Hi all, I plan on ordering either the AMD X2 4200 or the 4400. There is about a 100 dollar difference in the price at Newegg, obviously due to the 4400 having the larger L2 cache ( 1mb per core versus 512 kb per core on the 4200). Both are listed as 2.2 ghz processors. I use my computer mainly...

Hello, I have a dilemma on my next computer upgrade since my Athlon 64 3200+ (754) is getting slow, especially for the newest (e.g., Oblivion, Company of Heroes, etc.) and upcoming games (e.g., Crysis, C&C3, etc.). I do non-gaming too like watch HDTV shows, DVDs, videos, listen to music, Web...

Hey group. I have come across a site selling 939 pin 64 3000 and 3200. I have contacted the site as i didnt know they were avaliable and as i want a new MB, and want a 939 socket one it looks like a good value option. They have confirmed them. Anyone know any details on the chips - as the AMD site...

Sorry guys...there is no RAM or memory specific ng out there that I can find. So if you don't mind, I'll ask it here since I've been lurking here a lot lately. I just built a new system, but when I run Everest or CPU-Z, it says my memory timing frequency is 200MHz. However, the RAM is 400MHz. ...

They claim they will surpass AMD with new cpu's this year - more powerful CPU's with less power consumption. Do you think this is true or will AMD continue to stay ahead? Is Dell still using only Intel CPU's?

I have a baffling problem with a computer I built about six months ago, based around an Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard. After a series of problems (see history, below), this computer ran fine for several weeks. Then, a couple of days ago, after several hours of heavy use, when I exited a game,...

Intel has announced that they will stop making replaceable CPU's after Haswell. From now on, all CPU's are supposed to be in BGA packaging, which means you can only attach CPU's to the motherboard by soldiering them on. You won't be seeing these in any home DIY's toolkit, so it's the end of the...

Note: The Boxed Retail AMD processor looked OK from the outside, but the green packing material housing the fan and heat sink was badly mangled and almost disintegrated. The CPU itself was secure in it plastic cover. I built a lightly loaded system with the following: AMD 4200+ X2 Asus A8V Deluxe...

I'm looking into upgrading my system, on the cheap. I've seen an ECS nForce4, Socket 939 board (combo with an Athlon 64 3000+, 256Meg). 1) Is ECS not worth buying? 2) Is 'dual channel' a function of the board, or the RAM, or both? I'm trying to go cheap, but I at least want to get what I'm...

I just purchased an Athlon 64 3400+ Socket-939 and an MSI Neo2 Platinum motherboard. I have a couple of questions since I'm relatively new to the 64-bit world. I'm considering a PowerChill Copper Cooler ( MD-TTC-1744-OPT) heatsink and would like to know if this will do for a moderate amount of...
