Great article ddp. A let down for me since I have a 3.2 P 4E. Oh well there will always be bigger, badder chips right after you buy one. I will be content with it until PCI Express is in the mainstream or better utilization of AMD 64.


Edit F'd up the link to Newbie Essentials! I am a dumb ass at 4 in morn!

@kinza

RAM works fine, no problems yet. I got free memory coolers with it, so I'm using those too.

Well really aD cut off the end of my sig when I added the links. So many links and so little space.

I know excuses, excuses, excuses!!!

Some of us are not prefect, but at least honest. A fellow here about once edited a blunder (that I mentioned). Then tried to tell me I was mistaken. God knows that never happens.

that would still affect the quality of the video right? if you burn video, that is.

Hey kinza, Majority of my backups are main-movie only,AC3 5.1 english only,and edit out the beginning and ending credits. If no compression,about 5 mins to encode. Avg 30 mins for total process time for the 10-20% range. On those larger dvd-9's like Lord of the rings, about 1 hour using max smooth and deep analysis enhancements.

I have done quite a few "B" movies,entire disc and no editing in under 18 mins,but they were around 4100-4200 mbs,very small.All of these are at 4x burn speed.

your motherboard might not support newer northwood cpus & probably not prescott at all. so intead get a new board & cpu as long as current ram is ddr if not than newer faster ddr ram

Should I get the 3.2e ghz with 2 mb L2 cache or 3.4e ghz with 1mb L2 cache? I don't want to skimp out on small details and end up returning stuff. Thanks.

there's only a seven dollar difference so it really doesn't matter. does the l2 cache really matter?
