The intels quad and dual core cpus out perform AMD's.

I think AMD needs to utilize the most popular socket (am2) and build a energy efficent quad core that will crunch numbers just as the quads will is not better!

AMD Get your act together.

AMD made another dumb move, making a 2 processor quad system and its only special to that MOBO.

What do you guys think.

Can you please tell me what are the latest desktop microprocessors released by (1)Intel, (2)AMD, (3)Motorola? And include prices and specs (or even just the name can work, I'll look for the prices myself). Can you also tell me what those three companies are planning to release next (desktop microprocessors). Thanks so much!

My computer works, but it doesnt work well...It normally works VERY poorly, but everything (mostly) that I need done on it, it'll do (with complications but Ive learned to work around them)

last night my computer randomly shut itself off while I was in the middle of doing something and today I loaded it up and its like....A BRAND NEW COMPUTER!!!
there are no files on it, every single file I had on it is deleted (not a problem nothing important lol) and its actually...WORKING...as weird as it sounds thats unsettling to me...what has my computer done to itself? Why is it all of a sudden actually working? Any answer would help

I dont know why kind of hard drive I have (theres not name on it or anything) and its been working poorly for a while, and all of a sudden today its actually working like a computer should be.....why?!?!

any answer would be helpful because my parents have been thinking of buying me a new computer...so if this one is working I dont need a new one...HELP!

I have an EVGA 7950 GT (512 MB) video card and a 7900 GT (256 MB) video card. I need to know if I can couple these together in SLI for better performance? I thought I had heard that any cards in the same series could be coupled in SLI mode and I dont care if Im forced to use only 256 MB of RAM or if they run at the slowest speed between the 2 cards.

If it is possible, can anyone tell me how to do this please? I have the SLI bridges from both cards, do I need both and which card and which of the 2 DVI slots (as there are 2 per card) do I attach my monitor to?

Thanks a ton in advance for your answer and possibly saving me alot of money.

I am not a computer expert, however I am willing to follow precise instructions. I need to wipe my computer and set up the windows XP on it again. Nothing is working and I need my clunker to work.
