Computer freaks: processor question here

05-28-2004, 04:53 PM

was looking at getting dual Xeons with Hyperthreading.....

is that not as good as say, a 3.x Ghz single P4 with hyperthreading? (the duals would be 2.x Ghz)

I just want the maximum performance I can get, so throw me a bone here.

the single would undoubtedly be cheaper....

but I want to get as good as I can get.... so whichever setup is better is the key.

Yeah 2 xeons would probably be a bit better.. really what you should look at is one of the athlon 64 high end chips.. (3200+ or 3400+) those are smoking for graphics, and games.. which are pretty much the same thing these days.

Photoshop 7 performance DUAL CPU

Photoshop 7 performance SINGLE CPU

According to these tests a Dual Xeon with 2.X is slower than a single P4, 3.0 for photoshop. Not too surprising the Xeons do not scale well

P4 3.0 for the best price/performance

Dual Opteron for best performance

Go with duel athlon 64.

Use a decen't size heat sink.

They are cheaper. I have used p4's and Athlons XP's

I have "heard great reviews with A64's"

Run the System on Hyper X Ram

If you go with the dual make sure you get a very good motherboard.

hmmm..... i don't understand how a single CPU can outperform a dual setup...

but the 4gb of ram is what I most want. I just figgered twin CPUs would boost it that much more.

the funny part is, no matter what you get, when it's all set up, you're not going to notice the difference.

4gigs of ram seems a bit overkill.

uhm, paid $130 for the Chieftec Dragon...

Mine is black though

the UPS is the cheap part, SWEEX, and I cant find the model #, that's why I can't install the floppy drivers from it. It was $80 or so.

anyways:

lol.... and the 23" sony crt wasn't?

c'mon dude. 4 g's of RAM is far less overkill and much more justified than that 200 pound monster monitor you got there.
