if you want to build a pc you will not need to change any thing in it say for 10 or 5 years what do you think about the specification for Intel and AMD ?

I actually prefer Intel based PC's than AMD's, I had too many heating issues with AMD's, and Intel CPU's run a little cooler.... If a PC is built today and only used as a home computer, for standard "Home" computing it would be good for at least 5 years (by this time i would be considered a dinosaur!) , If you do a lot of gaming and are constantly keeping up with newer games, then I would say a new PC today will be good for 3 to 6 months, maybe a year, I say this because, it seems as everytime a new game comes out, you need a faster and better PC than what you already have, and most newer games are based on newer and better video cards.....

I had just built a PC about 1 year ago for a friend, (It had an AGP slot for video card....) and just recently I had to upgrade his Motherboard/CPU/RAM/and power supply to accomodate the newer PCI express video card he needed for a new game......


So basically a computer will be good until you need to upgrade something in it...... I have one PC I built in 1996 (WOW that was a long time ago) it still runs fine (win98), but all it is good for now is running my Homemade CNC PCB Mill/Drill....

yeah that's why i asked that question that you need to upgrade any thing by the time
i have

intel pentium d 3ghz 800mhz fsb 4mb cash
ecs 954 mother
1 gb ram x 2 800
hd 160 sata western
ati sappher 4670 1gb memory ddr3
power supply 450 w
samsung 17" screen
DVD RW samsung
CD WR samsung

when we talking about intel processor speciall about the cash what is the difference between saying L2 cash = 4 mb and L2 cash = 2 x 2 mb ?

until some body find a solution i have to use vmware with windows 2000

Usually that would refer to Duo Core/Core 2 Duo (both are dual core no matter how any one says it...) CPU's (or Quad Cores) access to the cache, usually if it is a Duo core and says 4Mb L2 Cache it would be shared between cores, in the 2x2MB L2 Cache, each core would have access to each 2Mb bank of cache (in a quad core each duo core would share a bank of 2 mb each.....).....

are you thinking about upgrading??

honestly yes i want to upgrade my intel Pentium D to higher one and the closest choose is the core 2 family but i want a processor with the same frequency (not less than 3GHZ) and also the cash may be higher (> 4mb) but the problem is that 1st we should check the compatibility of the mother to work with the processor cause the soket and the 65 and 45 nm tech and that's make me ask is it matter the tech of the processor if they have the smae soket size (LGA 775) ?

and if iam going to upgrade the mother 1st i want to get the

GA-EP41-UD3L (rev. 1.0)

but it says about processor

"Supports 45nm Intel® Core™ 2 multi-core processors with FSB 1333 MHz"
"Support for an Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme processor/ Intel® Core™ 2 Quad processor/Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor/ Intel® Pentium® processor/Intel®®processor in the LGA775 package"

but no thing about intel pentium D processors then dose it not support them or just enough to say " Intel® Pentium® processor" ?

[walid el masry]

that's what iam using now

ECS 945GCT-M2/1333 (V1.0A)
