QUOTE(qwijibow @ Feb 7 2005, 08:07 AM) So why would Intel delibraly underclock a CPU sooo much if there is nothing wrong with it at full speed ? sounds like commercial suicide to me ???  Well they were able to be sell the A labeled processor for a bunch less then the higher clocked versions that came out months earlier. This allowed them to still offer more budget minded customers the ability to have a processor that's built on the newer core with new features, and a smaller core which consumes less energy and pruces less heat, all while costing them less to make. Plus it probably ended up being cheaper for Intel to underclock their faster processors on the newer core then spend extra money developing a slower set of processors. When these came out though it was almost 3 years ago too so they were pretty decent and an excellent buy for those in the know. |

QUOTE(qwijibow @ Feb 7 2005, 05:59 PM) fior gameing performance, you need CPU and Graphics card power. I don't see where I have a problem with that. I'm running a nvidia geforce 4. I found a website and it said its the best for overclocking. This is really weird... Peace Aaron |

Well.. that's true, I was wrong, but some (not many) people need a very stable computer or one that is silent (recording studio's or something). THen it might be good to lower the cpu speed if the cpu is too powerfull anyway.

i dont think is will risk burning my cpu! well not with my budget! looks like you need quite alot of fans to cool down the over heating cpu. i rather buy a new faster working cpu. its more stable and trustworthy
