Hi,I have an odd problem. I run a P4 3.2 GHz computer. It's not multi-cpu, but on the device manager, it shows that I have two P4 processors. Also on the My Computer Properties tab, it shows that I have two CPU's... one 3.20 GHz and the other changes from time to time. The last time I checked, it said 3.19 GHz, before that it said 2.80 GHz. I'm not sure if this is related, but when I run SETI on boinc(which is set to run 100% of available procesor cap) it only runs on 50% and the rest is taken by the System Idle Process. Also, the on the Task Manager screen, when I right click on a service/program, I have the option to set the processor affinity, to either CPU 0 or CPU 1.So my computer is acting like it has two cpu's, where it has only one. This started only yesterday(as far as I know).My question is, is this some kind of misconfiguration(although i did not change any system settings), a virus, etc , and how to fix it.Thanks in advance for any help.
Could you post a screen shot??? What kind of virus protection are you using??? This may very well be a virus, but I have yet to see anything like that.
Question: Which NICs have onboard processors?
I'm setting up a pentium 166 MHz box with FreeBSD to act as a home router. I'm wondering which network cards have the onboard processors? I would like to install network cards that have onboard processors to reduce CPU load.
Answer:Which NICs have onboard processors?
intel and 3com NIC's should work for you. Usually anything over $30, and not the bargain d-link/netgear/linsys/Realtek cards.
I buy my intel nic's from newegg for around $30 i think.
I dunno if it is a problem i have or maybe it good but when i go to device manager or type dxdiag or anything else that will show you your computer spec, it will show me that i have two processors running while i have only one. It tellse me that i have two pentiume 4 3.0ghz cpu and in device manager it actualy shows both of them , but the reality is i have only one and my board doesnt even support all the dual technolagy. So my question is: Is it bad for my computer to think that i have two CPU's and also how ca i get rid of that problem?
I hope this is a good place to post this. Today I upgraded my X2 processor with a AMD Phenom-II X4 965. Put it in, booted, went to bios and optimized default setting and saved. Reran the system performance and it increased, but noted that the cpu gadget only showed two cores. Downloaded CPU-Z and it only shows two cores. Can anyone point me in the direction of getting this issue solved?? Thanks for any assistance.
What does it show where I have it circled?
(Start>run>msconfig - Boot, then advanced options.
Restart, check again to see if it reset and recognized the 4 cores.
Note: I have only used CPU-Z with a 2 core system, never a 4 core. I wouldn't think it would be any different, but can't be positive.
System information and DirectX are both showing that i have 2 processors.
I don't know what kind of processor you have, but perhaps you simply have an Pentium 4 with hyperthreading technologie. That means you have one physical and one simulated processor.
I just purchased 4 X1 Carbon i7's and noticed that Device Manager (Windows 7 64 bit) is showing only 4 processors instead of 8. My HP desktops, which are also i7's, show 8 Processors (4 physical cores, 4 hyperthreaded cores). The X1 bios shows hyperthreading is enabled and the msconfig file is not limiting the number of cores. Any idea how to re-enable the missing processors?
There may be a quad-core option but I'm not seeing it. What is your machine type (like 1234-xyz)?
Hey everyone! new at this forum, looks like a cool place.
So, last night, my pc ran the windows update at shutdown and then this morning when I turned it on and checked msconfig, it only showed one processor at boot, but since I bought it and up until yesterday (cause I checked yesterday) It showed two processors. should I be worried about this? is there a way for me to bring it back to its former state? Please help!
That "number of processors" box should normally be left unchecked.
Question: onboard nic not showing up?
not sure if its a glitch in windows xp, i update my computer whenever its available, so idk what the problem is.
it isnt a big issue, just an annoyance rather, any help would be appreciated!
Answer:onboard nic not showing up?
Try uninstalling it then reistalling it.
BTW that is a real wierd problem.
basicly when i turn on my computer 9/10 times the onboard ethernet doesnt show up, its enabled in the bios and its drivers are installed, any ideas what could be causing this ?
