I think you're mis correlating the reason AMD is selling their processors so cheap.

Well, to answer your main question on P4 vs Pentium D, the real question is do you want single core or dual core? If you don't know the answer to this, then perhaps some more research is in order. Also, is there a reason you want to buy one of these processors? Do you have an old...

He's talking about the dynamic RAM on the silicon itself. Extra cache lines for redundacy (DRAM) as opposed to an extra logic core in silicon that will only be used if another core is faulty.

Very nice, but this thread was not comparing the AM2 to Conroe. The discussion on hand is manufacturing capabilities.

They probably just work in the fab :D

Sure, when I get some free time... Free time has been lacking lately.

Yeah, sidewinder mentions having to mod some boards to get it to work. Again, I'm trusting them that it'll fit my board... I bought the XP-120 today with the Panaflo 120x38 Ultra High Speed 116 CFM along with a Asus P5WD2. Thanks for you help guys/gals. I'll repost when I have it all...

Yes, a very good deal. The sidewindercomputer.com site said that the XP-120 was compatible with all socket 775 motherboards, so I was going to trust them on that... " With a customized LGA 775 adapter kit, XP-120 is designed to fit all socket T (LGA775) motherboard. So far, we have not...

Thanks for your quick response. The XP-120 looks pretty sweet and I'll probably go with it. I don't really feel like messing around with water cooling at this point. Thanks again for your help.

I have never done research for a hsf before as stock ones have always been sufficient for my needs. However, I recieved a Pentium D 840 EE and it didn't come with a hsf (didn't want to go with stock cooling anyways). Can anyone give me some recommendations on a hsf or point me to some good...

blatant bump.

I'm not really too interested in overclocking, but having the option is always nice incase I change my mind down the road. :) I am still debating get a PCIe mobo or an AGP solution with a card like the 6600 GT. Any advice is apprciated.

I need it on to heat my room!

I've come across a P4 Northwood 3.2 GHz 800 fsb socket 478 and I would like a recommendation for a mobo from the good people at anandtech forums. I did a forum search and the only thread I could find seemed a little dated. I also need a HSF if you could recommend that too. TIA
