Just retired an Athlon 6000 x2 (3.1GHz version) a few weeks ago when I picked up a phenom II 955. I also just gave away a Pentium D 920 machine which I used for trying new Linux distros. No idea of the age tho, Can't remember when I bought it.

These articles are quite old now but the fundamental findings and explaination are still the best ive seen explaining bottlenecks in multi gpu set ups Scaling performance part 1 crossfire scaling performance Part 2

Yea, It won't replace my desktop so whatever the tablet can't handle can always wait till then. I've had some experience in Curry's with win 8 but it's still not the full feel I'd like to get. Same with the SGN tho there is only so much you can do on the display model that I'm concerned it isn't...

I'm looking to pick up a tablet. After a ton of reviews and user opinions I'm no wiser. I've narrowed it down to the galaxy note and thinkpad tablet 2. Aside from hardware differences and possible new devices on the horizon my dilemma is coming down to android vs windows. The aim will be for the...

according to the new 3 will offer 4G on their current price plans

Mobo is am2+ and the power supply is FSP Everest 600

Anyone else any advice. Is it worth upgrading or jumping ship?

Ive been looking at getting a data sim to put in a smart phone for when I head south. I don't see the issue with something like the vodafone smart and unlocking it considering it would be miles cheaper than a proper mifi, 500mb for 3 euro a day rather than £3 for 30mb. Is it possible to do that...

I've only had experience with ASUS, ECS, MSI and DELL. The 2 MSI boards I used (770-C45) died after 12months but they where budget AM3 ones. While it hasn't totally put me off it has made me cautious.

head says intel heart says AMD lol. How does the MSI compare to the ASRock extreme 3?

Is upgrading worth it vs switching to a core i3 build. Could the money put into the i3 be spent elsewhere? EDIT: Just saw your second reply whats phanteks cooler like performance wise compared to the 212?

Yea Keeping the CPU. While not the fastest its still good enough for gaming and the encoding I do. Current mobo is horrible for OC'ing so being able to OC, more ram (feel DDR2 is a waste of money) and extra pci-e slots am3+ was the way to go. I would like and SSD for OS and was going for a 1TB...

Budget: around £300 Main uses of intended build: gaming, folding at home (when not gaming), video conversion Parts required: Ram, motherboard, Hard disks, cooler Previous build information (list details of parts): Phenom ii 955 @ stock Asus M3A78 pro 4GB DDR2 667MHz GTX460 CM 690 case 250GB...

Another Problem is what xbox is doing. Developers who develop for all platforms tend not to change much between each console. If one console is has a weaker CPU then most likely that will be the target developers will aim for rather than develop for the stronger CPU and look to cut from the...

Athlon 6000+ x2 @ 3.1GHz. I've got a phenom ii 955 sitting on the desk beside me. Just need to update the bios, plug it in and I'm ready to go! PC downstairs is a Sempron LE 1250. Got an athlon 5400+ x2 to go in it.

It changes what the dealers offer. You can pick up small cars for almost free then after 3 years return and get a new one. The scheme even pays for tires and repairs to the car. Shop round see whats on offer for what price.

The opposite, they're more likely to mark harsher as its a sign your not confident. Although the person in question did take 10 attempts to pass and even now admits they can't see road signs >.> I remember in my test the examiner moved the seat right back effectively blocking my view at...

I picked up a lenovo thinkpad edge E320 from their website for under £500 13" core i3 (can manually upgrade from looking after I recieved, lowest option is a pentium G something or other) 2GB ram (upgraded myself since it was cheaper than getting them to) HD6630 graphics It was just under £500

cheers diablo. I'll look at the hp one and repost unless a mod can move
