AMD Opteron 254 / 2.8 GHz processor

Advantages: So many...stability, overclocks insanely & most bang for the buck.
Disadvantages: None except that Intel C2Ds now yields better performance.

...Currently the leading budget overclocking AMD dualcore processor, why? simply becourse the price/performance ratio is ridicolous, let me explain in detail in the best of my ability. (I´m assuming that the reader/s have some or even better knowledge about overclocking & the terms used in the semi-advanced school of computer knowledge, if youre a newbie thats fine too as I will try to write this review so that it´s understandable to some extent by everyone & reading is the key to learning, there are also plenty of guides on the net to satisfy your apetite ;) ) btw I´m no expert myself, merely a layman with a couple of self-built "puters" in my CV. Initially the CPU cores run at 1,8GHz which is more than enough when surfing the www & playing music + having your system loaded with AV, Anti Spyware & various other apps + resource... Read review

Advantages: Very Fast, Latest technology
Disadvantages: Not 64 bit like AMD, heat problems

...In the second on my series of computer component reviews, I would like to offer you the Pentium 4 Prescott 2.8Ghz. --------------------- Prescott? --------------------- Intel have produced 5 versions of their pentium 4 range. The first was the Willamite which would only accept RD RAM and was very short lived. The next was the Northwood, which is the one which sits in most computers nowadays. Then there's the ridiculously expensive Extreme Edition, for really silly gamers who want huge performance from their machines. And of course the P4-M for laptops. This processor is designed to give max performance on the move. But there's a new version on the block called Prescott. This, I decided, was the chip for me. Firstly, it's got the 800MHz front serial bus found in the later versions of the Northwood. The FSB speed makes... Read review

Advantages: I feel this processor cheep and speedy.
Disadvantages: not so specific

...Different processor i used in my professional life, this processor is compatibly give better performance. This is a speedy processor and work efficient while in development processes. Many applications work fine in these applications. It will be released in two models, the X7900 and the X7800. These will feature an 800 MHz FSB. The X7800 will be clocked at 2.6 G Hz and will cost around $795. The X7900 will be clocked at 2.8 G Hz, but its cost is unknown, but expect it to be more than 1000 dollars per CPU in packs of 1000. The Core 2 processor does not require the use of DDR2. While the Intel 975X and P965 chip sets require this memory, some motherboards and chip sets support both the Core 2 and DDR memory. When using DDR memory, performance may be reduced because of the lower available memory bandwidth. I love these kind... Read review
