RE: [H] Understanding Conroe

It's faster :) Nothing different about it other than 300 more mhz. The smart buy is to get the cheapest model with 4MB of L2 cache, they overclock well if you're into that sort of thing, if not you're still getting 80-90% of the performance of the Extreme for 1/4th the cost. From: Winterli

Hey, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you all. I ended up reinstalling XP. I installed Acrobat 5.0 right after a clean install of XP Pro and it installed fine. Not sure what was going on earlier. I would love to be able to upgrade to the latest version, I just see it happening here. They

RE: [H] Understanding Conroe

Because top binned parts from both AMD and Intel are always $1k (currently FX-62 and X6800). When the quad-core Kentsfield is released in November, it should also be at the $1k spot. The XE series have historically had unlocked multipliers, which of course is very useful if you intend to overclock

RE: [H] Understanding Conroe

Nope, just 800 for now. Look for DDR2 PC6400. All in all, due to Conroe's vastly superior IPC, your dual 3.06 would probably be bested by even an E6300. What is extreme about the extreme that makes them cost so much more For example = Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 2.93GHz LGA 775 - Retail at Ne

I am going to be updating my P4 3.4 box to a Conroe setup in the next six months. The only thing I'm waiting for is for things to shake out, and seasoned boards to appear. But there are some things I am not clear about. I am currently using a dual Xeon 3.06 @ 533FSB as my primary workstation.