There are several mobo's on the market that have known onboard LAN issues. I know the Biostar TForce4U board has known issues (although I have yet to encounter them - I have a spare NIC standing by).
Looks like they do have known issues. Sorry man.
Earlier today I downloaded a driver-updating software in hopes of getting my almost-dead dvd-drive to work. Well, the program found out that my motherboard drivers were outdated and updated them. (I'm using a M4N68T-M V2 mobo) After the update I noticed that I couldnt connect to Internet and found out that my network adapter wasnt even showing up in device manager because the awesome software had downloaded drivers for a different motherboard model. So I uninstalled the faulty nForce chipset drivers and installed the correct ones from the cd that came with the motherboard. No change. So now I basically have no access to the Internet except with my iPhone (with which I'm typing this message) and have no idea why the network card isnt showing up anywhere. In device management there are no components with missing drivers and in bios the onboard network card is enabled. So does anyone have any idea whats the problem?
I'm running a winxp 32-bit with an Asus M4N68T-M V2 with NVIDIA nForce 630a chipset.
You need to flash your BIOs. Download the file HERE for the CD-Rom .iso. Burn this to a CD, and then reboot your computer with the optical drive as first boot device. You do not want to flash from within Windows, that oftentimes causes problems.
I've spent the last 2 days including today working on and searching for solutions to this problem and no matter what I do I get no where.
First off I have a Gateway GT5676 that I just got a few months back and it came with Vista 64 bit Home Premium edition. I recently had to reinstall and kept it as the 64bit because it was kinda recommended during the install lol. Now I'm not sure if it was there before I reinstalled but under my network connections all it shows is that NVidia Controller thing and nothing else. I've tried getting drivers from the gateway site, which for some reason install in Japanese or Chinese whatever which is weird. I am able to find different slightly newer drivers from the Marvel site (it's marvel onboard network) and that is in English but I cannot install it because it says I have to uninstall the one I have first. I cannot see my network adapter so how the hell can I do that? My internet WORKS, all networking stuff seems to work, except I'm trying to hook up a tunnel program like XBconnect and/or Xlink. So I can play a certain game with someone else because we need updates off and that kicks us off Live. The problem is I cannot select my network adapter so that would be the reason they aren't working correct? Any ideas why this is or am I just stuck with what I got unless I install 32bit or XP?
Hi BlackRob183 and welcome to MGs.
First off I think you should uninstall the cards you added from device manager and then physically remove them. Then try accessing your BIOS, should be a specific key at boot screen to enter, and once there disabling your on-board adapter, restart, access BIOS again and re-enable adapter.
See if that gets the adapter back into device manager.
Question: AMD processors better for gaming & Intel processors better for video editing?
I've read several times in the forums that it's better to use AMD processors for gaming and Intel ones for photo/video editing. Can somebody pls explain why. Thanks!

not, or is there any patch which we can apply to the OS so that it can take all the 4 physical processors.
What are the hardware limitations of Windows 7 64 bit ?
Question: Selecting processors in 'Msconfig' to maximum which really doesn't exists (I use Intel Core i3210 and not 4 processors as shown in 'Msconfig') runs Windows 8 into trouble.
you see I have a Dell XPS 15z laptop with a core i7 processor, 8 Giga RAM running Windows 7 Premium and I also have an HP desktop with a core two duo processor, 3 Gigs of ram running Windows 7 Professional but surprizingly the desktop runs faster than the laptop when I give them both tthe same task on Photoshop CS6 ( a processor heavy application). I feel that I have been cheated into buying the Dell laptop which at the time of purchase was expensive in the is country.
Is it a multithreaded application, so are tasks split in many subtasks and use different cores?
Im working on building a server and I need an AMD processor in it. Right now, im looking at AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Dual Core Processor Model ADA3800BVBOX for $322. The purpose of this server is just a place that 4 computers can access. Its not going to be set up as a server, but just Windows XP without a monitor. Im running an intel pentium 4 on the computer holding the network right now, and it is doing fine. Sometimes its just a little slow. So, I would like a little better than a Pentium 4, but AMD. Also, less then $322. What can I get?
