CPU Install question

Yes. There aren't too many that do 4GHz as the stock value. This has a higher clock, but benches lower. And it also uses a lot of power. http://products.amd.com/en-us/Deskto...il.aspx?id=840 http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html Passmark 4790K 11,251 FX-9590 10,220 Paul Ah, AMD. I had an AMD Athlon XP 2100+, when it was "hot"! Memory Lane! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...icroprocessors I was surprised (in looking at the link) just how many different models were made. My current build was my 4th one. Thanks again for your help! Flasherly, Thank you too! Bill |

A slotted Athlon that took a dedicated CPU slot (alongside ISA/Memory slots), and, shortly eclipsed by a socketed same model. May have not even been an Athlon, per se;- came out around/after the K6s (350Mhz). Around a sub-1000MHz or slightly lower. Memory Lane, alright, just can't remember, now, all the rooms in Memory Motel I've frequented. Do recall that slotted one, though, it was a horrible setup to seat, prone to lose connections and need reseating before it would boot. Oh, well - I suppose it's always good to know that would be X200 magnitude faster than an Intel 8088 4.77Mhz, or, an all-nighter to convert archives, arc to zip, residing on perhaps half a 20Meg MFM Seagate with its proprietary ISA interface controller. |

Memory Lane, alright, just can't remember, now, all the rooms in Memory Motel I've frequented. My second computer was a CDC Cyber 172, which I programmed in Fortran and assembly. From there I upgraded to a Digital (may they rest in peace) Vax Cluster. Then to SUN (may they also rest in peace) workstations... lol I did NOT anticipate Apple being successful with computers at their onset (who would want them?), and this keeps my "investor acumen" in check. Of course, at that point I had never heard more than a monochrome beep from a computer, literally! My first computer I dialed to with a phone modem from a dumb terminal, in 1975, and I'm not sure what was on the other end. I saved my Basic All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code programs on paper tape. But for all of my admittedly limited computer hardware experience, everything else pales compared to watching a "card reader" work through a big stack of cards! Bill |

Bill Pretty much the same scenario here, except a little later;- tho' did work a stint at an Evacuation Control Center with its recording-keeping stored via cards. Came back, awhile later, exchanging/updating a handheld calculator given to me. Found a calculator with a subset of Basic interesting, a programming language I'd never seen before;- took it home, scratching my head, but wouldn't take no for an "answer" until figuring it out. Bought a couple computers not long after, happenstance, in time immediately to also exchange the first when visiting an electronics repair shop, upon seeing my first IBM PC. So I bought a brandname Intel-powered PC. Sold that within a year, by the time I was figuring how to update/augment hardware on the thing, when I built my first from parts alone. Every computer since I've built off parts. Little later than the CDC's with a dual-core potential of 40Mhz and provisions for a bank of peripheral processors. 8" glass harddisks and all kinds of esoteric and prohibitively expensive setups. There's a saying 'the revolution' was started in garages by tinkerers, bringing computing out into a much broader front of popularity, business, then, only could fractionally compare by sheer magnitude ensuing. Little more than tinkerer, if to include myself and think back to some of those crazy prices I would cough up for my digital fix. Really. Got so bad for awhile I'd hustle them, just as quick as I could see an update out of flipping one I'd just built. Also did repair work on the side in a computer shop run by a former NASA "assembler type," IT upgrades at local government offices, only kept it at a certain distance, informally augmenting/expanding what I was already doing for a few select individuals;- too interesting to exchange for a stricter work disciple and a certain latitude of focus to freely approach them. Computers have provided me certainly with enough entertainment not to forget why. |
