    What would be the Best Cooling Case

    I am thinking of getting Opteron and overclocing it and I havnt had the best of luck in the past with overclocking so far. Also would it be better to use water cooling over fans if the room your PC was in was not cooled real good? Thanks:

    Dual core Vs. Single core for gaming

    To address the original question just get a NF4 939 board and a singel AMD 64 Processor of your choice,then over clock it if ya want and wait till the programs come out to suport the Duel core's more. By then they should be a little cheaper and you can get a AMD 64 3200 for fairly cheap untill...

    I never had a Vapochill unit and would think they would help a great deal with OC ing. But read that XP 64 has Issues with geting to cold kinda like they had a low limit just like a high temp limit. The Sandiego Core was supose to fix the problem with low temp but I have not seen anything to...

    Dual Core Opteron For PreOrder

    yes Dual core is expensive so is ruing more than 1 CPU but at this time it looks like ruing 2 cpu's is a better choice than a dual core. You can get more speed if you want it runing a 2 cpu platform overe a Dual core platform, You can also get better feature's on a singel CPU MB for a lot...

    Dual Core Opteron For PreOrder

    yep you might be better off geting two 2.6gh Opetrons they are like $863 each. That is more speed for less $ and you wont have to worry about how the dual cores handel the memory.

    Athlon64 X2 will compare to a Athlon 3700+ SSE3?

    Dont rember for sure all that was said but one thing for sure for no wat least and the near future muti CPU platforms cost more and single CPU platforms have a Higher Clock rate. IE you can get a FX 55 for cheaper than two top end Opetrons. The MB also Cost more and has less features this will...

    I this was stated in a thread from AMD recently and also was cover a long time ago on building a 2 CPU system verus another 1 cpu system Anand even did a review on thos showing this to be true a good while back. It isnt a simple task to write a progam to take advantage of mutil CPU platforms

    The Old Heat sink may not work the base may not be able to make contact with both core's. if this is true the stock ones that the will come with will be good untill the vedords make some to go with the dual cores.

    Athlon64 X2 will compare to a Athlon 3700+ SSE3?

    Dont now if this will hold true for long but Dual Cpu set ups usaly run games at a slower rate unless they were made for muti thread CPU, You get advantage of dual CPU'S for Other aplications or runing two aplications at the same time IE a game and burning a CD or runing Itunes in the...
