SAMSUNG NP-NC10 Blue Netbook 1.6ghz Atom Processor

Advantages: Robust, Large Keyboard, Large Screen, Good Support.
Disadvantages: 1 Memory Slot, No Mobile Broadband Sim Slot, Specific keyboard key in unusual place.

...This netbook has to be one of my favourites, boasting a solid case, 10' screen and a fast bootup to Windows XP. Having played around with a few netbooks recently all boasting similar specifications, I can honestly say that I was not disappointed with this offering from Samsung. There are some negatives that let this review down slightly, so I will get these out of the way first. 1. The "\" key is located on the right side of the keyboard next to the "/" key. This takes some getting used to when swapping from a normal keyboard and you tend to select this by accident instead of the shift key. 2. There is no mobile broadband sim socket, so you have to buy one of the mobile broadband usb sticks which is fine but it would have been neater to simply keep a sim permanently in the netbook. 3. The BIOS on my netbook was out of date...

Review of Samsung NC10

Best Value Processor On The Market

Advantages: Value for money, Performance, Easy to install
Disadvantages: Small 1MB L2 Cache, Instructions are a little lacking

... Performance I thought that it would be best to talk out the performance of the processor first since this is what everybody is looking for with games and application becoming more demanding. The performance of the E2160 out of the box is quite slow at only 1.8GHz but this is where the beauty of this processor comes in, it is highly overclockable, I have mine running at 3.2ghz and it doesn't go above 60 degrees C. The small 1MB L2 Cache does let it down slightly compared to some of the more expensive reviews but this CPU has amazing performance for its price. Price For its price this CPU is outstanding, I got mine for just under £50 and 3.2ghz from a £50 processor is just brilliant in my opinion, even some of the more expensive processors don't get these sort of speeds. This is bar far one of the best value...

P4 3.2GHz CPU with 512Kb Cache! Expensive but fast

Advantages: FAST, Retail box comes with fan, sticker, manual
Disadvantages: More expensive than Celerons, AMDs, etc

...an 800Mhz FSB (Front Side Bus) and 512K of L2 cache. The FSB is the bandwidth, or amount of data it can transmit in a given time, and the L2 (Level 2) cache is a storage area that can hold data temporarily so it can be accessed more quickly. This CPU has 512K of cache, so it is part of the Northwood family. There is a CPU core found on some of the newer P4 CPU?s with 1Mb (or even 2Mb) of cache. These are known as Prescotts and are usually indicated with an ?E? (i.e. 3.2E GHz for 1Mb and 3.2EE GHz for 2Mb) on the packaging. Why did I choose this particular one? To be honest, at first, I didn?t buy this one. I bought the Prescott version of the P4 3.2GHz CPU, with the 1Mb cache, so that I could have extra performance from the extra cache. However, it didn?t work when I plugged it in and ?tried to? start up my computer!!! Older motherboards do...

My Dream Machine CPU - P4 Prescott 2.8GHz

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...

Review of Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHz processor

competitive with quad core processors

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: none

...Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 / 3.16 GHz *** This is my favorite processor and I love to have this in my one of the PC at home due to its great performance and speed. Some processors are really very affordable and trustable with long run capacity and features to provide similar kind of performance as new one. This processor also a kind of processor which can give us reliable performance with its advanced features and speed. *** Core2 duo family from Intel is very popular and most of the desktop PCs and notebooks have this one as first priority. We haven't seen quad core processor in any notebook and core 2 duo processors are most popular with almost all notebooks. But there are slightly differences in notebook processors and desktop processors. We have some low power consuming series processors for notebooks and slightly higher one for desktop...

AMD 64 4200+ X2 AM2 (2.2GHz) processor!

Advantages: Dual Core, Low power usage* and Fast!
Disadvantages: Motherboards can be costly for this!

...pentiums can be twice the price for the same spec AMD! In comparison to my old computer (old old p4 1.9Ghz with 1gb ram) this processor helps to wipe the floor with my old computer. The dual core feature means that in comparison i can listen to music, run an anti-virus scan, spyware and adware scan and play Hitman: Blood Money at the same time with very little noticeable shuddering or lag! Excellent. If my old computer attempted this bouts of freezing and poor gameplay would occur! The startup speeds of the computer are very noticeable as it takes around 40secs to boot in total (after everything has loaded up) whereas my old computer would literally take atleast 4 minutes to boot everything up - no joke! In comparison it is not the best for Gaming as some single core pentiums are but this is still damn good. Coupling this board with 1...

THE INTEL PROCESSOR.

Advantages: HAS FAST PROCESSING ABILITIES.
Disadvantages: : THE FAN CAUSES NOISE.

...processor but before I do that, I would make use of this one for some time. The Intel Pentium 4.30ghz socket 775 CPU has hyper technology in it and this makes it a very advanced processor. The little problem with the processor is that it is capable of making too much noise while functioning. It comes in an orange packed colour with blues stripe at the edge of it. It also has heat stick fan for cooling the temperature down. In terms of durability, it is very durable and strong. It also comes with 1mb installed size of L2 cahe. Lets take a look at the product features. It comes with a clock speed of 3hz and with bus speed of 800mhz. It also has compatible socket of LGA775 and 16kb cahe level size. It has 84w thermal designs with 90mn manufacturing process. In terms of recommendations, I will recommend this because of its...

Review of Intel Dual-Core Xeon 5130 / 2 GHz processor

Cheap core duo based processor

Advantages: Price, price, stability,can be overclocked, did I noticed price
Disadvantages: average performer

...This is the last based core duo processor, used for the low end market. But this doesn't mean that the processor is weak. I personally use now it's brother E2160 that is a few faster. As a difference from their brothers, the E4000 and the E 6000 family this processor has a smaller L2 cache of only 1 Mb, instead of 2Mb or 4Mb. The performance hit varies from almost 0% (rendering programs, 3dmax) to a full 35% games at the same frequency, but the price is astonishing. 100% RECOMMENDED Speed: lowest dual core core speed, but enough for all modern aplications, but the processor can be really overclocked...50-90 % with great speed bonuses.Not really recommended for games. Stability: greatest as all new lintel processors Power consumption: best power consumption for years. draws about 45-50w at full speed and 12w idle (L2 great...

Review of Intel Pentium Dual Core E2140 / 1.6 GHz processor

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 / 2.4 GHz processor

Advantages: handle multiple tasks at same time and doesnt slow pc.
Disadvantages: potentially waste of money

...the latest processor from intel, the new intel core 2 quad is the most powerful processor available for the average home pc. The 2.4GHz processor is more than enough for everyday tasks on your pc. This is perfect if you do hardcore gaming, video editing etc or both! The four cores allow you to simultaneously do alot of tasks on the pc and it will not slow down your pc. As more and more software for pc's need a lot of processing power, this processor is the most up to date and the most powerful as yet. The downside to getting this would be that as computing power of computers are increasing faster and faster with respect to time, the quad core processor will no doubt be yesterdays news within a few months as intel have plans to release an octa-core processor which will then outdate this one....