On my win7 64bit Thinkpad x230i I can no longer type with either the onboard or external keyboards. The onboard mouse does not work either. The only thing that does work is an external USB mouse.
So far I have tried to reinstall the Synaptics drivers from Lenovo, reinstall USB drivers from Lenovo, download a BIOS update, and update Logitech setpoint. None of those worked.
Also, when I go to Device Manager and I right click on the mouse and keyboards it says that I have the most up-to-date drivers. I tried to do a System Restore, but Windows says that I do not have have any restore points created.
Is my only option to reinstall windows?
I would go into Device Manager...uninstall the native mouse and keyboard drivers...and then reboot the system. Those drivers should automatically reinstall with (hopefully) undamaged new drivers that return original functionality.
Question: Onboard sound not "onboard"
I built my computer with a Chaintech 7NJL6 mobo, which is suppose to have C-Media AC97 onboard sound. After getting all the bugs worked out(or so I thought) I have no sound. I have no little speaker in the task bar and windows does not find/recognize any sound devices. But I can open the generic CD player manually and play a audio CD. So my speakers do work and my drive is reading the CD. Any help would be appriciated.
Goto start/programs/accessories/entertainment and open volume control from there. Make sure nothing is muted, except the microphone. You say you can play an audio CD OK. What are you not getting sound in, everything else? Did you see the sound device in the device manager?
Hi, my computer is a dell dimension 1100, with a Linksys WMP54G wifi card, running vista home basic.
So, In the wifi thing in the notification area, it shows two wireless networks, One is my normal SSID (Lower Net), and one is "Unidentified network". They are both on one wireless connection (Wireless Network Connection 3). When i try to go on the internet, it says i'm not connected. i tried disconnecting from the unidentified network, but that disconnects me from lower net too. Thanks For Any Help In Advance!!!
QuoteIT show zero bytes in bios and not shown in windows explorer,I see it in Device manager,wit zero space.The Bios recognizing the drive is the lowest level of recognition. If not recognized at this level its usually a jumper setting, cable issue, or Bios needs to be flashed with a newer version.Is this hard drive an IDE (PATA) drive or a newer SATA drive for starters?If it is a IDE (PATA) drive it could be jumper set wrong, (Master(MA), Slave(SL), Cable Select(CS))If its a SATA drive I'd try a different SATA cable with it to rule that out.*I wouldnt jump into flashing your Bios with an update unless you find information supporting a known issue with the version you are running and hard drives. A bad flash can kill certain motherboards that dont have Bios protection that can revert back on wrong or failed flashes.
Have recently formatted my laptop and re installed Windows on my normal HDD because i have a small SSD since formatting my SSD and deleting and renewing the old partition, in windows explorer and disk management i can no longer see my SSD. I can see my SSD in Bios and in the Intel Rapid storage technology app, but cannot understand why i cannot use my SSD, Any help would be much appreciated.
Does this laptop have 2 hard drive bays? Did it always have 2 hard drives?
What does "deleting and renewing the old partition" mean?
What I suspect is that the SSD has a partition that is still marked ACTIVE. Windows will boot from one Active partition and ignore the other. So if the SSD has just one partition that is marked active then the whole drive would be ignored.
If you deleted the partition in Disk Management or some 3rd party program then that would have taken care of the Active flag on that partition. But if you just deleted the contents of the partition that would have left the flag.
Let us know what you did.
EDIT: I should add: any partition that contained an operating system will have the active flag. This is not something you would have had to do yourself.
I do have "Show hidden files, folders and drives" checked under folder options as well.
I use this software on a regular basis. I'd suggest limiting it's use to only one problem folder on your machine as a test run.
Run the program with admin rights then from the GUI choose Add Folder then browse to your test folder. Additionally choose the option to delete Unknown Files and also untick the option to Create Backup Files.
