[CGUYS] Intel Core Duo Conroe 6550

2008-03-23 Thread Arthur Poudrier
Thinking on buying a refirb or scratch and dent dell with the subject 
line processer..


What are the list folks experience with dell outlet?

What do folks think of the above processor ?(what os are you using?)

For some odd reason i want to know if the cores show up as seperate 
cpu's in taskmanager (i assume vista has a taskmanager)


Given a choice, ATI or Nvidia, the only real gaming i do is civ3, one 
assumes my next addition will be civ4, if i buy a new pc, other than 
that mostly general productivity.


Any issues with vista and samba?

No, I am not buying a mac, for reasons i wont go in here, but if you 
donate one to me, i will gladly take it.


I would provide a link to a typical system, but the scratch and dents 
disappear fast.


Thanks,
Arthur

I've bought many a system from there.  Both servers and laptops; only one
problem and the warranty took care of that PDQ.  I recommend it to anyone.

The Core 2 Duos are very nice CPUs.  Even though I prefer AMD chips, these
outperform the AMDs.

All the dual-core chips I've used have.

Essentially it the ability to put two cores (CPU's) onto one CPU.

This gives it the ability to split tasks if needed (two separate 
functioning processes)


It is not as good as two computers for one price, but it does allow 
you to have to separate processes running at the same time and not 
bog down the CPU.
