New quads and the sockets in which they will work?
Hi all,
I would like to get a single socket motherboard now that will take the quads that come out shortly. Is this even possible? What I am hoping for is a 1000 like opteron quad that will run at or near 3.0 GHz and throttle down to low power sleep mode when not doing anything. Is there anything like this in the works? The target function is media support and real cheap on electricity when left on 24/7. thanks, charles.... |

If you're talking about dvr use, you'd just be wasting your money and cpu power buying any cpu that cost more than $59. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |

I built a core2duo system with the lowest c2duo chip I could get and it does PVR, Streaming Media, and file ripping just fine.. If your looking for a media box then I think you should concentrate on the video card and sound card.. (until we get VR type movies I doubt multi-core processors will be needed for media) |

(until we get VR type movies I doubt multi-core processors will be needed for media) The Athlon64 X2 6000+ comes close but does not have VT or hyperthreading or low power or 4 cores just 2. But, it only costs $160. later...... .. |