Then choose Start and when the cleanup is completed there is an option to save a log file. Save the log file somewhere and have a look at it to view the results.
Additionally you could run the program again choosing the Delete Corrupt Files option.
If you're happy with the results - go ahead and add the other remaining folders or directories to be cleaned.
I've never encountered any problems using this software but as always before running any sort of cleaning product it's best to at least create a system restore point to fall back on and ideally have a system image backup handy.
Question: Headphone not showing up in playback devices; jack saying it's showing up. No sound.
Hi guys, I am fairly new to this website and would absolutely LOVE if someone could help me figure out this problem.
The laptop has a build in SoundBlaster Recon3Di, with an intel display audio. This problem just started happening yesterday before I went to work, and when I came back the headphones wouldn't work. I thought the headphones were the problem so I tried testing them on two different computers and they weren't working.
I went to get some new ones, and tried plugging them in and they didn't pick up either.The jacks do show that they pick up when the headphones are plugged in, just no sound will play. Speakers work perfectly fine but I listen to music all the time and need to have headphones that work. The laptop is fairly new so I know it's not a problem that persists with that..
Answer:Headphone not showing up in playback devices; jack saying it's showing up. No sound.
Sorry guys, forgot to add this into the main post.
Question: File folder is not showing in my pen drive, showing it is empty.
Answer:File folder is not showing in my pen drive, showing it is empty.
The problem could be because all the data that was present inside the pen drive now have become system files by the virus. This is the reason why they are not visible even with the option "Show Hidden files and folders".
To remove the problem this is what you need to do.
2. Make sure that your Show Hidden files and folders option is enabled.
where filename is the complete location of the file.
Let me know if it solved your problem.
Hello,I have had this computer less than 2 months. Yoga 11s. I have not transferred any of my files from my old computer; have only downloaded a couple of simple apps and the MS office and the occasional movie and my computer is saying my HD is full. Today I tried to download a movie only 600 mb and it paused and said I don't have enough space tho when I look, there is more than 2 GB on my HD. The other fun thing that I've spent hours trying to figure out is that my windows 8 OS is also showing full memory; again have barely done anything on this computer. It offered the disk check bit where it compresses and gets rid of old files, but 1 hour later, bet the same message and it's showing RED--almost at max capacity. So frustrated. Can you offer any suggestions?
Double post of http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tablets-and/Windows-8-OS-taking-up-more-than-100-GB-o... ?
I was updating my graphics driver and had to restart the pc. When it started booting back up it took like 10 minutes to get to the windows login screen. Then I noticed that some of my program icons were missing. So when trying to figure out why I noticed my harddrive was missing in explorer. When I go to Disk Management this is what I see http://prntscr.com/g3b3em. Disk 1 is a mechanical drive that was working fine before updating my graphics driver. Right Clicking on it gives me these options ( Convert To Basic Disk, Reactivate, Offline) I tried to reactivate but nothing happens.
Anyone got any ideas how to fix this error or repair the drive? I can't repair it with chkdsk cause the volume isn't showing up for it.
Hi. For starters, that first partition (D) shouldn't have a letter at all. It's a system, boot partition and with a letter to it some programs or even you can mistakenly use it.
Disk 1 does have a problem but drivers are installed to C: partition and nowhere else (part of the system) so it's not probable that driver is the cause of it obliviously failing. If you know it's make and model you could download and use a program for it's manufacturer to check it: One from here: Download Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Tools Tools for Windows - MajorGeeks or from it's manufacturer's site. Until you know it's real physical shape you will not be able to troubleshoot it properly.
Question: 500GB HD showing 99%full - WinDirStat showing 133GB used?
My HD says it is 99% full. However, I have read all of the posts here for assistance, used disk clean-up, culled unwanted programs/files etc. and the size continues to grow.
I ran WinDirStat and it shows that only approx. 133gb is being used -- which is far more realistic.
I have ran a full system virus scan with Bitdefender.
Thanks for your quick attention. I appreciate your help.
Answer:500GB HD showing 99%full - WinDirStat showing 133GB used?
