worker Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 How many volts does a 2.6GHZ or a 3.0GHZ intel processor use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 it's not the volts, it's the wattage... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

worker Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Anyone see this intel processor before? I did not know they came out with one that went 3.6GHZ. Â http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc....-116-181&depa=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantonr Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 I hope nobody has mentioned this already but i read the first 18 pages of this post and then decided that it was going to take me far too long to read all 52 pages. Â I think that Intel chips are better as they are much easier to build with, AMD's are cheaper but the Intels are better quality. A friend of mine actually snapped his motherboard in half becuase the clips on the heatsink for the AMD are so tight that when he finally clipped them on, goodbye motherboard. Â Another of my friends also built an AMD machine without breaking his motherboard and for the same reason the processor keeps being unseated from the socket so sometimes the PC just won't boot or it might give out half way through a session.

markiemrboo Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 and whats to stop the same things happening with intel chips, if you happen to be rather unlucky? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 Hey mantonr, ever heard of a bolt on heatsink? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 all i can say is right now amd is ahead of the game with the 64 out. Intel can only keep up with them with the EE. But intel has some better plans coming. So right now i would go with a 64 instead of intel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fire_storm Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 We will see how it goes I am sure that amd will come out with somthing new as intel comes out with somthing new too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But intel has some better plans coming. So right now i would go with a 64 instead of intel. Like you said...Sortof...Intel is going to comeback. The AMD64/FX line will top out, then Intel will bring out something to take the taco. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
