if you guys are giong to spend a few hundred on a CPU then i cant see how you cant get dual core. i say venice 3000 and the next step is X2 3800, nothing in between.

i posted this but figured you'd never find it in there... iamwiz82, these are for x86 servers. they have OPTERONS in them. they're bad-ass. cheap, cool, fast, stable. the sparc stuff, might have been good for its time when there werent excellent commodity servers, but now there are. so...

also, it depends which turion. check out http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/Pro...ormation/0,,30_118_12651_12659,00.html you can see that the ML line is 35W and the MT line is 25W. unfortunately, it seems hard to find a 25W version. can't figure out why? everyone seems to be using the...

oops, thanks this was the link http://www.fatwallet.com/t/18/484824 but i guess you're right, there are better deals out there. just found something similar for about 100 dollars on FW. damn! i'm not going to lose any sleep over it though, i did well. so i guess my big point is that...

agreed, this one looks real good. http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm...957-64295-89315-321838-f33-471753.html

if u want something out of the box, http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/messageview.php?catid=1...key=y&keyword1=t3101 got it for my parents. its actually pretty good. and it comes with a dvd burner. needs ram though. the hard drive is LOUD! it uses a via chipset with integrated video. i...

ummm, not sure if its the vid card or the chip. i'd look at some benches on the web for your platform, you could probably figure out where the problem is. if you decide to upgrade the chip, check out the venice core 3000 A64. its not a huge upgrade, but its a fantastic overclocker, so you...

wow, there's an %80 market share for AMD on this poll!

there is a 25W amd turion part that should be really good. also, 25W for an A64 includes the memory controller which the centrino does not have on die. the mem controller isn't factored into the P-M's numbers, but will surely make its chipset work a lot harder, prob a few watts worth. so...

old school style. K7, barton core, 2500. its fine for me, i run linux and don't play games. i'll let it run a few more years and upgrade it to some 128 core, 10THz, AMD K43.

http://www.mwave.com/mwave/ViewProducts...U&DNAME=Motherboard+Bundles+By+AMD+CPU i hope this link works but its for cpu/mobo bundles on mwave. you can pick up a socket 754 sempron and mobo, which should outpreform a athlon xp. its not 64 bit, but niether is the AXP. if you wanna be...

http://theinquirer.net/?article=22289 it shouldn't be long! this article says you can get dual core opterons this month.

the geode, as far as i know is a business to business product. in otherwords, you're a company building a device using the geode, they'll sell you a thousand chips. its not neecssarily available in the consumer market. or is it? not really sure. but it is possible that someone is selling a...

yeah its really cool! fast and fanless, can't beat that! as far as how you can get it, don't know, but i wish i did. those sites all have info and links. i suspect that if you read all that and follow the links around, you'll find something. also read the comments on the anantech link...

check these out... you can prob do something with this... http://www.mini-itx.com/news/76391757/ http://www.anandtech.com/news/shownews.aspx?i=22942 these are fast as they are athlons, but only use 6W and 14W. the 6W version doesnt need a fan. sweet! there are probably mini-itx...
