LINKKKKKK

i have a p4 socket 775 or whatever, and it is 3.0 ghz and 1024k l2 and a 16 sumthin l1

This here will have a bigger cache and it is the same speed.. so will dual core be better than what i have? and is it worth the money?

It would be worth the money, however you'll have to spend quite a bit on cooling if you want to overclock it and keep it cool. As you may well know, a dual-core processor is as same as running two CPUs at the same time, so without sufficient cooling, you won't be in need of a heater.

Can i use it to set like...halo has afinity on cpu 0 and all other stuff has cpu 1? and the speed will be the same on both things? i want to do some mad multitasking so this is the same as having two of my current processors?

I would actually spend 100 bux less and get the 920 for 260, the best bang for your buck.. Spend the extra on a new motherboard.. Also, your gonna need a i875, x955, or x975 chipset to run these processors.. your 915 isn't going to cut it.

Wait? graphics chipset thing? I dont even know if i can upgrade the board or overclock this... its a pre built machine from hp.

YEs i want to put it in my sig rig. it is a prebuild hp machine REPEAT! it is a HP machine. i dont thing i can go amd and im not sure if i can even uopgrade this. What would happenb if i just tore out the old mobo and swapped in a new one? and the recovery technology on this thing for restoring windows would not recognise the machgione anymore if i replaced the mobo.

Sheesh the thing that would be the best upgrade would be a new gfx card.

So i need a new gfx card? hook me up with a nice CHEAP pcie one...plz

Uhh 150 maybe.. and i should get that pentium D and can i overclock it in my HP?

I am so overly confused!! How will i be able to overclock this? and is my hard drive just gonna hook up and magicly work with new evreything else??? and how can i posibly recover the system when the time comes? because my recovery software will not recognise anything...and if not to much trouble pick me out a new mobo... i need it cheap, and my psu has 300W output max.. thats what it is labeld. the mobo also must have sata because my hard drive is sata. i have 512mb of ram Two sticks of 256mb i dont know the timing and dont know if its ddr 1 or 2

HOW IS MY FRIGGEN MOBO CHIPSET OLD???????????????????????? the damn computer is only 6 months old.. damn... friggen hate stupid hp *****es

and te he ... no more burns for me

EDIT: Here are the exact specs from the hp website! http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...00233082&lc=en

I forgot to point out that the HD you have now may need to be reformatted when you hook it up to the new motherboard. However, if it's a motherboard from the same company (ASUS, in your case), the HD may not need to be reformatted. That's what happened with mine, although I reformatted anyways. You will need to buy a new PSU if you want to overclock. 300W isn't enough at all. In addition, it looks like you'll need to learn the basis of overclocking. Read some guides in the Intel CPU section, and you'll understand what it is.

This looks bad for me, i cant just go and reformat... i would need to buy a new windows cd because of the technology they use to reformat it. and if i try after replacing parts.. it wont recognise the computer and will automaticly abort.

Im not buying an amd... jesus mother bumper.. NO AMD! maybe next time

DAmnit!!! DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN!!!!!!! oh well.. close this topic.. i cant get a pentium D because of this dumbazz hp ***z

cant close... must need more rep

 

[Dcstegg228]

So whats this new thing intell is comin out with?

so its like 3.9 thz?

 

[Dcstegg228]

Thanks for the explination! and why do they make them so small? i mean.. id gladly buy one the size of a brick if it was faster than the others! wouldnt you?

The really nice thing about transistor sizes being shrunk even further is that they will soon consume so little power that they will be included in more and more devices. How nice would it be to walk to your refrigerator and have a built in lcd screen with infinite recipes at the touch of a button? Or how about a preset shower temperature with multiple setting configurations so each person can have their own. That could include shower head angle,temperature, even timed shower. The possibilities get exciting if you look at where technology is going.

wow, that sounds cool. but they should just make a big chip with a jillion transistors and have it uberfast
