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

2.8ghz Pentium 4 - Oldie but Goodie

Advantages: Cheap, Good Performace
Disadvantages: Not HT, L2 Cache could be bigger, Easy to install if you know how.

...a maximum clock speed of 5ghz supposedly, but they do run hotter in the first place, and overclocking generally means more heat. This 2.8ghz processor, is more than capable of running stably at 3.0ghz but be sure to have sufficent cooling and know what you're doing before you decide to overclock. REMEBER: It also voids your warrantee if anything should go wrong. ----------Stability---------- This is a very stable processor, I've had no faults with it in all the time i've used it. Naturally, stability may be compromised if there isnt adequet cooling the case, or if you've overclocked it. Being a 2.8ghz, you won't need anything fancy to cool it, just make sure theres enough room in the case for it to breath, and air flow is good. Make sure you've got a P4 high rated CPU fan, and the procesor should run perfectly happily. ----------Price...

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.

Intel Xeon The Best Server Processor!

Advantages: Fast, Cheap, Stable
Disadvantages: Nothing

...1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from store. Pros: Excellent performance per watt. I'll be using these processors in a machine that will be doing a lot of video compression and 3D modeling, which are some of the applications that Intel processors are better suited for than A M D's (comparing the Clover town X e o n to the Barcelona O p t e r o n). I like A M D's C P U s too, but I n t e l s are the better tool for these jobs. Cons: None so far, but there is a caveat that purchasers should be aware of. The LGA771 socket requires a special case that accommodates the heat sink for the processors. The LGA771 specs require that the heat sink be attached directly to the case instead of the motherboard. And so the case needs a special set of standoffs or a mounting plate for the heat sink to screw onto. Intel says the case...

Review of Intel Quad-Core Xeon E5410 / 2.33 GHz processor

Celeron II - A gone wrong PIII

Advantages: Pretty fast, PIII core
Disadvantages: Not cheap in budget terms

...The bosses at Intel have finally decided that they cant waste any processors any more. Its takes too much money and time in the industry to manufacture too many chips because they dont have many fabrication plants to do the job. Basically they had to find a way to make lots of different chips very quickly. Well here's the clever part. The Celeron II (not official name) is simply a PIII, well I say simply a PIII but that's what they are. Only difference is they are faulty PIII's. Not faulty as in they don't work, but faulty as in half of the 256k cache doesn't work. All Intel have done to these chips is disable the bad half of the cache and there you have a shiny new Celeron II. Not bad eh? Needless to say that then the Celeron II has a good leg to stand on as a budget chip. The core performance of the PIII is there in...

Review of Intel Celeron 1 GHz processor

Celeron 533mhz - not recomended

Advantages: Cheap processor
Disadvantages: Slow, small cache,

...I have mixed experiences with these processors, In comparison to AMD's chips, Im afraid Celeron processors do not compare. My AMD K6-2/450 which worked without fault, was sold and replaced with a Celeron 533Mhz which at the time was of similar cost. Celeron processors were at the time rated quite highly however in comparison to AMD's 450, Graphical benchmarks, Gameplay, High Quality Video files, processor benchmarks all showed a great deal of a decrease in performance with the celeron. The Celeron runs on a 66mhz bus speed which greatly reduces performance in comparison to processors running at 100mhz bus. Celeron processors are known for thier ability to be overclocked which can greatly improve performance however this greatly dependant on which mainboard you choose. Increasing the Memory from 64mb to 128mb made...

Review of Intel Celeron 1 GHz processor

Celeron Or PIII

Advantages: Cheap,reliable
Disadvantages: not for graphics, or design application

...If you want to to build a low-cost but reliable system, the Intel Celeron chip is always the chip I consider using in comparison with all the other chip like AMD or etc . The celeron is fast enough to watch DVD from the computer write application have multiboot system. Play games etc. From the other hand if you using graphics packages or design programm don't go for celeron Dot think about the money buy a PIII which is more fast in this kind of application. But ofcourse is much more expensive. I can also recomend overclocking the celeron which is safe, Intel know about they first use to overclocking the DX2 33 to 66Mz. But however the decision is yours....

Intel Pentium D E5200 Overclockers budget king and luck tester

Advantages: fast and cheap
Disadvantages: low L2 cache and overclocking relies on luck

...The Intel E5200 is a tricky CPU. when overclocking its very unpredictible on how high a clock and how stable you can get it. this chip was taken from the bad end. You have a 50/50 chance of having an overclocking catalyst or a stability wreck. if you want to get great performance for your money though this should do the job nicely it makes an easy 2.7-2.8Ghz overclock. I managed to push mine to 3Ghz an unknowingly damaging it. so if you are an overclocker with this CPU be very careful and run frequent test to male sure you are completely stable because this CPU can go from fly to fry in the slightest adjustment. a safe mark I would say is 2.8Ghz. go to 3Ghz if you have the appropriate cooling and go beyond that if you feel lucky and have amazing cooling but once again be very cautious. this CPU is a bit of a power eater too so try to...

Review of Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 / 2.5 GHz processor

Gamening processor

Advantages: price, power, stability, stable temperature
Disadvantages: frequent maintenance of heatsink

...This processor has been a long time one of the fastest processors on the market. It is a very good single-core processor. For a reasonable price you can get quality. And now you can compare with dual-core processors. Is it processor for computer players. His speed is very appropriate. This processor has no problems with processing complex game scripts unlike AMD processors. I am gamer and i haven´t problems with the power. The other good feature is the intelligent power management. If the CPU utilization does so, his power reduced. This will reduce the consumption of the PC and the CPU temperature drops and the fan slows down. CPU temperature is very stable. The rest is held at 37 ° C and under load around 44 ° C. At maximum power the temperature to 48 ° C. Cooling is provided by heatsink supplied with processor and is fully...
