<0> can Jebus989 install a floppy ?!
<1> BURRRN BABY
<0> AMD & Celeron in Pentium for the poor...
<1> ?
<1> AMD > intel
<2> That was my impression also
<0> *is
<2> Well. Until now. :) But I think something might not be configured properly.
<2> Which is why I was wondering how comparable the difference should be.
<3> http://images.anandtech.com/graphs/intel%20pentium%204%20570j_111304101117/5458.png
<3> keep in mind those are single core amd's
<3> and even faster P4's than you have
<3> if visual studio is multithreaded you should see a tremendous performance difference in your favor on the 4600
<3> maybe you do have something configured wrong?
<2> How do you tell if vs is multithreaded?
<1> Im sticking single core until M2
<3> maybe the documentation. id imagine visual studio would def be multithreaded tho
<3> you could check processes per core
<2> We're installing XP Pro x64 right now to see if maybe things change a bit. But I'll definitely check that
<3> that chart shows even single core amd64's outpacing P4's tho
<2> Well thank you for all of your help Jingles. You've been awesome!
<4> Do you need some help birdfish?
<2> momocs: if you have anything to add, id love it :)
<3> sorry i couldnt come up with a real answer, but at least you have some indicator of performance differences
<2> Jingles: no problem. I'm thankful for everything you could provide :D
<5> birdfish: how much memory do you have
<0> My Puter Stats OS~[Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 2 (5.1 - 2600)]~ Up Time~[hrs 16mins 22secs]~ CPU~[-Intel Pentium 4, 2593MHz, 512KB (0% Load)]~ Memory~[Usage: 398/511MB (77.89%)]~ Video Card~[Not Set]~ Resolution~[152 x 864]~ Total Space Free~[27.88Gb out of 347.37Gb]~
<5> you there birdfish
<0> Hard Drive Info Total Space Free~[27.88Gb out of 347.37Gb]~
<2> EneergE: hey :)
<2> I have 4 gigs of memory in the computer right now
<5> wow
<5> the performance boost over a p4 2.8 was minimal?
<2> Yeah, my dad definitely thought he was getting something that would run faster
<2> At best
<2> :/
<2> And that was probably slightly overclocked
<5> i have a 2.66mhz p4 laptop (533fsb) and my p4 3.4ghz is a pretty good bit faster than it
<5> and supposedly those 4600 should beat my p4
<2> That's what we though
<2> thought*
<5> did you reinstall windows?
<2> We're doing that right now
<2> Installed the x64 Version
<5> ok
<2> Does it matter if he did a quick format?
<5> you should benefit from it
<6> did you install the amd cpu driver?
<5> birdfish: nope... the extended format is just checking for errors. it takes like 5 seconds to format a disc
<2> Ah :D
<5> also
<2> dlion: I also told him that there was a driver to install. But he said that the motherboard recognized the cpu and didn't see why he needed to install a driver?
<5> winxp 64 will see 2 more gigs of memory than will the 32 bit version
<5> in your setup anyways... winxp can read more memory
<2> dlion: is that something that definitely has to be done?
<6> it should be
<6> you can get it from amd's website
<2> :)
<2> Also, should we leave the bios set to auto? Or are there certain things that need to be changed with a 64 bit chip?
<6> i would sa change command rate to 1t, but you cant do that because you have 4 dimms ;p
<6> unless you are overclocking, leave it all on auto
<6> you might wanna turn off unused things tho, like paralell, serial, midi, etc
<2> dlion: okay :)
<5> birdfish what kind of antivirus are you using
<7> im looking to build myself another pc but ive been off the grid for aver a year now
<5> ok
<5> how money you going to spend
<5> how much
<7> i know most of the brands i want
<7> about 900
<5> gamer?
<7> a whole new set up is what im looking at
<7> yep
<5> are you upgrading your video card too?
<7> im am starting from scratch again
<5> k
<7> thanks to my soon to be ex-wife
<5> well the 7800gt cost 300$ by itself
<5> that leaves 600$ for everything else, i hope u dont ened a monitor
<7> im not counting in a monitor in the 900
<5> k
<5> so what are you wanting
<7> i think i have a jank one i can use for now
<7> ive just started look at parts today
<5> what kinda system you got right now
<7> what is the dea;l with crossfire?
<7> i got nothing
<8> Crossfire is ATi's answer to SLI
<5> thats running two ati cards together for performance
<5> yeah answer to nvidia's sli
<5> it's not as mature as sli though
<8> yep
<8> ALTHOUGH
<8> While nvidia requires two of the same model card
<7> is the fatality boards worth the money\
<5> ati dont
<8> ATI requires they be of the same series, and one be the "Crossfire edition"
<8> For example, I could use an x850xt pe CE (Crossfire Edition) and with that could use the x850, x850 pro, x850xt, or x850xt, OR another x850xt CE
<5> so you building a intel?
<7> hell no
<7> amd
<5> hehe
