Where could I get energy efficient AM2 semprons in the US?

Hi, Thanks a lot for the replies. Seeing that it is significantly more expensive than the regular version, I am now thinking of trying undervolting. I have some more questions: Do most motherboards support undervolting? Would the motherboard manufacturer list that kind of information? Thanks.

Where could I get energy efficient AM2 semprons in the US?

Hi, I am trying to buy an energy efficient AM2 Sempron CPU in the US. The Sempron 64 3000+ , in particular. Its model number is SDD3000IAA3CN. Instead of the usual 62W thermal rating, it has 35W. I am having trouble finding any US online store that sells these. Any info would be helpful. Thanks...

Falcon Northwest or ????

Okay, using www.newegg.com, I configured an identical system, except for a few parts, in which case, I substituted with more expensive parts. The total: $3,429 with shipping cost of 87.75, INCLUDED. So yes, it is full $2000 less than the price you suggested. Here is a very crude copy-and-paste...

Falcon Northwest or ????

Hey, how are you? I will give you my two cents on your two questions. Hope other people with more experience will post. 1. About DirectX 10 video card compatibility: I am not 100% sure about this, but DX10 cards initially will be PCI-E and will not have any problem working on a motherboard...

Does a AM2 system really benefit from dual channel memory

Hi, From all I have heard, dual channel is much better than single channel. However, I found a surprising little article on the Inquirer by googling "dual channel am2." - http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33094 According to it, AM2 systems do not seem to benefit much from dual...

Help convince my 9-year-old cousin he's wrong!

That's cute. I have a younger cousin who once thought coins were worth more than bills because they were shiny. It actually might be a good learning experience to ride with him on the economy. You might want to show him clearly that economy class is a very uncomfortable place. Maybe get him a...

Hi, I am a student thinking of getting a new laptop and Maya 7.0. I would like the laptop to run Maya, but I am not sure if it's capable. The laptop I am thinking of is the Uniwill 259EN3 which has the switchable video card. It can switch between the dedicated nVidia GeForce Go 6600 and the...

Looking for a decent full width microatx case for HTPC

Aaahhh, only if I had more money! Those HTPC cases look great, but the price is way out of my range. Check out this case from Kanam (about $220 a pop): Kanam HTPC Case It's a little bit too big for my taste, but the panels... I guess I can buy them separately from xoxide.com or some other...

What is going on with MXM?

Hey all, While trying to get a laptop, I learned about the Mobile PCI-Express Module from nVidia. I think it's been out for over a year, but it doesn't seem to be available except on very high-end systems. I don't think IBM even has any laptop with MXM. Does anybody know what's the status on...
