i didnt do any research on this tho i should have or i could still in the time some one takes to respond but.. what Intel processor is the amd opteron 64 bit compared to ?
Depends which opteron, the 175 is equivalent to a the E6300 I suppose, the 185 maybe the E6550, but the Opterons aren't as overclockable.
yea i have th 175 in my box i was just wondering to see what one would be the equivelent if i ever switched to intel .. im not realy the over clocking type of guy with this processer it i have a little AMD sempron that i over clocked as long as you cool it well it can do some pretty amazing things the opteron already works amazing with the design i do , what would the jump be if i was going to do graphic design on an intel?
if the programs you use can make use of a quad core, quite a lot. Q6600s aren't that expensive nowadays, and you'd get a lot more done with one.
No problem. A proper quad-core responsive program will probably give you a 150% performance boost by using a Q6600.
Viiv is just a new technology implemented in most modern Intel CPUs. To most, it doesn't really mean much.
ok i understand . so they could have just thrown any old intel in there and slapped the viiv on there for a look .. basicly
