You will be more welcomed to dig on AMD's Tech Analyst Day (June 1, 2006) presentation slides. Smile In summary, do not go AM2 if you have a semi decent 939 system. Current C2D LGA 775 boards are/will be compatible with the upcoming Kentsfield (Q4 of 2006) and the Conroe die shrink in second half o...

Doesn't matter if you lose HT3.0 in a single socket board. Good, K8L in 2007, then the desision is Am2 upgrade to K8L. s939 4x4 ( to actually use HT 3.0) or a single socket board with you choice of memory. Probably AM3 for most up to date chipset, Conroe users can go AM2/3 to reuse ol memory. Don't ...

s754 was released as a value socket, and to get A64 out quickly. s939 was held up by the pci-e spec. So AMD held s939 til pci-e was ready. EVERYONE knew s939 would soon be out before s754 was launched. There was no deception or false promises. My early s939 is compatable with all s939 chips. That's ...

You can't really compare the X2 4600 with the E6600. The 6600 is a lot faster than the 4600, it even manages to beat the FX-62 in some benchmarks. The 4600 is much closer to the E6400 in terms of performance, and that is priced a little below the 4600. Based on most reviews, I would say the E6600 i...

Historically intel will do something to prevent upgradability. If they don't change sockets they will change voltage requirements, as they did with these C2D's vs the engineering samples which could be used on older 775 boards. They have done this with all sockets since slot 1 (or if you like, socke...

That method would be fine with me Jazz, but what if WD or Seagate wouldn't accept warranty items except through the retailer, and NewEgg refused to help in anyway, while still offering the items for sale with a 1 or 3 yr warranty listed?

The retailer will have responsibility for repair or replacement for a statutary period (1 Yr in the UK) and then the manufacturer takes over. Ususually on a user pays ...

I basically agree with all the above, plus, it is even more flexible.

You can move the drive cage wherever ...

I have the older s12-600 with 1 pci-e connector. the other main difference is that the older model has a 24 pin main connector vs the 20+4 pin. Except for the stickers, the box is the same, so maybe an older psu got stuckin the box. Unplug your psu, and carefully re check all your connections includ...

You have 32 amps of 12v total to play with. Do the math with what you will be using. Go to the review and estimate what the temps and noise will be at that level. If either level is uncomfortable move up to a higher output psu. If you are building low end probably, if high end, it might not be worth...

RAM - You theoretically could use the RAM you have already, but you'll have to underclock the system quite a bit to make it compatible. Not true, the system will automatically detect and run the memory at 333, with no latency hit. Cpu wll run at default speed, and the a64 is not bandwidth limited, ...

The nV5 always runs at full speed, perhaps an ati 800xl? would be a better choice. it uses less power and I believe the ati version of the AC hs-fan is temp controlled. The nv5 although not loud will be the loudest fan (24/7) if your 80's are quiet. Don't worry about cnq, as the bios controlled fan ...

Don't know about welding, but usually solder would be used, or braizing if more strength was needed. the welding eqipement usually available is much to large, and welding doesn't flow to cover all the contact surfaces like solder. Do copper and aluminum melt at appx the same temp, if not you can not...

From http://www.silentpcreview.com/article217-page3.html Note that modern systems (after 2003) tend to draw most of their power off the 12V line. ATX12V PSU Design Guideline v1.3 and beyond specify much higher current for the 12V line than in the past. As a result, older PSUs that deliver high enoug...
