AMD Phenom 2 x4 810' or 'Intel E8400'?. I'm currently designing a computer and i'm wondering which one of these two processors would be best for me. They are both in the approximate price range i'm looking for. I'm looking for something that will be able to...

and changes. So this is a preliminary list. The nunmbers in "(x)" is the price in DKK. I've underlined my areas of doubt. Motherboard: GA EP45 DS3R (1) CPU: Core 2 Duo E8500 (1.4) GPU: Asus 295 GTX (3.8) SSD: Intel X25-M (3) + NoName adapter (0.1) HD:...

Sapphire 100225L Radeon HD 3870 and 3ds max 9.. I believe that I can have my cake first then my green beans. I am putting together a system and know I will be able to run 3ds on the system. (Intel X38, Intel E8400, 2 Corsair 2GB DDR3 – PC3 10600, 2...

what I read is buying a E8500, a lot of the components I will be buying will also become obsolete as intel phases out 775. The 720BE will not have this problem. So I think if I/we decide on a E8500 option we should plan for a more-limited/costly upgrade...

to me that you already have a capable motherboard if you have the 45nm E5200 in there. I say upgrade to a better Intel CPU, like a Q9000 series quad core or E8400/E8500 dual core, and go with a 4870. You may also want to consider overclocking your E5200 for...

however, you need windows vista 64 bit to see all 4 gigs. 32 bit XP can only see around 3.5 gigs or so. a great bang for your buck processor is either the Intel e8400 or e8500. both would work on your motherboard. (6mb cache 1333 FSB). should run alot faster...

Here are the voltages at Idle: I have never overclocked. nForce 780i Motherboard --> Switched to ASUS P5Q 9800GX2 --> Switched to nVidia 7600GT 2GBs Ballistix RAM --> Switched to Patriot Viper Series Intel Core Duo e8400 @ 3.00GHz (replaced...

and multi-tasking in many areas, but for games, I'd stick with the E8500. why is it better for gaming? my cousin said that too. so what does the 4 cores do?? E8400/E8500 -- if you're only gaming the faster speed per core will improve your performance. With...

q6600 vs e8500 benchmarks only. I don't want to start a debate on which is better. I've seen countless threads around the net about it. Q6600 is probably better all-around and in the future, but e8500 is better for games out now and other applications that...

Intel E8500 or AMD Phenom II (for gaming). Hi there I'm about to purchase a new gaming rig and I'm currently considering various parts. My dilemma is which CPU I should pick up. My choice seems to be either an Intel E8500 with a corresponding Motherboard...
