Jumpy clocks.

CPUZ jumpy clock speeds

I've read other places with regards to the P6T deluxe at least, to enable APCI 2.0 in the bios to resolve this issue.

Best CPU Stressor Out There

Without thermal protection, you could melt your cpu, motherboard. It could get ugly. :-(

which CPU to get?

If you can afford the premium of an i7, it will run rings around the quad for video editing and video recoding. It is true a small minority of games do not run faster in the i7, but by and large the i7 smacks down the quad core intel chips in most games, but you pay for it. The Phenom II is a...

Photoshop CS3 CPU Usage

What is that saying about the weakest link? Deciding on the components to upgrade is dependent on the way one uses their system. I would think for heavy graphics usage a faster hard drive and slow cpu is just as much as a bottleneck as a fast cpu with slower hard drives.

High i7 temps for stock clocks?

That's about right. There is a lot of variability that people report with this chip in terms of temperature. I RMAd my first chip because stock temps went to 100C when running Prime95.

VMware workstation machine

Different strokes for different applications. Since you don't know what I manage, and I'm not saying, you can either take my comments at face value, or not. Either way it doesn't matter. I have about 4 years of optimizing applications and server environments for vm conversion, so I have a...

VMware workstation machine

That may have been true with previous cores, but I'm not sure about this with Nehalem. I run about 10 heavy duty application servers a mix of vms under ESX and physical boxes with up to 8 physical cores and lots of memory. Our vendor recommends HT off, but we've benchmarked and kept HT on.

VMware workstation machine

An i7 will give you twice the number of vcpus. You can ask the question of vmwares' workstation forum, I'm sure the developers will chime in with the nod toward the i7. At any rate the Nehalem server cores should obliterate the Shanghai cores.

First Phenom II review + New review 26th

I'll take the free turbo boost. Thank you. To be fair I have seen examples on high end Intel servers having thousands of connections where the software vendor recommended turning off hyperthreading for better results in enterprise class applications. But on these desktops hyperthreading...
