My first big upgrade was a 200mgz to a Celeron 300A that I clocked to 450. That was a DEAL & I loved the performance. I was happy for a while. Then it was a flip-chip P3 600 clocked at 800. I was happy. Then P4s came out, over-priced, neutered, & I jumped ship to AMD & got an 1800+ but ran it at...

Have been taking a look at the AM2 processors. What's the big deal? Is there a major performance jump for AM2 chips? Clock speeds are roughly the same. Architecture isn't that much different. DDR2 is no advantage, is it?

My first build: This rig is for gaming. Want the most stable 2 GB's (2x1GB sticks) of RAM out there for the non-OC'er. Don't know the first thing about OC'ing, just want great RAM stock out of the box - money no object. Thanks in advance. Build Specs: Lian-Li PC-75B PC Power & Cooling 510...

I have a dual 244 setup with 4x512 XMS512R-3200C2P2 memory, for a total of 2GB memory. When booting it registers all the memory, but when I look in Sandra or CPUID, is tells me only one channel memory. I am runing the 1.1 bios revision. Any idea? or is the configuration for dual channel memory...

Is there a difference between the same CPU running at 65w vs 125w? I see the same CPU on NewEgg with two different power requirements and I'm not sure what the difference is. Thanks!

I was just wondering if this is so. I saw a comparison that said it far outdid the Itanium I chip. I am also new to AMD. I was going to make the switch back when the Athlon first came out but I was afraid of change. Now that AMD has the mem controller on chip, that has peaked my interest. ...

Well my PSU and motherboard fried today so...I need to build a new computer this upcoming week. I've always used Intel in the past but I am considering to give AMD a try just for the fun of it and see what all the hype is about. Thing is, I have absolutely zero experience with AMD so I can't...

Anyone got a nice article that compares the two? I know opteron is for servers, and fx for multimedia/gaming, but I'd like to see a comparison of the two, including value for money. Thanks Martin

It seems that Wii HD, also known as Project Cafe, is going to be using an AMD R700 based GPU. While old, an R700-based GPU would be *quite* an upgrade over the Hollywood GPU in Wii which is really a 12 year old architecture since Hollywood is an overclocked Flipper GPU from ArtX designed in 1999...
