Greetings,

Finally the last piece of a high-performance workstation (Intel Core 2 Duo Conroe). Here are the discussions on CPU and graphics card:

Essential questions about Internal Peripherals

* Power Supply

Preferred power supply (500W or more) for high-performance CPU? Many brands and products (450W -> 1000W). Which ones are accurate and reliable?

* CPU Fan

Thermaltake
Zalman

* New motherboards include on-board sound card, network card, etc.

Music and network connection are extremely important. What is the performance difference between on-board (internal) and stand-alone (independent) peripherals? Better to select stand-on sound card and network card to improve motherboard efficiency? Are on-board peripherals reliable?

the new AMD FX-62 with the AM-2 chipset is already superior to this and has smoked it in comparison tests. Even the older AMD 64 bit processors, stuck with sluggish DDR ram, has been better than the comperable intel procs with DDR2. I wouldn't be so ready to blow your money on the new intel chipset, something better by AMD is a much better alternative.
