    Why might you want to use a CPU with a high frequency?

    If they are the same architecture, than a higher frequency processor will be faster.

    3gb vs 2gb Vista Home Premium

    I was looking at how much it would roughly to cost to upgrade to an i7 system using the lowest new i7 processor(920). And when looking at the ddr3-1066 memory(920 can only support up to that) I started to wonder was is it worth the extra money to get 3gb of ram. I know that the difference...

    Basic case

    I'm looking for a cheap case to build a low end pc. It's only going to be used for internet browsing, low end games and watching movies. It's never going to be overclocked. I have a processor already (e8200), and I will add a low end graphics(such as an nvidia 8400gs). But the only cases I've...

    Price drop?

    Another thought: I want to get a processor that I won't need to upgrade again in the next couple of years. Would I be better going for e8600 or Q9550/9650? I want to be able to play new computer games, and I do a bit of video transcoding to my 360 and burning to dvds.

    Intel Core i7 (Nehalem) Released.

    This link shows that the i7 processors won't be able to use any of the high performance DDR3 ram over voltges of 1.7. I'm thinking that most of the people who would buy an i7 processor straight away will be looking to buy the best and probably overclock, and therefore have high performance ram...

    Price drop?

    With the new i7 processors coming out in october, can anyone give a good estimate of how much the existing core 2 duos will drop, if they will drop at all. As I am thinking of buying either a Q9550 or a Q9650, but need to now if it's worth waiting for a couple of months to get a better price.
