What CPU's Can I Run? ETC... - Off-topic

Alright guys here's my PC Setup
HP 6214y:
MOBO: Pegatron m2n78-la (Violet) http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01635734
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 620(2.6GHz) NO OC
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 6770 Single Slot ~ 850/1200 NO OC
PSU: 650W Antec Earthwatts
RAM: 8GB DDR2
HDD: 1TB WD & LaCie 2TB External HDD
Monitor: 20" HP 2009f
Now i know the motherboard lists as AM2 yet my HP is running the Athlon II x4 620 which that says is AM3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103706
So i was wondering if there is any Newer CPU i could run on this MOBO and if it would bottleneck my GPU?
So i had in mine the http://www.frys.com/product/7018861?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG which is 125w compared to my 95w Athlon II.
Any suggestions *i do not want to run Intel at all* So please no wars just need help, only your honest opinions on what i can do PLEASE & THANKS!

Newest amd socket is FM1, so I'm afraid you're limited to am3.

well under tech specs it says that the AMD FX 4170 under the link i provided says socket type is AM3+ so i still can run it?
If not what could you recommend because thats cheaper than the Phenom series and their higher clocked as well i mean factory clock speed is 4.2GHz Quad Core

So if my MOBO says it supports AM2+ that means it can run AM3 just not AM3+?

Possibly, it really depends on your bios if it can run am3 or not.

You can try asking here so that you don't keep bumping this thread.
I'm closing this because of the link I just provided. That's the thread for computer Q&A.

processors

can anyone explain betweeen the intel core duo and quad...obviously price and duo and quad....and which is better intel or AMD, also wut is the best processor under 200
i guess no one kno
better, no idea,
core duo and quad are so named because duo has 2 processors on one die, and quad has 4 on one die
i think theres not much difference between them these days,
and the best for sub 200 quid, get the highest cache, FSB and Speed you can obviously
Best Quad Under 200$ (195$): Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor Model HH80562PH0568M
Best Dual Under 200$(190$): Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80570E8400
There you go

ok, that was nice from u. But at the site u can choose benchmark and compare the performance of the CPUs (unfortunately I dont know if there is posibility to campare intel duo and quad, need to look at it).
EDIT: http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/...,1225,1291,1223,1222,1289,1279,1313,1276,1311
that should do it.
coo...thnks ppl, that duo under 200 3.0 is nice i thnk ima get that one, its prolly on newegg

Need your opinions on PC hardware

Hi there everybody,
its Christmas time and I am going to buy myself a present, new PC. I need your opinions on the hardware that I have chosen. If u have something of it just tell me if u are satisfied with it or not.
OK, here it is:
CPU: intel core 2 quad Q6600
MB: ASUS P5Q PRO
GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX260 CUDA 896 MB HTDP PCX
CASE: NZXT ALPHA
POWER: ATX CoolerMaster M620
Two more questions, the MB is supporting crossfire, but I have older nviadia that is supporting SLI technology, would it be possible to use the SLI technology with the nvidia 260?
What about the power source? How big it should be? Isnt 620W too much?
Thanks a lot in advance for your input.

Computer RAM

Hello ..
Does anyone know what the difference between 1333MHz RAM and 1066MHz RAM is? what is best? and some who know about my Acer Aspire 4820 supports 1333 RAM, as these "Komputerbay 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 SODIMM (204 pin) 1333Mhz PC3 10600 8GB"
The Specifications on the RAM I have right now.
Memory Technology DDR3 SDRAM
Max. Memory Size 8 GB
RAM 4 GB
Memory Speed ​​1066 MHz
SO DIMM 204-pin
Configuration Features 2 x 2 GB
Ram 4 GB
Your Acer Aspire 4820 has Intel Core i7 620M or i5-450M Processor? if so, I doubt that it supports 1333 MHz.
Have a look here or here. Memory Types DDR3-800/1066
You can insert 1333MHz RAM card but it will down clock to 1066MHz.
Of course, more MHz = more speed but first CPU should support it.
Thank you.. But maybe I should have wrote more details about my PC.
It is a Model 4820-374G50Mnks and it only has a I3 Processor
Clock Speed ​​2.4 GHz
manufacturer Intel
Speed ​​2 to 2.9 Ghz
Type Core i3
Multi-Core 2 cores
Processornr. I3-370M
Still the same or?

Thanks for more details but 370M is also same in regards to RAM support. DDR3-800/1066 and upto 8GB. look here.
Thanks for your quick answers, it was really helpful

You seem to be missing a motherboard!
As this has nothing to do with Android or Windows Phone mobile devices, moved to Off-topic.
I'm no expert, but I would definitely be getting a MUCH higher output PSU.

And maybe clue us in on your budget, because what I see so far is a mixed bag, half-empty.

If he is just running the the single hard drive and perhaps a low-mid range gaming card that PSU will work fine. When you start adding more drives and high power hungry gaming cards then yes he would need to move up to a higher dual rail PSU.

Thats correct, I only plan on using one optical drive, one hard drive and just the integrated graphics on the i3 so that PSU should hold up fine.

Its pretty much just a low budget computer for family use, nothing big.
So the question still remains, do you guys see any incompatibility issues?

But I would make the following changes/additions:
- Bump the RAM up to 2 x 4GB
- Throw in an SSD.

Yup.
To the OP...You can always go higher, but if the you budget is strict, build it, use it, then make your determination.

Thanks for the replies guys. The reason I ask is because these are the parts I purchased to rebuild the family computer. Well I plugged everything in and the fans spun and everything but I got no video signal on my monitor. I tried with a discrete graphics card and with every possible input on the mobo but still no video signal. I RMA'd as defective but I wanted to make sure I didn't make a dumb mistake when something was incompatible.

I tried a cheap PNY GEFORCE GT 610, just to see if it would work but still no video signal.
I shouldn't even need a graphics card though, the 2120 has integrated HD 2000 Graphics and the motherboard supports HD 2000/3000

Yeah, the integrated CPU graphics should handle normal use just fine.
The gt610 I think is DDR3...is that what the motherboard supports?

Before even installing the discrete graphics card I did try connecting my monitor straight to the mobo, with VGA, DVI, and HDMI but nothing ever worked and it was then when I decided I would try the graphics card to see if I could get legacy video support but nothing.

Help me get rid of Intel-itis

Just bought a PC for $550. Specs:
AMD Phenom 965
8GB Of G Skill DDr3 Memory, In dual channel mode
MSI 970A G-45 Motherboard with USB 3.0, Crossfire, UEFI BIOS(You can navigate the BIOS with a mouse), and many many other useful features
XFX 6950 Graphics Card.
Seagate Constellation SATA 3.0 Six GBPS 2 TB Hard Drive(2, 000 GB!!)
Cooler Master 600 Watt Power Supply
Okay, I can do just about everything on this PC(Play BF3, MW3, Crysis 2, etc) but I have that old "Intel" mindset that all Intel CPUs are good and that I should have one. I am not sure how this CPU compares with my old i7 920, but whatever.
Help me get rid of Intel-itis please!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Already tried that, made my disease worse cause the i7 looks better

There is your answer then. Intel CPUs are, generally, better than AMD - that is why I got a decent laptop with an i7 in it this time around, rather than getting a budget AMD-based system that I knew I would regret buying after 6 months or so.
Dude seriously stop opening new threads just to rehash what was in one of the old threads you had already opened.
