    Any more LGA775 Processors on the horizon?

    Are there going to be any more quad-core CPUs for socket 775? I'm not so sure about the public sector, but I'd think the server segment of 775 is still alive? If so, is there any chance for a "refresh" or a final release of "excess inventory" from warehouses? What are the "best" server...

    1.5 Vcore for 3.2 GHZ for a RO Q9400? 1.4 for 2.66ghz stock?

    It's very strange, I just upgraded to a Quad-Core Q9400 in my P5N-E SLI mobo and updated my bios to 1403. I've tweaked all the settings perfectly, it all comes down to Vcore. It WILL NOT load windows at stock volts, and only becomes stable at 1.4vcore @ 2.66 What's really weird is that it...

    BAD TIME to be "Homeless" No excuse to "beg" in this economy. Hard-Working people NEED every penny.

    It really disturbs me how a transient; homeless by choice, has the audacity to still harass people that are struggling in this rife economy? :confused: Entire families are losing their homes, and themselves are becoming homeless while giving all their efforts. :brokenheart: This country is...

    Which Intel 45nm Quad should I be hunting for and what stepping? Final upgrade for my 775-DDR2 system.

    All right ladies and boys, just found out my mobo can take one of those newer 45nm quads and it can overclock the hell out of it. I'm already doing 450 FSB w/ my E8400, which I understand is extremely lucky with my mobo in the first place. Theoretically, I should be able to hit 3.6GHZ with a...

    Custom Motherboard sounds? Can I make it play a tune on startup?

    The ultimate question is, can I make my motherboard play Kanye West's "Flashing Lights" at startup in one way or another? Through the motherboard speaker, or maybe PC speakers?

    Have not seen the CPU section in 6 months, so very SCARED to LOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've got enough going on and I want someone to give it to me straight? Is it safe it to look in the CPU section without totally feeling inadequate, meaning I might just go off myself or something? Or should I peek in after the holidays?

    Advice on 8800GT SLI Oblivion Drivers XP 32-bit?

    Could one core use all of the Q6600's 8mb cache if an application could take advantage of it?

    I wanted to share an early hypothesis as well. Theoretically, a quad-core should be superior in all single-threaded apps solely due to more cache available to that working core. Say if you disabled 2 of the q6600s cores: clock-for-clock, an 8mb dual core should perform better than a 6mb dual...

    My E2140 (L2 stepping) crapped out on me at 2.9 GHZ

    I was able to hit 3.0GHZ but ORTHOS was still crashing my system at 1.5 vcore and I was hitting some high temps. It seems to be pretty stable right now, but is there anything I should worry about performance wise? I'm only concerned with gaming atm, and would this chip carry me...

    Building a Super Computer - I Need to take a Qx6850 to 4.8GHZ

    I don't want to use server parts. I need the fastest possible configuration w/ OCing. I Want to take a QX6850 to 4.8GHZ(533x9) Can I get this with a P35 board + DDR3 1066 + Water Cooling? Or a 680i board with 8800 Ultras x 3?

    Is Penryn going to finish AMD off once and for all?

    Then C2D came along and it was 40%(rough estimate) faster than AMD.... So when AMD finally starts shipping it's next gen CPUs, how are they going to overcome such an overwhelming performance gap in the face of Penryn? I believe in order for AMD to stay afloat they must surpass Penryn...

    E4400 vs E6320

    The E4400 is 140 mhz faster than the E6320, but has half as much cache. Overclocking aside, which chip performs better at stock speeds? Does the extra 2mb cache beat out the slightly faster clock of the E4400?

    How long will a E6400@ 3.2GHZ "future proof" me for gaming?

    I was wondering about this, where speed won't be an issue but the number of cores will be. As more multithreaded apps and games emerge, they'll take advantage of more cores. In light of this, I think the best investment is quad core or at the very least the cheapest chip you can get by on now.

    Is there anyway to migrate all your installed apps to a new system without having to manually reinstall them all?

    If you install a new CPU and the mobo doesn't even post, is it a sign of a bad cpu?

    How come Graphics cards are getting more powerful, but require more power than ever? Where's the efficiency?

    Are really advancing in technology here? CPUs are getting smaller, cheaper, more powerful and consuming less energy. It seems graphics cards are getting more powerful, but also larger, hotter, costlier and using more energy than ever. From a technological standpoint this doesn't make sense.

    Lifetime warranties are great marketing tools.

    It's rather safe nowadays to offer a lifetime warranty on a product instead of a standard 5-year, 3-year or sometimes 1-2 year warranties. Companies lose absolutely nothing because most users will upgrade their components before the "time-limited" warranties end. So the companies actually make...
