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.

...the processor relatively quick and very capable for everyday tasks and even gaming (when paired with a good graphics card). It is available in the older Northwood core or the newer Prescott core, I chose Northwood because prescott run hotter, but the prescott does have 1mb of L2 cache, comapred to the Northwoods L2 cache of 512kb. This makes the prescott slightly better for video encoding. ---------Performance---------- I'll start with the most important aspect of any processor, performance. I bought this processor as an upgrade to a 1.7ghz 400FSB pentium 4, and it's one hell of an improvement. I can say through general office tasks like web browsing, word processing etc, it is no worse than a Hyper Threaded (HT) 3.0ghz Pentium 4 Its by no means top dog anymore, there are better and faster processors out there, working on new technology...

Review of Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHz processor

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...

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 Desktop Board D845GVSR - motherboard - micro ATX - i845GV

The Best Purchase I've Ever Made

Advantages: Fantastic OS, Looks Fab, Large & Clear Display, Built-In Bluetooh, Wireless, Camera & Microphone, Very Powerful
Disadvantages: Could Be Cheaper, Could Have More In-Built Ports

...Let me start off my saying that this is my first Mac, and I'm typing from it right now... For years I've been fascinated by Macs, my first experience with them was when I used a friends PowerBook running Tiger. It was beautiful and features like expose and dashboard really impressed me. Ever since my first encounter with a Mac, I've been following Apples progress and it's been amazing. The new Aluminium iMac came out at a time when getting a Mac had become financially feasible for me, and as soon as I saw it, I just had to have one! I'd been putting money into a "Mac Fund" for a year and finally purchased the 24" 2.8Ghz Core 2 Extreme model in time for my 18th Birthday. The money I got for my birthday was enough to top up my Mac Fund to an amount capable of paying for the machine. Since my Birthday, which was 25th November, I...

Architecture Features: Enhanced SpeedStep technology, streaming SIMD extensions 2, streaming SIMD extensions 3, Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology, Execute Disable Bit capability This processor runs at 3 GHz.
