    Can anyone explain the difference between Dual Core and Dual CPUs?

    I don't use a popup blocker, and I don't use IE, I use Firefox, though I have tried with IE and I have the same problem. I use Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D, and I still have the problem after having run a full virus scan with Norton and a full spyware scan with both programs.

    Can anyone explain the difference between Dual Core and Dual CPUs?

    Sorry, I meant the two single core Xeons. Would two single core Xeon 3.8s be better than a dual core 2x3.2?

    Can anyone explain the difference between Dual Core and Dual CPUs?

    I know this is an old thread, but it is appropriate to my question. I was thinking, once games are written to address two separate cores, won't dual CPU systems become more powerful than dual core. What I am saying is, when Intel release their Pentium 4 840 (2x3.2GHz), won't dual Xeon DP...

    Does One need HD Drivers For a New Rig?

    If you want to install a fresh copy of Windows onto a SATA drive, you need a floppy which should come with your motherboard to make the installation software recognize the drive during installation.

    Best Memory for K8N Neo2 Platinum

    From what I have seen, OCZ Platinum Rev2 DDR400 performs the best. I think an article on the Anandtech main pages reviewed a load of RAM, and that came out best - It was also used to OC a Winchester 3000+ to 2610MHz with that motherboard.

    New processors!?

    The 3000+ A64 (90nm Winchester) is probably the best CPU you could buy for cheap OCing potential. I know several friends who have them running at a variety of speeds from 2.4GHz to 2.6GHz on air. I don't know what would be possible using water (If anyone does know that would be great), but on...

    Questions about new SLI system build...

    Yes, there should be PCI-E SLi capable 6800 Ultras soon (They have been benchmarked/tested and I think nVIDIA have confirmed 6800Us will be SLi compatible). I would expect them to become available in late January at the earliest. The problem is a pair of 6800Us will sound extremely noisy, where...

    Questions about new SLI system build...

    A pair of 6800GTs in SLi at load consume 244W, and an A64 is around 89W I think. Then there's RAM (20W), a pair of HDDs in Raid are about 50W, there's also a DVD-RW and DVD-ROM consuming 25W each, a Creative SB is 7W (All other PCI are 5), 5W for each USB slot (You probably use about 4 devices...