I've got a new SSD drive to try and regurgitate an old Samsung laptop. The SSD drive shows up fine in windows setup and I can format it etc. but when I go to continue with the setup it comes up with the error ""Windows cannot be installed to this disk this computer's hardware may not support booting this disk ensure that disk's controller is enabled in the computer BIOS menu."
I've tried every option in BIOS including making sure AHCI is selected. I'm completely stumped. Laptop is a Samsung RV510 and it has the latest BIOS version.
I've had good luck with similar issues by clearing out its saved networks, then trying to connect again.
Close Internet Explorer then go to Control Panel -> Internet Options -> "General" section -> "Delete" button. Make sure that only "Temporary Internet files" is ticked then click the "Delete" button. Reopen IE and see if that's worked.
what's happening is the drive hasn't been formatted so it's not showing up in windows because there isn't really anything there. You have to go to disk management and format the drive.
Okay so this is the second time I have come across this issue. The first time I ran deep virus and malware scans to no avail, ran CCleaner and updated all drivers as well as checking startup items and finding nothing unusual. I ended off having to re-install windows and this fixed this issue for a couple of months but its now returned and I have no idea whats causing it, it slows my PC down horribly making gaming and general use basically impossible.
I have tried updating drivers, virus and malware scans as well as running advanced systemcare again with no result. It goes without saying that the random usage doesn't add up on task manager, everything at idle will add up to about 15% which is what realtemp reports however displays 100% usage at the top. Its also worth noting that the temps get no higher than 35 degrees celcius.
If this is posted in the wrong forum I really do apologize, I couldn't quite find one it fit into any better than this.
You may wish to use a tool like Process Explorer, part of sysinternals to get a better view of what is happening.
I learned from @Borg386 you can also do some virus checking within tool, which I haven't done myself. You can google this to determine if right for you.
" You can also use it to check all processes to see if there is malware present. Go to Options/VirusTotal/Check VirusTotal.com. Click on it, accept the agreement & it will show the results in a column on the left. "
I need a cheap laptop.Looked at two-both HP.One has a N2920 Processor and the other N3530.What is the difference?
The bottom one is faster.

I have a Presario V6000 with AMD Turion 64 Processor. I am using XP w/sp2. When sp3 came out I installed it and lost everything on my computer. I had warranty on it so HP was able to talk me through a rebooting and reinstall of xp. I have been using xp since 2009 without sp3 but keeping up with other MS updates. I now need to install TurboTax but cannot as it requires SP3. I have installed HP's fix then MS fix which will not install. It says that "your system does not meet the requirements for this update. (9998). What am I missing?
does anyone know a good substitute for a amd athlon xp 3200+socket A(462)512 L2 cache barton PLEASE HELP ????
Not sure what you mean by a good substitute. Do you mean a similar CPU that will fit the same m/b, or another type of CPU with similar performance but with a different socket type?Please expain.
Dear All,I want to know about difference between Intel and AMD processor.I asked my friends they told that the AMD processor is getting more heat compare to Intel processor. Is this correct?Give some other differences.
I have been told that the OEM should be the cheaper of the two.
Have no idea. How about a link to the site?
Perhaps the OEM includes a motherboard... AMD has recently dropped their prices (again) as their top in Quad parts don't sell as well. AMD's best market area is under $100 CPUs.
hello, I have a celeron 2.0 Ghz processor.Can I run a new celeron processor in the same motherboard?
Depends on the MBoard...which one is it ? ?
I am buying a laptop and have pretty much decided on everything i want, however the processor stage is confusing me. I have always bought computers in the past based on their GHz (my current desktop is 3.2 GHz, and i understand how that compares to others).
As i was browsing the Dell gaming notebooks, the Duo Core processors were only clocked up to about 2.16GHz. A similarly specced laptop with a Pentium 4 HT 3.2GHz processor seemed relatively similar in price. Does the duel core processor actually have 1GHz less power. The AMD Turion from Alienware was only 2.4Ghz. Does this mean it has .8Ghz less power?
