I am currently in the market for a work / personal use laptop in the base $800 - $1,300 range. I've been out of the loop for the past few years due to raising kids and am not currently up to speed on the latest hardware / 64bit platform stuff. Here are the major applications I'm intending to...

Can someone point me to an article or explain the difference between server and desktop cpu solutions. For example, How do 2x Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor 5100 (server model) compare to 1x Intel Core™2 Quad processor (desktop model) in terms of performance? Thanks,

I'm about to build a new core duo quad core system. The motherboard I've picked, like many, has only 4 slots for RAM. I want to put 2 gig sticks in each slot so I can have a total of 8 gig. The ONLY 2 gig sticks I can find of at least DDR-800 speed are at NewEgg by two brands I never heard of. The...

The Intel Matrix Raid 0 available on many newer Intel motherboards like the 965 series is getting great reviews. I wonder how it compares to hardware based PCI Raid controllers?

I have Intel® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family graphic card http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intel915gm/. This one is insufficient for me to play some games. Hence, I need a better one. Is this card already put on my mainboard or is it changeable. Thanks a lot for helping

Which of these two systems will have best performance running WinXP and low demand apps (kids surfing net, MS Office). 1. Dell Dimension 8100 (P4 1.3GHz) with 256MB PC800 RDRAM. 2. Compaq Deskpro EN (P3 733 MHz) with 448MB RAM Thanks in advance..... Paul

what is the diff between NP and GP when the speed of GP is above 3 Ghz and where the speed of NP is less than 2Ghz

Intel's current CPU lineup is a psychotic nightmare. Even if you just limit yourself to socket 775, there's no ryhme or reason to their current product line. It's a pain in the ass when your trying to get a handle on what cpu's are available for which motherboard, from which vendor, and make...

Anyone tried installing the 64 bit version of Vista on your Core Duo processor?

Hello i have SC5299DP Pilot Point 4 server case , do i need to have APP3HSDBKIT bracket to mount AXX6DRV3G in this server case ? VEN

Hi folks, My question is really this: I own a Celeron M laptop, and I want to know if some software is compatible with it or not. So: A Celeron M is equivalent to (compatible with requirements for) a Pentium What? And more generally, what processors should I look for in software system...

Im after a new laptop, i am debating either a Sony Vaio BX297XP or a Sony Vaio AR21M. They are roughly the same spec but one has a 2ghz Intel Centrino or a 1.88ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. What is the differance between the two processors? The centrino is cheaper and has better gfx card, hard disk and...

In another thread I was told that nobody forces me to upgrade, well while it is true bill gates does not send a commando squad to my house to drag me kicking and screaming to CompUSA to buy a new computer and OS every time he has a new release. do to lack of future support our collective hands...

I'm thinking about building a second PC. My current is a Core2 2.67ghz. If I'm building new I always think about upgrading but the extreme processors are a lot more for little gain in performance currently. Thought I'd see what was coming out and when. Thanks

Hello, I heard that PCI Express 2.0 was completed recently but have no idea how long it takes to make it to market. Seems like when a new version of PCI came out they came quickly but not sure how PCI Express will go. Any news - I'd like to build a new computer soon. Thanks

I'm buying a new cooler for Pentium dual core 3.0 Ghz CPU with 775 socket. The existing cooler has screwed mountings. I found a good one by cooler master, but with push-pin mountings. Does anyone know if the two are interchangeable or have any suggestions on another cooler. Thank you. MagicJS

I have a Sony Vaio with an oddball Intel motherboard (D915GRO/D915PRO/D915GVRO) that crapped out on me. When I turn the computer on the fan runs at high speed, but there is nothing else. No beeps and no video output whatsoever. The computer was working fine and it is in its stock configuration...

I was just now getting excited about the Merom.
