    What is the difference between ClawHammer and Newcastle?

    So, Newcastle has a smaller core and a better overclocking potential? I think I'll get Newcastle unless there is a way to unlock the extra 512KB L2 on the ClawHammer.

    What is the difference between ClawHammer and Newcastle?

    Thanks for your help. It seems point less to make a ClawHammer 2800+ if it is the exact same as the Newcastle one.

    What is the difference between ClawHammer and Newcastle?

    What is the difference between a ClawHammer AMD Athlon 64 2800+ and a Newcastle AMD Athlon 64 2800+? I plan to use this processor for my new computer, but I don't know the difference between the two (except for a $1 difference.)

    Windows 98 SE Jacks my RAM

    Windows 98 SE Jacks my RAM

    Wow. I have over 871 spyware files on my computer. I think that could be leeching massive amounts of my memory. That RAMpage program works great. Memokit never could free up system RAM on command.

    Windows 98 SE Jacks my RAM

    Yes. I have. To tell you the truth, without it, there is no way (at least I don't know) to see how much free RAM I have. I feel performance is higher, but only because there is no declining green bar in my task tray. The weird thing is while Memokit reports I have say, 40% free RAM, Windows...

    I have 512 MB of RAM on my system, and am running Windows 98 SE. I noticed that my memory continuously falls until I am left with around 33 MB. Then my computer crashes. Does anyone know why this is happening? I use antispyware, antivirus and a firwall program, but they shouldn't take up that...

    Help a US soldier in Iraq (needs a laptop suggestion)

    Or you can go for a cheaper Dell or Hp computer. The rugged one is a good choice though, just expensive.

    Help a US soldier in Iraq (needs a laptop suggestion)

    This Hp Rugged Laptop is wayover your pricing, but I'm sure that even if he did take it into battle, it will come home in one piece. Check it out here. http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/notebooks/rugged/ i will attempt to find a durable yet cheaper one.

    I'm building a new cheap computer

    The system is pretty good. What i meant, is that even if I get an FX-55 (which i won't) the only things i expect from it are: can processor words, play HL on steam read ebooks surf net. That is all of my expectations. :)

    I'm building a new cheap computer

    I haven't used my OS Disk or my Graphics card. I'll get Xp if ME is as bad as 95, but will settle for it if it is better than what I am currently using.

    I'm building a new cheap computer

    Will Socket 754 Support Windows ME? I don't think it supports TNT2 either. Currently, My computer will be either AMD Athlon 2400+ or AMD Sempron 2300+ - 2600+ 256-512MB RAM 40-80GB HDD TNT2 Graphics or a better one for no more than $30 (excludes tax) It is not a good gaming system...

    I'm building a new cheap computer

    I see what you mean. This PC is replacing my Pentium 133. I got the graphics card as a gift that I never opened. And yes, I got it 4 years ago. The Pc isn't just for HL1. Most of my software requires MMX and my Pentium dosen't have it.

    I am building a very very very basic computer for my word processing and very basic gaming needs. I don't plan to spend over $100 on a processor or $100 on RAM (seperate). The only game I will play is Half-Life 1 on Steam. I don't want to spend more than $100 on any other part of my computer...