I want to buy a computer with a processor equivalent or better to my Pentium 4 HT at 3.2GHz, and i don't care about weight or power. I don't paticularly like the laptops i have seen so far with the Pentium 4 chips because i am not getting the 512mb 7900 NVidia i want. Help?
GHZ haven't meant much for a while and now they mean Nothing!
The Core Duo is likely better then the P4 3.2, depending on the exact model, but it should be a better choice.
The Turion will be just as good or even better then the Core Duo.
ok i have a duo core processor with 2 ghz i believe, but i see that there is a quad core processor at 2.4 ghz now i kno that a quad core is better but when i look at the ghz it looks to me like its only slightly better or is 2.4ghz substantially better...Also what about the core i7 at 2.6ghz is that also substantially better than a quad core at 2.4 or what???
will depend on the program you are using, some are wrote to take advantage of all those cores, some aren't.
I believe core i7 is about what? 10-15% faster than 45nm core 2 quad?
Hi, all. I have a noob question about my processor. I just bought a AMD Barton 2500+. It says that it's supposed to run at 1.833 GHz. I looked in my system properties, and it says its running at 1.10 GHz. I kow my motherboard can handle the chip. Is there a setting in my bios that will goose the processor to the speed it needs to be?
Is it because the processor has a 333 MHz bus?
I don't know. Anyone that can help, I would appreciate it.
what ia the minimal mhz of processor that u would advise to have for the use of b-band internet acsess as ive got a 750mhz processor and ive got b-band which seem to work ok but am i getting the full benifit for my money or not as i still have time to cancell my account if not so plz give me your veiws thankyoufor all the help i get.
how do I know if my intel pentium D processor is a 32bit or a 64bit?
or are all dual core processors now are 64bit?
Question: 2 AMD processors. WHICH ONE?
Answer:2 AMD processors. WHICH ONE?
I have a 1.4GHz TBird and its ment to be 1.4GHz but is more 1407MHz thats is very good getting extra without even overclocking basically Atlon XP is newer but seems to be crap like 2000 XP is reall 1700+ and 22000XP is lower so why is that why is 2000XP not 2GHz?

Answer:Which one of these Processors is best?
i have recently acquired an alienware laptop area-51 m9750 running windows 7 premium.
on the normal startup the laptop will run for about 5 minutes before it goes black. on safe mode startup it has not gone black even after being on for hours.
i checked device manager for any issues and noticed there are 2 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz listed.
my question is should there be 2 processors listed? and if not does it matter which one i uninstall.
If there are two cores, it should be listed twice in Device Manager. Don't mess with that.
This sounds like a software issue. First, I would download the latest software/drivers, but do not install the package. After that, completely uninstall all software with RevoUninstaller. Then uninstall the GPU driver in Device Manager.
Reboot, and then install the latest drivers/software which you downloaded. Let us know how it works out.
Question: How many processors do I have?
How do I tell if I have 2 processors running, and can I make full use of them if I have two?
Answer:How many processors do I have?
Look inside your case. If you don't see two CPU cooling systems, you have one physical processor. You propably have one dual-core processor, and you're propably taking full advantage of the both cores.
I am in the market for a new PC and definitely want one with at least a 1.0 Ghz processor. I am confused however by all of the different types of processors now. I have owned 2 PC and one had a Cyrix processor and the other an AMD. I haven't experienced much difficulty with either of these systems as far as the processors go, but really need some direction is determining what I want now. I believe the best is a Pentium 4, is that true? What is the major difference between the Pentium and Celeron processors too? Any help of references to sites with this information would be greatly appreciated.
Question: 2 Processors? I only have one!
My computer has been acting real slow, like 10-30 FPS on games I used to get steady 60 on. All this happened after I reformatted. I checked the device manager, because it claims to have recovered from a serious error involving hardware drivers. It claims that I have a multi-processor PC, and I have 2 Intel Pentium 4 CPUs onboard (3.00 GHZ), and I know for sure this is not true. Could this be the cause for slow games? If so, how do I fix it? Also, my games won't run now, because they claim that I don't have a compatible sound card. I'm not even sure where to get all the drivers I need, if thats the problem.
