Let's make the longest thread on AF

... Like I said... Actually I didn't even notice I was missing the stripes Shows how tired I am... and was to lazy to put 50 stars on it...

やっぱりゅえいがなかったんだからいただいたってことで

So I got a C2D off ebay yesterday... should be here on the 29... hopefully it works on my laptop... it's the right socket but there might be bios compatibility issues or something... hopefully not though...

C2d works on lga 775... (desktop I presume)
What model did you get ?

an older model made for the PGA478... On a laptop... I got this one: Intel® Core?2 Duo Processor T8100 (3M Cache, 2.10 GHz, 800 MHz FSB))

 

[karandpr]

It's pretty good IMO
get an ssd next and you will have pretty fast system ....

spam...sorry don't have anything else to add

Hmm... How much would a 250gb 2.5" sata SSD cost?

 

[karandpr]

Did you watch fate zero....

Pretty costly......you can get a new laptop on that price....

 

[Yeahha]

Did you watch fate zero....

No haven't...I may still be a week behind you even after I watch it

 

[Yeahha]

Will go watch it now...need something to drink beer too anyways

How would a SSD speed compare to a regular 2.5 inch sata 7200 rpm HDD?

And this is the processor I am currently running: Intel® Pentium® Processor T4200 (1M Cache, 2.00 GHz, 800 MHz FSB))

And before that this is what I had: Intel® Celeron® Processor 900 (1M Cache, 2.20 GHz, 800 MHz FSB))

 

[Yeahha]

Yeah CR is behind by a week at least...and still hasn't posted episode 20

 

[Yeahha]

found it somewhere else

 

[karandpr]

Well, ssd are much faster..think like running os from ram ..
Ssd are just meant for os and games and heavy applications .
So an 60-80 gb should suffice ...

 

[karandpr]

The c2D will be much faster imo plus it has extra instructions like vt-x..

Hmm. Yes they are a week behind ....

 

[marc12868]

Hmmm... Might look into a cheap one then...

Yes faster and cooler... And I saw that... I have no idea what it is though...

 

[karandpr]

The processor/os race has now shifted to mobile platforms so I may not need an upgrade from my current laptop/desktop anytime soon. ...
Might get a ram upgrade for my desktop...

 

[marc12868]

Ok... So I think I understand Vt-x... It just allows me to use the processor more securely and better with a virtual box?

Also say the spec sheet of my laptop says it only supports a max of 4gb of ram... Is that an actual hardware limitation?

Hmm.probably bios limitation...can you use 64 bit os ?
Ddr2 ram costs a bomb .... you know
4 gb ddr2 single stick is quite expensive(compared to ddr3).maybe you can use more ram with bios update...

So I could probably use more than 4gb of ram if I upgrade the bios? Hmmm... But the risks involved with that could leave my Mobo bricked right? And yea I know ddr2 ram is quite expensive... although I got 4gb of ddr2 (2x 2gb sticks) used for cheap...

 

[karandpr]

The asus which I was going to buy had a hw chipset limit of 8 gb...(which was older)
My hp has a newer chipset which even supports the newer 3rd gen core proc. And 16 gb ram....

 

[marc12868]

how does the hardware even limit the amount of ram it can use?
