then dont buy a dell
by cgilmo78 - 1/25/06 7:01 AM In reply to: Roy says lol by Roy312if you are not willing to use dell parts, then do not use a dell computer. Dell's arent ment to be customised by the end user (although they can be)
You sound like a knowledgeable guy, why not order your components and build a dual core system from scratch? Having done so myself, i feel comfortable in saying that you will not regret it.

by drfrank - 1/26/06 10:32 AM In reply to: then dont buy a dell by cgilmo78I would love to build my own computer but I don't know where to start in terms of directions. I am technically competant, eg, I make my living as a consultant in die attach processes all over the world, but I have never had time to build a computer. Can anyone give me some guidance? Money is no object, I just want the latest and best.
i love to help

agree and disagree
by cgilmo78 - 1/25/06 6:59 AM In reply to: Applications by tdsmithI agree with you that there are not many applications out there that support dual core. And that this hinders the performance increase of the chips. But i do not see this as something that software developers will ignore. The performance increase is too great for developers of high end performance applications to ignore, much less developers of MMORPG's and other computer games. Software developers go where the money is, and looking at the sales of AMD's x2 939 chip, there is a market for dual core applications.
AMD AMEN!

AMD, the current leader in dual core
by cgilmo78 - 1/25/06 6:55 AM In reply to: AMD all the way by Whit804The combination of the 939 socket amd cpu and the dual core (x2) technology makes the AMD line of dual core chips unbeatable at this time.
the 3800+ x2 is one of the best bargins in the world of desktop CPU's
Listen TO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by Mpftmead - 1/25/06 10:34 AM In reply to: AMD all the way by Whit804I just bought not one but two AMD X2 Systems from HP and let me tell you my friend you will not be dissapointed! Like you, I almost ALWAYS have more than a few things running at the same time and I needed something that waould do it fast and still have none to a little lag in switching in between them and so far I CANNOT slow both of these Beautifull beasts down except... for the integrated graphics (which you get with just about any PC today) and the fact that it does not have a TV tuner (upgradeable) and remote (upgradeable) so what I did was bought a Dell Angel Dual TV tuner off ebay for $80 and in the next few months I expect to buy a PCIe Graphics card and a Media center remote control off ebay for $35 and later on get another gig of ram!

You can't go wrong!!!!!!

AMD vs Intel

AMD by far is a better and more reliable processor. At work we use Dell with intel processors and I must say as an IS support person, intel processors are not very reliable!! Clearly by comparison with computers at work and at home AMD is the champ!
I agree
by Whit804 - 1/24/06 7:12 PM In reply to: AMD vs Intel by rozpalmblacI also work in IT. We have both AMD and Intel procs and i have found AMD have been more reliable than Intel most for the time. I own an AMD machine and have never been happier.

by top_flight_steelers - 1/24/06 10:45 PM In reply to: AMD vs Intel by rozpalmblacI can't really aford to jump to the 64 bit system right now and I really belive that later this year we will see some games that can take advantage of the 64 bit cpu power. but for at least awile I can wiat for the cost to come down and bugs to get work out. but I have both 32 bit intel and Amd. (AMD ROCKS)
I'm getting the new Mac Book Pro

Can't wait to get my new Mac Book Pro with the new intel chip in it. I got to work on one at MacWorld and it rocks. Very fast.

I have had many problems with this computer but the processor has not been one of them. The trouble I have is keeping the video clean to DVD. I use Adobe Premier Pro 1.5.
Yup - once the turion dual core is out
by c1utch - 1/24/06 7:07 PM In reply to: Will you be moving to a dual-core processor soon? by Marc Bennett
Why settle for a 64 bit single core proc or a 32 bit dual core?
The Turion, 64bit dual-core mobile chip will be in the laptop I buy.
Me too.
by EJRay - 1/25/06 4:50 AM In reply to: Yup - once the turion dual core is out by c1utchI work at Intel and I know the Turion will rock. I need to update my notebook but I'll wait.