EDIT: The bios also claims that the CPU is running at 75 degrees celsius, and is in red sometimes when I boot up.
Answer:2 Processors? I only have one!
Question: Can I use either of these AMD processors?
BTW I can't see any writing on my original processor or I would have just matched it.
Answer:Can I use either of these AMD processors?
It's a Dual Core and as such having 2 in Device Manager is normal.

Can anyone tell me if a 32bit application such as Office 2003 would work on a 64 bit processor.Also will windows xp professional install ok with this processor?Any help with this would be appreciated.
In a word - yes.You will just not unlock it's full potential for multi-tasking until you install a 64 bit operating system but all other things equal it will allow better games playing.
So I have heard in many places mhz/ghz means not very much on choosing a processor now.I will be going to a computer fair on Sunday to try and get a new computer so what do you look for in a processor?I'm going 100 quidish- good though not top of the range by any means.
Please rephrase that in an understandable yes or no question and i will try to give you a yes or no answer.
i have a single core intel pentium 4 3.00 ghz processor. under device properties, it is listed twice, does this mean i have two or is this just a mistake?
It has what is called Hyperthreading, it will show as two processors.
The only stupid question is the one that never gets asked.
I am looking into upgrading my motherboard/cpu, and currently I have a 1 gig amd athlon. What I am wondering is what is the "rating" for AMDs processors..
Like I know with intel, its like centrino is best, then theres pentium, then like the worst is the celerons.. just wondering how the AMD compares, for like athlon, duran, sempron..
I have a Duron 1.3 at moment. I intend to upgrade and will be going down the AMD route.
Could someone please just list the order of speed / spec after the 1.3. I see there are a number of ones 333, 2200 etc. I'm just a bit confused which is which.
The green chart is what i believe you are looking for..
Where can I find : AMD K-6 II with 450Mhz and HIGHER?Maybe I'll buy one!
Ive never quite understood all the small things about processors and one thing that ive come across whislt looking at the new intel ones is the 2,3,4,6 and 8 MB at the end.
For example ive seen an i3 processor that was 2.26Ghz 3MB, and a i5 2.40Ghz 4MB.
The one that confused me the most is that i saw an i7 2.6Ghz 3MB and a i7 1.8Ghz 8MB, i thnk the 1.8 was more expensive!
The "mb" specification next to each of these processors is the amount of on board cache included with the processor.
2 groups of questions for y'all1. Is there any word or information on a possible Pentium 5? What is with the word Tejas when I do a search on google for it?2. Are processors "changeable?" Like, for instance...I build a computer and use a Pent. 4 Processor, but the Pent. 5 comes out, and I want that...can I just change them?
hey guys is there a difference between notebook/laptop processors and desktop processors? if so can you give me a link for any notebook processors.
Whats better to use a mobo with dual processors or just one?
G'day bonesaw2009, what were you intending doing with it and what kind of operating system were you intending to use and how well off financially are you?
If it is not a server application and you are talking common operational kind of stuff like desktop or common gaming kind of use using common windows kinds of programs you would probably be better off with a simple single processor setup.
Well, I've been looking into get a 3.0 ghz or higher processor and as we all know when some thing bigger and better comes out the ones down below get there prices lowered.
Does any one know any thing on this? What are your thoughts on it?
Excuse my ignorance but what is the difference between a 3.0Ghz Pentium celeron and a 3.0Ghz pentium 4?
Intel� Viiv? Core? 2 Duo E4300 would be the best choice.And if selecting a Vista system,you really want to up the ram to 2GB.If you tell us the budget we could advise further,are you looking for a new system with Monitor ?
For the sake of a new PSU it is not worth the risk of an unstable system or fortunately less likely a burn out, which carries a very slight though real risk of blowing lots of expensive bits in your box.
