I'm pretty sure that the Toledo core 939 AMD processors benchmark higher than the dual core Pentium D processors, but from what I hear the new AMD AM2 Dual cores are no match for the Pentium Core2 Duo processors. The new Pentiums seem to be king at the moment.

thanks. I noticed that when building my computer online the 2 processors were the same price. I guess I'll stick with Pentium.

ebega is right. The AMD dual core cpu's will outperform the pentium D dual core cpu's.

Just a note, new version of RB Pro is out today:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=75452

Looks like some nice improvements.

if was going to buy a computer and make it online what company should I buy from? I've been buying Dell for a long time but was looking at HP. Was even thinking Sony if its worth the extra money.

dump the box systems and do a custom built

that would be the best choice since I could get all premium parts, but I don't know how to do it myself. Does CompUSA help people build their own computers. Sadly I only know enough about computers to build one online like Dell but not enough to do it myself. Just not familiar enough with all the parts and hardware. What should I do?

@VJbob

do you have any small local computer repair shops or anything by your house or in your area? if you do they might be able to build one for you with what you want in it.

VJbob , yes check your local PC shop i am sure they can help you out. also jion us here for more info.

your def. way better off building one than doing a box system

Thanks. I'll definitely post in the official PC builder thread when I start and have the money and resources to do the computer. Thanks for the help.

Speeds with my Core2Duo here:

I know I started this thread and Heres what went with
AMD 5200+ - 64 Freezer Pro Fan
MSI KN9 Platinum
DDR2-800: DDR-SDRAM - 1GB thinking of going to 2GB
Disk Drive SAMSUNG HD040GJ (37 GB, IDE)
Disk Drive Maxtor 6G160E0 (149 GB, IDE)
(The System Analyser say IDE put they are 3GB/sec SATA drives)
NEC ND 4551A
Video Adapter ATI Radeon X300 (RV370)
ATI TV wonder

Also upgradeing the Video Adapter ATI Radeon X300 (RV370) to an PCIe All in Wonder

Why is it taking me so damn long? I'm running 3 passes CCE SP, check sig for my system specs....i'll soon be upgrading to AMD athlon x2 64 6000+ and 2 gig of corsair XMS2 Dominator ram

that really isn't out of line for your current setup using 3 passes especially if it is full disc.

here's a 7.35gb folder I encoded with RB Pro/CCE SP 3 passes. I also selected create an iso and burn automatically so you can subtract another 8 minutes for burn time. 64 minutes to rebuild, encode, and create the iso ain't too shabby.

well when i upgrade to an AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+ and 2 gig of corsair dominator ram would my times be the same or close to what you are getting?

your times will improve dramatically if you move up to a 3.0ghz X2 AMD CPU. they will not however be as fast as mine. clock per clock intel C2D's will outperform anything AMD has and also my E6600 C2D is OC'ed to 3.6ghz.

like I said though, you will see a significant improvement in your times moving from an AMD single core 2.0ghz cpu to an AMD dual core 3.0ghz cpu but they still won't be as good as if you were using a C2D with the equil clock speed.

how much was your processor and how hard was it to overclock to 3.6ghz and keep it stable? Do you use stock cooling, upgraded fan, or water cooling?

I paid $311 for my cpu. I am using a zalman CNPS9500LED hsf. 3.6ghz is as high as I recommend on air. it's at it's limits. I know of some going as high as 3.9ghz with water. keep in mind a big part of being able to OC a cpu also depends on the mobo and ram.

@mimesis

If you are on a tight budget, you can get the E6400 for $20 or so cheaper than what you are going to shell out for the AMD... I have my E6400 oc'ed to 3.2GHz on air. Overclocking to 3.2 GHz can be done very easily with minimal changes to voltages, etc. This was my very first build, so, that oughta say something about the simplicity of stably overclocking the Core2Duo's. Just "google" to get some baseline settings... See my sig for other components...

the E6420 is starting to become available. it has the same clock speed as the E6400 except it has 4mb cache as opposed to 2mb cache. they're both about the same price. very good cpu for someone on a budget. OC it to 3.0ghz or 3.2ghz and it will easily outperform the AMD X2 6000+ and for less money.

@mort81....i have the same cpu board and ram as yourself...can you give me a few settings to try as id like to go to 3gig with my 6600..ive tried googling but im not getting the right info thanks

pieman,

I'll PM you.

Just a small note:

The physical size of DVD does not necessarily have any bearings on the time it takes to encode it. A 7.6 gigabyte movie can take less time than a 6.6 Gigabyte movie. The reason is that there are other variables that affect the total encode time assuming the same RB and encoder settings. Many DVD's have multiple sound tracks that increase the size of a ripped DVD and sound has little affect on encode times. A 6.6 Gigabyte movie might actually contain more video content than a 7.6 Gigabyte movie because it is the total number frames that has the greatest affect on a given rigs encode speeds. So to make comparisons one would have to be encoding the exact same movie using the exact same settings and encoder.

At this time the fastest encoding systems are those that are Intel Conroe based. They will encode about 30% faster than the fastest AMD based Dual core.

I finally have my new PC up and running...

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Energy Efficient 95W edition (G0 Stepping)

MSI P35 Platinum Socket Motherboard

Zalman CNPS9700 LED Cooler

4GB Crucial Ballistix Memory DDR2 PC2-8500 5-5-5-15 Unbuffered NON-ECC DDR2-1066MHz

4x 500GB Western Digital WD5000AAKS disks (though only have one setup so far), 31C at idle, 44C max while using Rebuilder!

No overclocking as yet, it's just purring along on default settings (and completely silently), it's not too shabby at all, just did movie only mode of Pirates of the Caribbean World's End....
