64 bit Windows Vista and only Meroms will run on 64 bit OS. Will someone enlighten me, is that so?

    Vista will be available to volume buyers like Dell in November, 2006. Shelf stores will have them in Jan, 2007. According to a recent mass meeting, MS staff said, the RAM memory will be mainly for prefetching to boost PC performance. It will be much faster than XP. It learned your habit and...
