oh okay then.
also may i ask, is the 950 itself a good CPU? also a good overclocker?
as in the link i provided earlier, it showed the 930 going to 4GHz, maybe the 950 can do better perhaps?
anyone?

pleaseee?
hello?
please anyone?
I would help if I knew anything about intel sockets but its not my area of expertise.
oh okay then.
well i was wondering if anyone does might know.
cause i dont belive entirely that overclocking is about pure luck, too many people has done it and gotten good results from it.
i know i have talked about the Pentium 930 here asit been the subject here, but since we all know it is a 3.0GHz processor and can be overclocked to 4.0GHZ, which is by 1GHz (which is quite amazing, may i ask if anyone here might know if the Pentium D 950 3.40GHz is also worth buying? and it been a 3.40GHz, can it also be overclocked by about 1GHz as well?

Even If you could get a 1Ghz OC I doubt your computer even would be any faster as there is already is a large bottleneck between the Cpu, Bus, and memory theres a bigger chance of losing performance at those speeds.
Expect maybe an extra 200Mhz thats about it, any higher and the bus/memory cant keep up.
well thry done it with the 930, and no more eally, and the results went fine. and not to forget, they also used a zalamans fan too. dont forget that.
but with hte 950, and it being a C1 stepping now, just wondering how much of a good overclocker it is then.
anyone?
Ok, I am going to make this VERY easy for you:
DO NOT GET ANY PENTIUM D*
Pentium D's are TERRIBLE. They are no match for the Core 2. I kid you not, just be a little patient and you will be rewarded in spades.
There is but ONE exception to the rule (and I hella mean ONE), and it's the Pentium D 805 [new stepping]. Read here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/05/..._41_ghz_cores/
i did not read it all but woah!
it is stil something i would not get, i have lost enough Intel Core 2s and i am not as doshy as u think. i am on a tight budget, and the Pentium D can in many ways withstand and operate as good as an AMD.
find the link i posted before about the 930 @ 4GHz.
thus that is your opinion but i appreciate it very much.
i only ask for that simple question as maybe anyone here might know, and i do not mean that in a rude way at all.
forgot wat was the rest i was going to say, but anyone please? can help me just answer that question?
appreciate it very much. thanks.
im sure you lot can agree that the Pentium D's are not all bad.
the Intel Core 2's are more or less newer versions of D's and D's can do very well.
i myself is not exactly an extremeness, bu i would like just to take that part into the Pentium D's and i was hoping u lot can help.
thus the C1 Core stepping helps alot asew,, as unlike older versions of the 900 series of the D's which run at 135W, the C1 core stepping runs at 95W and i assume it would help alot wen it comes to overclocking.
Well, if you want the much more expensive chip to run at 4Ghz, be my guest. Whereas, the Pentium D 805 is only $130.
You see, what makes the Pentium D's suck so bad is 2 things:
1. Built on NetBurst architecture, which is shit.
2. The way Intel implemented dual-core on the Pentium D's means that half the time one of the cores is starved for bandwidth. They perfected dual core in the Core and Core 2's.
I'm telling you though, it's a world of difference. But, do what you wish, I'll lose no sleep over it.
netburst and core architectures are very different, core processors don't come from pentium Ds.
The Pentium D isn't a bad processor in itself, but a core 2 duo seems better for all the reasons we gave above.
I have Pentium D and it runs clean. I got it since someone told me it was better than Pentium 4.Btw is this true?
if it's dual core, yes. Else there's little difference.
hey everyone. its been awhile.
i hope this one is okay:

wat u lot think?
anyone? at all?
its an Intel Core 2 and also wated to know wat u lot think s well as price range.
anyone? please?
