Single versus dual core CPUS

these were the case 2 or 3 years ago but alot has changed since.

the only real pros of amd right now are the onboard memory controller and the fact that even the top spec mobos are cheap. nothing else, in a cpu versus cpu/bang per buck fight the core2duos win every time.

intels are cooler running, use less power and does more per cycle.

the tables have turned since 2003

Actually the 423 socket CPU is not that bad since this was the first generation of P4. I setup a PC using this 423 CPU with an Intel 815 Chipset using PC800 RDRAM way back in 2002. This system is still running & I changed the MB & the videocard twice. Last longer than some systems using 478 CPU.

 

Well considering in 2002 they had 3ghz P4's with HT no its not that good.
The RDRAM was fast but expesive like hell and still is and considering once again the had DDR ram late 01 and by 02 they had fast DDR 1 ram.
So it lacked there as well.
Another Pointer the i815 Chipset isnt a pentium 4 Chipset instead its one of the Newest Avalible Pentium 3 Chipsets dont belive me i have one running an Intel D815EFV Mainboard which runs a P3 Coppermine with 512mb SD RAM.
I think you mean the Intel I845 Chipset which was releasd in very early 01 and Ran the 1.3ghz to 2ghz 423 socekts.
They were alright but they could have done much better come on if they thought it was so amazing they wouldnt have released a brand new chip within only 12months, completely re-made with a new bus HT technology.

 

Yeah it's not 815 chipset. It's an Intel 850GB chipset & built in late 2001. I do not have any choice at that time because DDR RAM has not appear yet & RDRAM was so promising yet so expensive & my customer wants the latest system. In fact the first batch of 815 chipset system were so screwed-up. It was supposed to work with PC2100 266 RAM but couldn't & have to use SDR 133 RAM instead. It's very surprising that this 423 CPU system can last so long. Much longer than some 845 chipset system that I built for other customers.
