Re: AMD is up for sale

Who do you think would be the buyer? I doubt it could be Intel. Maybe qualcomm or Mircosoft, Google? Who did I miss that could buy this company. I doubt it would be nvidia. What do you think?

Edit: My best guess is Samsung.

Just bought another 50 shares of Intel @ 20.25.

Edit: I just heard that AMD is exploring options for the sale of their company! Is this true? Edit: Yes it is true!

Re: How to fix the budget deficit!

mmi, I wish that you could figure out how to get California out of debt. I live in Los Angeles county and our sales tax is going up to 10% and if the chief of police has his way, another .05 tax will be on top of that. I'm not talking about federal debt in this case. The State of California is broke...

Buy tech or not?

I just bought 2 shares of apple, 50 shares of intel and 1 share of google. Should I have waited til Monday or did I make the right trade right before the close on Friday? I thought that I could buy computer parts or invest and wait a year and buy even better parts down the road. Would like to know w...

Re: Who are you voting for today? ** LR Poll **

If I were to vote today it would have been for none of the above. I would have voted for Ron Paul and I would have hoped that his son ran for V.P. I feel it would have been the only choice to get our house in order. Now I feel we are just going to get more of the same no matter who wins. Bash me if ...

Re: Who are you voting for today? ** LR Poll **

Well my wife (Natasha) is voting today. I am not. Why, you might ask? Well if I vote, her vote would cancel out! So what's the point. Until we have a popular vote instead of a electoral vote I really don't think it matters in my state of California. It's a blue state all the way. I really don't care...

Re: Mobo advice

The question is really, will this solve my problem (see the explanation right above your post) Whatever platform you choose, I really don't think that you will have to overclock your cpu to get the desired results you are looking for. More cores should do the trick. For me I would build on a LGA201...

Re: Mobo advice

For RAID Controllers I would look at Adaptec by PMC. http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/products/all/. That is if you don't use your on board RAID controller. What concerns me about your build right now is in about 6 months Intel will probably introduce new motherboards and CPU's that will make your new b...

Re: Mobo advice

The bottleneck is still the drives isn't it? I think your bottleneck is the whole LGA 775 platform. I wouldnt go as crazy with the CPU like Vibronchef did either. I would snag a quad core i7 rather than going higher end. I just used that as a example. I do believe that the LGA 2011 is the fastest p...

Re: Mobo advice

From my experience your computer never does one thing a time. There is always some background program running whether you want it to run or not. Let's face it the more cores the better! I ran a google search for comparing dual-core vs. quad-core cpus. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2406293,00....

Re: Mobo advice

IMHO, What you need is a processor (cpu) that can do the job faster. Clock speed is one thing, but having more cores is better. For your new rig I suggest the following: Case Cooler Master Cosmos II http://www.coolermaster.com PSU Thermaltake Toughpower Grand 1050W http://www.thermaltakeusa.com Mobo...
