AM2+ cpu in AM2 slot performance loss. We all know that you will lose some performance if you do this, but how much? I don't have the slightest clue about the inner workings of a CPU, so I really have no gauge on what would cause performance loss, or how much...

What is the performance loss on putting an AM3 CPU on a AM2+ Mobo?. Title says it all really. Just how severe is the difference between using an AM2+ Socket Mobo instead of an AM3 Socket only Mobo?. Title says it all really. Just how severe is the difference...

Performance loss due to HT downgrade. I just bought the ASUS M2N68-AM plus motherboard and the AMD Athlon II X2 250 CPU. Unfortunately, I noticed from discussions on the internet that this motherboard cripples the processor to use HT1, rather than HT3. I...

then Prime95 and PCMark2002-CPU didn't seem all too bad off until they hit rock bottom memory performance. 2) The performance loss scales fairly normally until you hit SC DDR266, where it kills the performance badly. So it seems that the P4 not only performs...

loss). Can someone help me with this? No, you can't just reduce heat a lot without a significant performance loss. However, you might not need 3.4GHz worth of performance- we can't determine that need for you. Even so, the CPU is multiplier locked...
