how do you guys find out the clock speed that your CPU's are working at?

don't you right click "my computer" and go to system?
and i think there is your clock speed,
i am sorry i can't give you exact information, cuz i am at school computer. lol

control panel-->system it should be there on the first tab under the "computer" heading

Also in the POST report.

AMD all the way on my home machine....Intel at work though. It's harder to buy branded systems with AMD chips in them.

Amd

I'm AMD fan myself. They seem alot more stable to me. I've had intels all the time till my new computer I build. I was a little hesitent when it came to AMD. but, it worked out great. I haven't had any problems with my AMD. Only thing I can honestly say about AMD is that they produce ALOT of heat compared to Intel...

What chips are you comparing here? Cause AFAIK, the P4 Presscott and Pentium D are the biggest heat-makers

 

[Praetor]

They seem alot more stable to me

For the most part, CPUs are stable period.

the P4 Presscott and Pentium D are the biggest heat-makers

1. PentiumD doesnt make that much heat. Quite the contrary in fact
2. Dont forget the AthlonXP.

 

[Bobo]

2. Dont forget the AthlonXP.

I wasn't factoring it in because AMD doesn't make it anymore

Despite being more or less shunned by the enthusiast community for poor performance per clock and high power consumption and heat production levels, the Intel Pentium-D processor has still continued to sell quite well.

Why do you say that they don't produce much heat?

 

[4W4K3]

The PentiumD 820 runs 95W, seems like they'd be hot to me as well.

Although, I did read that in laptops the PentiumD is good because it's not as hot as alot of A64 based notebooks. Seems like alot of confusion.

Is that a mobile Pentium D (is there such a thing) and/or a mobile A64?

 

[4W4K3]

I don't think there are mobile PentiumD's, Google has nothing.

I know AMD has a mobile A64, i think they are called "DTR" CPU's, only can be used in laptop mobo's so far.

 

[Bobo]

Well I don't know why the AMD would be hotter than Intel. For anybody considering getting an AMD laptop, though, I would definitely go with the Turion, not the A64.

But as to the temps, I have heard that the AthlonXPs run hot, but my A64 3400+ (desktop) never goes above 50*C

 

[4W4K3]

Mobile AthlonXP's are quite cool. Older XP's however got pretty hot.

Thought i would bring this up here...

I went at oc'in my cpu again this morning, and i got it up from 2.0Ghz to 2.6Ghz on stock cooling! (and yes i mean stock, that air intake isnt on anymore). I had to lower the HTT to 3x, and the memory to 133Mhz, and raise the cpu voltage to 1.475. I ran 3DMark06 as well as a few other cpu benchmarking tests as well.

 

[Dr Studly]

i have never owned a pentium 4 or an amd. but judging by what i have heard an read, i would go for an AMD

i have a Intel P3 866mhz 100mhz FSB and it is slow... but it seems is faster than my brothers celeron at like 2ghz and faster than my sisters P4 at 1.4ghz.
so if i build my next pc i am gona get a amd. but if i had tons of money and could get ANY processor i would get this intel over any amd

^^i want that bad boy

 

[Dr Studly]

my FSB is 133mhz and in my signature says i use my pc for music, but if i had a good one it would b 4 gaming

My personal Opinion

All computer machanics and people who work around computer knnow windows is shit on crap computers.


so if i was u scrap that cpu and get the new but excellent amd sempron 64bit edition with a Nvidia geforce 4 mx400 graphics card and also increase HD size (optional) and also the ram these things make a huge difference

buying part individually is alot cheaper in the longrun TRUST ME!!!

youll have a gaming pc in no time with low costs

also a gd tip is find these thing youre looking 4 and dont buy it straight away spend a bit of time shopping around it works.

technically i bought a full on gaming pc with high tech graphics, cpu, ram and sound for under £80

whoops wrong link soz peple

Except it won't run games.
