Product Type: other in Processor Upgrades
Newest Review: ... you only want to upgrade the processor, then you will need to know what speeds your current motherboard can handle. You can find this in the motherboard manual that came with your PC, but this is often out of date. The best place to check is on the Internet, specifically the homepage of your motherboard manufacturer. If on the other hand, you want to upgrade to an even faster processor, then you?ll need to upgrade your motherboard as well. This is a little beyond the scope of this review, but I might write one later on. Keep checking dooyoo. NB Sometimes you?ll need to perform what is known as a BIOS upgrade on your motherboard.

When you are after that little bit extra performance from your computer. Thoughts go one of either two ways. 1) Buy a new PC, 2) Upgrading. The first option can be expensive, but you do get a nice new shiny PC, which will almost definitely be faster/better/newer etc. But by upgrading your current system, better performance can be achieved with much less expenditure. Often first thoughts turn to the processor, and rightly so. After all the processor is the main "brain" behind your computer. This review/guide will help you with a processor upgrade. When considering an upgrade, as a general rule of thumb, if you need to upgrade ... Read the complete review

Hi, This is my first opinion, and on the result of it, i will decide if to continue to write or not. So.... if you have to buy a pc, one of the most important piece that you need, is the processor. It's the "heart" of all, here; every data, every information enter in it, is processed and exit as results. The faster the processor is, the quicker your pc will be, therefore less time you will have to wait to get results.... Only a few years ago, when class "pentium" appeared on market, the processor was something very expensive and very useful for life of your pc. Today, processors have a lot of ...

My opinion is that today Amd is the best. Why? First: there is high quality, certainly. Second:With all applications and with 2D and 3D softwares and games is very good. Third: low prices. There is a good price difference between Amd and Intel and it’s very good for me. Overclock Amd cpu offer a great tollerance for overclock. Mostly the socket A motherboard allow to act on FSB (Front Side Bus) and on multiplier. For overclock often you need allow also on Vcore and the most popular motherboards permit it. But attention! This operation CAN CAUSE DAMAGE! It’s warning! In fact the cpu, if overclocked but not ... Read the complete review

I have just had to build two computers at work. One department wanted a AMD Athlon 1.2 Gb system and the other a Intel Pentium 4 1.3 Gb. Firstly I must say that it was a nightmare building the Intel Pentium 4 1.3 Gb. Firstly I had to locate a Intel motherboard which I have only found a few options on. I have had to us a Intel board, as other manufactures have not go a board that I can read up about. The next problem was that I had to purchase a computer case with a 300 watt power supply and then try to local a 400 watt one and change it over. This took about two days to locate. After building the system, I then started to format the software, but it keeped ... Read the complete review
