    Phenom or Bulldozer

    I think you might be mistaken. Here is a quote from the official AMD website:

    Phenom or Bulldozer

    I was wondering: Isn't a Phenom II 980 a better choice? I mean, which software really does fully take advantage of 6 cores*? The 980 is clocked @3,7GHz, compared to 3,3GHz of the 1100T, which has a Turbomode(3,7GHz) but only when it uses 3 or less cores. And the 980 is cheaper. * AutoCAD...

    5850 scaling in crossfire with latest drivers

    The 6800 series scale really well in CF compared to the 5800 series. I was wondering if the reason for this are the latest drivers or the 6800 architecture. The reason I want to know is because 5850 prices are dropping which makes buying two of those puppies very attractive. One 5850 is cheaper...

    HSF recommendation for 550BE

    I just received my 550 BE (CACYC 0923bpaw, this stepping any good?). I haven't decided what HSF to buy, so I wanted to use the stockfan first. I was thinking about the Xigmatek HDT-S1283, which I can order at a lokal store, but I saw two version: CAC-SXHH3-U02 and XIG-RED-SCORP-S1283. I assume...

    Post your Phenom II and Sempron unlock or failed unlock results here.

    Question: Does bios F5 have the ec firmware selection=hybrid setting? I assume it does, but as far as I know Gigabyte also complied to AMD's wishes to remove the unlock capabilities of motherboards with 710/750, at least in the US where they supposedly removed all biosses capable of unlocking.

    Post your Phenom II and Sempron unlock or failed unlock results here.

    Question: which motherboard builders ignore AMD's request to pull biosses with unlock capabilities? I know ASUS doesn't. I wanted to buy the new M4A79XTD EVO mobo, so I mailed support and got this answer: Pussies!:P

    Athlon II X4 Take 2

    The Romanian guy from xstremesystems.org forum had one, so I assumed those must be the denebs. I was probably wrong in my assumption, just like I was wrong in assuming that fab 1 in Dresden wasn't ready to massproduce Propus cores yet. I heard they had production problems. I should have said the...

    Athlon II X4 Take 2

    I am looking at upgrading my old Athlon single core system. I have been reading and both the Athlon II X4 620* and the Phenom II 550 seem to be Deneb cores, which means both can be unlocked to become a Phenom II X4 processor. As I understand, the 550 can be overclocked a bit higher than the 620...

    Finally got my 30" W3000H-BN

    I got mine as well this week, and I have to say it has exceeded all of my expectations. It's cheap compared to other 30" monitors and mine is basically flawless. No backlight bleed, no dead pixels, no white glow, no sparkling effect. The only downside is that the PQ is not up to par with my...

    New 24" H-IPS from Philips: 240PW9ES

    Seems the monitor is for sale and some people already got it, yet I cannot find a single review on the net. I find that a little odd. Any of you find anything?

    Which is the best 30" monitor for gaming?

    No, it is not subjective, since you can actually measure it. If you play online, those milliseconds can actually be the difference between kill or be killed. If were a gamer, you would know this. The LG is a very interesting option. It utilizes the newest panel, yet it is as striped down as...

    Best Gaming 30"

    I reckon 30" IPS' without scaler are the best for gaming, so that leaves you the older models like the HP 3065 you mentioned and the LG W3000H.

    New 24" H-IPS from Philips: 240PW9ES

    Philips sold the last bit of their stock in LG Display. They had about 13% left. LG and Philips started LG Display together.
