    Q6600 or E6600?

    E6420 is a good cost-effective solution and this very similar than E6600. DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink are much beneficied with Q6600 and their four cores. If it is essencial to you, I sugest you wait the next Intel prices reductions... US$266 por a Q6600 is a big deal!

    Motherboard CPU Compatibility

    I never have seen a Socket 478 i915G based motherboard before! In Albatron's site, there's no mention for Northwood support, only Prescott. The ask is: Prescott is the faster CPU of that motherboard support or Northwood isn't supported? In Motherboard's Manual the CPU Support will indicate it...

    ASUS P5K-VM: G33 mATX Mobo

    Gigabyte's GA-G33M-DS2R is a case of small and powerfull board. I've like so much the board design: Solid capacitors (More durabillity, Gigabyte DS are one step ahead than the others with with, especially in a economic motherboard that is GA-G33M-DS2R.), a great northbridge heatsink, four DIMMs...

    AMD Phenom to launch in November

    E6400 vs E6600

    Video Editing is one of a lot of applications that really uses a large Cache to improve performance. E6420 combines the two good atributes of the E6400 and E6600: The most low-cost (E6420 usually have the same price of E6400.) and the larger cache. It's the better choice!

    E2140 vs. X2 3600+ on mATX boards

    For systems with integrated graphics actually the Athlon 64 X2 3600+ Brisbane is a better choice. First by the X2 3600+'s price, second for the IGP options for both platforms (GeForce 7050's performance is much better than GMA 950.). Consideer that the AMD platform have more options for low-cost...
