    I know this will sound stupid to some, but I am curious about one thing. I know that AMD is planning a huge price cut to match conroes. What I am asking is taht, at what price will AMD be at an equivialnt price performance ratio to the conroes series. THe current price cut, according to some...

    Budget Dual Core showdown (Pentium D 805 vs X2 3800)

    sigh: the argument about high power usage is flawed... the wattage only peaks at 220w at 4.1 at toms hardware.. but thats at 100% usage on both cores... so unless you are running your comp 24/7 at full usage, you will be hit with a high power bill, otherwise its unlikely for you to get over a...

    Budget Dual Core showdown (Pentium D 805 vs X2 3800)

    logically it can;t beat the 4000, but it will beat anything in its price bracket and maybe the one above it.. the really great kicker would be conroe which is definitely believed to beat everything out htere.. the 805, really have sewn up the budget and mid end euthuseast market, while...

    Budget Dual Core showdown (Pentium D 805 vs X2 3800)

    dude: what are you expecting? a sub 150 processor able to beat amd flat ship line? if thats was a possibility, amd would be out of business and intel wouldn;t have to release conroe at all for its price, once oc its almost as good as a x2, and thats what matters..

    QUAD CORE AMD coming in a month! Motherboard showing off today

    visaris: we are not against quad core, but its not time for it yet, as the current batch haven't yet utiulised dual core and you are pusing for quad core, once the programs start using dual cores as a norm, then you only push for quad core.. its a matter of the right time and right place...

    ahh my bad then, cos i saw it on an ebay site where some guy is selling the conroes from malaysia. i think it was stolen from the factories but it seems i was mistaken and i thought its now fact that amd is gonna release the dual socket fx62, to fight conroe. all the major sites seems to say...

    Building Skt939 Computer Now? Or wait?

    i would sugeest you wait. come july there will be tons of reviews and benchmarks for you to compare, and even if you don;t take conroe, the prices of the amd and intel chip would drop anyway. so it would be a better deal to wait and more choice and cheaper. i got a question on your build list...

    QUAD CORE AMD coming in a month! Motherboard showing off today

    you are commenting on price? the dual socket by amd in only for the fx lines and their current price is sky high, not to mention that the new mobo has only been released.. perhaps before you comment on the matter of price, you could bring in some hard numbers. i am a newb on the opteron line...

    QUAD CORE AMD coming in a month! Motherboard showing off today

    visaris: if what you are saying is true and that price is not the issue and some will only want the best, then all intel has to do is to create dual dual core with teh conreos and d series and make amd eat their pie. if amd can do it, why not intel, and if you really think that 4 cores is...

    533mhz OR 667mhz DDR2 For A New CPU

    it depends on your processor, unless you set the dividers of course your ram clockspeed is usually tied to your processor at 1:1, therefore without knowing your processor and your intent on it, we can;t really say,. you could of course get the faster one and set dividers, but its dependent...
