...Okay, so I bought myself a motherboard (see Asus P4C800-E Deluxe review) to build a computer but it’s not a computer without the rest of the components. One of these other components I needed was the CPU. “HUH? A C-P-What?!!!”….Well since you ask, I will tell you. CPU is an acronym for Central Processing Unit (aka: Processor). This is the computer’s brain and it plays an important role in a computer. This is where all the information ‘processed’ and where all the calculations are done. Generally, the faster the CPU, the better the performance but there are other factors to take into consideration. It usually looks like a square metal thing, with gold pins underneath but Pentium 3’s have a single connector that slots into a slot rather than use pins.
The CPU I am reviewing is Intel’s Pentium 4 (P4 for short) 3.2GHz CPU. This one has...

Advantages: Speed, big HD, High res screen Disadvantages: fan positioning, heat, heavy PSU
...I was after a desktop replacement that offered a really high res screen (1600x1200), big hard drive and a fast CPU. After much looking around, it seemed like the Dell 5150 fitted the bill. The price was too high though so I kept an eye on Dell's refrurbished/cancelled orders site, Dell Outlet until one turned up at about 35% off the list price. Deal done. I got a free wireless keyboard/mouse, free USB memory stick and reduced delivery in to the bargain.
The machine is a couple of years old now so some of the spec isn't exactly leading edge but at the time it was state of the art:
3.06Ghz HT CPU. The HT = Hyperthreading which means the CPU can do more than one thing at a time and appears to Windows as 2 seperate CPUs. The modern version, done properly as 2 real CPUs in a chip is the Core Duo range from Intel or the X2's from AMD...

Advantages: Good graphics card, good memory space, WIndows XP, Disadvantages: Only one DVD/CD drive, ps/2 keyboard and mouse connections
...attractive, clearly a lot of thought has gone into this. It is the same tower for all PCs in the presario range.
The graphics card installed in this pc is very impressive, a NVidia GeForce 6200 TurboCache supporting 256MB, which annoyed one of my friends when he bought Call of Duty 2 but it played and looked better on my pc!
It also has a DVD-Writer, however one thing that I have found slightly annoying is that despite having space for it there is only one CD/DVD drive, it could sometimes do with two, im just lazy and cant be bothered to upgrade it myself, its not as if I require it that often. The other problem is that you have to push the drive closed, there is no button to close it as the cover gets in the way. It worries me that this may damage the drive.
For those interested, it has:
Intel Pentium 46303GHz
160 GB
512MB RAM...

Can't remember where I found out about this thing, but immediately wanted one, and thanks to a very helpful German Ebay chap, it was in my possession soon afterwards !

I wanted to build a new computer for myself but I also wanted a FAST one, and I can’t have a fast computer without a good motherboard. The ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe is a computer motherboard from the computer hardware company, Asustek (aka Asus).

If your like i was before stuck with a pretty decent socket 478 CPU such as a Pentium 4 2.8 , then this is one of the best motherboards i would recommend to get.
There are lots of great advantages with this motherboard such as the size, its a Micro... more
