Hello all. I am planning to upgrade my computer again next month. I am at a loss on which Intel Core 2 Duo CPU to get since there are so many models: E7300 (2.66 ghz 1066 fsb) = $135 E7400 (2.8 ghz 1066 fsb) = $155 E8200 (2.66 ghz 1333 fsb) = $175 E8400 (3.0ghz 1333 fsb) = $190 E8500 (3.16ghz...

The following article is suggesting that the pipeline stages could go upto 30 stages (50% increase over current P4). This is all to be able to get to the 4Ghz mark: http://news.com.com/2100-1006_3-5144907.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=news Yousuf Khan

I just put together an: Intel P4 3.2 gig Prescott core with an Intel brand HSF that is rated for the 3.2 chip, on an Intel 865PERL mobo 512 Mb Ram Antec CS600B full tower case with 2 80mm intake fans in front and 2 80mm exhaust fans in rear. 400 watt power supply with 2 80mm fans. ATI AIW 9800 pro...

I'm currently putting together the specs to build myself a new system (something I do every couple of years). I am looking at Intel CPU's and I see that I have a choice between a Pentium 4 3.2 GHz Hyperthreaded CPU or a Dual Core 2.8 GHz CPU for about the same price. But, I have noticed that the...

Pentium D's going from 130W to 95W, and Pentium 4's going from 86W to 65W. http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=34149

I purchased a E-6600 duel core 2.4 gh cpu, Asus pl5 vm 1394 & corsair 667 memory verified by corsair to work with this m\board which it does. a serial 3.2 g hard drive, all work. However I am very disappointed with the performance this system produces.All the reviews say this is a very fast...

Intel is predicting that it will be at 4Ghz by the end of 2004, with the introduction of the 90nm Prescott processor. Of course there's word that the initial versions of Prescott are already using well over 100W of energy, near the 3Ghz mark, one can only imagine how much a 4Ghz will take....

Intel is introducing a new Pentium 4 version for gaming, sporting 2MB of L2 cache, known as Pentium 4 Extreme Edition. Sounds like a single-processor Xeon to me: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=581&ncid=581&e=2&u=/nm/20030917/tc_nm/tech_intel_gaming_dc Yousuf Khan

Looking to build my own system and seeking opinions on what are the best components (motherboard, etc.) to use on a mid-range performing system. Not interested in using it for high performace gaming and the like. But would like to put together a P4 system, 800 MHz bus, etc. Any thoughts?

My new CPU is an Intel P4 (Prescott) running at 3.0GHz. The CPU temperature is between 62-70C. Is that OK? It's higher than I'm used to (usually AMD CPUs which run cooler than this). Cheers. Bobby

Suggests that the followon generation to the Prescott Pentium 4 is no longer following on. There might already be an AMD64-capable Pentium M ready to take its place. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=15749 Yousuf Khan -- Humans: contact me at ykhan at rogers dot com

P4 Ultranetburst 30Ghz cpu running at 400watts requiring Mainframe class cooling and power requirements, all this to view some porn and type up some letters.

Am I missing something or is it true that Intel has made zilcho case for Prescott over Northwood at the same speed? Let's see: you mean my computer can be noiser and hotter for no reason... umm, er... I'll pass. I remember when Handy Andy went out of business here. 3 to 6 months or so before that...

Apparently a Dutch company is still running an old 8088 IBM PC-XT computer from 1983. HP & Intel cosponsored the contest. And so the company won 4 brand new P4 computers -- but they're still not going to give up the old XT. The contest was put on because so many companies have refused to...

A full PC handheld, called the OQO, is due to be released later this year. This is not just some Windows CE PDA, this is a full PC capable of running Windows XP (or likely even Linux, of course). Comes with a built-in 20GB HD, and an 800x480 LCD display, 256MB RAM, and a Transmeta processor. And...

So now I have a choice in 800 MHz P4 processors - I can get the "D" chip built at 0.13 micron or the "E" chip built at 90 nm. Common sense tells me the smaller the processing, the higher the potential for error (and meltdown). On the other hand, the newer chips tend to see improvements in the line...

What exactly is this article saying? That IBM is now encouraging other manufacturers to clone and extend its Power chips? http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=620&e=2&u=/nf/20040401/bs_nf/23584 Yousuf Khan

The fan on my CPU is whining. My processor is an Intel Pentium II 633. When opening up my PC, I noticed the fan is a Sanyo-Denki 10x6512H1106 Does anyone know where I can find replacement CPU fans for older processors?

Not sure what type of memory I need, It would be easy if I had a 100 or 133 HHz bus, but I have a 67 MHz, the only SDRAM I see offered comes in 100 and 133. I looked a the chip, but that has no identification/specs written on it. I put XP on this computer and about all it can do id boot up,...
