. . . . and the i860 can be OC to exceed any i5/i3 you are looking at. That
is one advantage that speed step has over the i5/i3 series. The i860 is
rated at 2.8 Ghz, but speed step technology will run the processor from 1.4
Ghz up to 3.46 Ghz without external overclocking.
No. The i7 870 /860 are rated for DDR3-1066/1333. At least that is what

Thanks a lot for the rundown, Paul
I was looking at that processor on newegg.com $260 seemed kind of pricy
for that little clock boost but the quad core sounded more promising. I
just wasn't sure if I would notice much difference. $260 is pricey when
you consider the whole system cost a grand a couple of years ago. They also

A Q9550 2.83Ghz quad at $260, is probably the most cost effective upgrade.
The quad may help with the video render to output, and make it a bit faster.
Microsoft Flight Simulator FSX can use the quad cores, and launches some
threads on the fly. A lot of other games have a "dominant" thread running

I'm aiming for basically the same mobo, although the newer version "-e" that
has the new USB and SATA ports. Sticking to the base version though as cost
cutting is a big concern unfortunately.
I don't think the i7s have anything I need badly enough to splurge the extra
cash on it and hope that the 750 will OC enough to make up for any dpseed

Advice wanted on cpu upgrade

I have a system build on an Asus P5b motherboard. It currently has a E6750,
Intel Core2 duo cpu at 2.66GHz with 8GB of DDR2 (PC2-6400) memory
installed. Bios version is 2104.
Would anyone recommend a cpu upgrade for this system or would I see much
difference at all? I'm a casual gamer and sometimes do video work. I was

Thomas:
I just went through this in January. I went with the ASUS P7P55D EVO
because of its 'next to the top end' design, as I always like to purchase
the 'sweet spot' which is usually one down from whatever is the best unit in
the line. I like its expansion layout, lots of room for boards, and pcie-16

Recomended 1156 processor?

2010-03-13T19:23:07Z

Hi!
I'm hoping to take the big jump from my old AMD 4200+ to an all new
architecture, intel based of course, soon and hope for some help and input.
I aim for the Asus P7P55D-E motherboard and will have to settle for PC1600
ram (hopefully better).
GFX card will most likely be a NVidia GTX260.
The big question is what CPU to chose? As it's aimed as a gaming rig

Some 25 years ago I was told that Sony UK ended up with a bunch of fake
"Sony" audio cassettes in their own warehouse! It was conjectured that
somebody bought a few cases of the genuine ones then returned the
packages for credit with the fakes inside.
By a similar method, Intel themselves could have ended up with fakes in

"someone" has more to do than just some 'spaining. Like maybe, hire a
good defense attorney. That "someone" should do time for this. I
think this is called fraud, and if 300 units are affected, with a
retail price of say $300 (rounding off a bit), that's 90 grand.

Underside of PT6 deluxe V2

2010-03-12T02:07:26Z

It seems that my Asus PT6 v2 MB is defective. I tried to be extra cautious
at the outset and had the board professionally modified for water cooling.
I have read elsewhere that removing the heatpipe should not invalidate the
guarantee, but I have subequently been told by the supplier of the board

This is not what I call a counterfeit CPU; a "counterfeit" cpu is at
least a real CPU (typically, a lower speed version that has been
"remarked" to be labeled as a faster CPU than it really is); this is a
hunk of metal, and the "fan" is a photo of a fan and some foam rubber or
plastic.
But, regardless, "someone has some 'splainin to do".
