AMD VS INTEL

AMD WINS DUAL-CORE DUEL ?
The Champ With the AMD64 platform, we established our leadership in 64-bit computing. Now we are proud to be leading the computing industry in dual-core x86 performance and performance-per-watt.As part of the original challenge issued to Intel by AMD, power consumption was a consideration. Mainstream Dual-Core AMD Opteron™ processors at 95 watts, consume far less than the competition’s dual-core x86 server processors which according to their published data, have a thermal design power of 135 watts and a max power draw of 150 watts. This can result in 200 percent better performance-per-watt than the competition. Even greater performance-per-watt can be achieved with lower-power Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors that are available in 55 watt offerings. .. more information at ..amd.com

Built home Pc - Glossary of terms for Motherboards-

Glossary of terms for Motherboards :

Motherboard Chipset

Determines the processor and RAM compatibility and how fast they function.
Intel: Compatible Intel Pentium and Celeron Processors

Via: Compatible with Pentium 4 and AMD Athlon XP and Duron Processors

nVidia: Compatible with AMD XP and Duron Processors

SiS: Compatible with Pentium 4 and AMD Athlon XP and Duron Processors

Motherboard Form Factor

Specifies the size and layout of the motherboard, which determines different computer case dimensions.
Baby AT: A small motherboard used in 386, 486, and other early pcs.

ATX: (9.5" X 12") Same as Baby ATbut rotated 90 degrees to allow for longer card slots and providing better airflow for the processor.

Mini ATX: (8.2" X 11.2") Smaller than the ATX with fewer expansion slots.

Micro ATX: (9.6" X 9.6") Designed by Intel for more compact low cost computers.

Flex ATX: (9" X 7.5") Smaller version of the Micro ATX that allows for more custom case designs.

LPX: (9" X 8") Designed by Western Digital with a riser card for expansion boards that are parallel rather than perpendicular to the motherboard.

NLX: (9" X 8") Improved more flexible design than the LPX.

Controller Type

A Circuit board used to control a peripheral device which is contained on the motherboard or a plug in card.

Processor Manufacturer

Processor is the central unit in a computer containing the logic circuitry that performs the instructions of a computer's programs.

Processor Type

Refers to the motherboard's chipset compatibility with the cpu.

Maximum Number of CPUs

CPU: (Central Processing Unit) is an older term for processor and microprocessor, the central unit in a computer containing the logic circuitry that performs the instructions of a computer's programs.

Installed Memory

The amount of memory measured in megabytes installed in the system's hardware.

32 MB:

1600 x 1200 Resolution = 108 pictures

1024 x 768 Resolution = 174 pictures

640 x 480 Resolution = 337 pictures

64 MB:

1600 x 1200 Resolution = 217 pictures

1024 x 768 Resolution = 349 pictures

640 x 480 Resolution = 677 pictures

128 MB:

1600 x 1200 Resolution = 435 pictures

1024 x 768 Resolution = 700 pictures

640 x 480 Resolution = 1355 pictures

RAM Type

Refers to the type of RAM compatible with the motherboard.

Maximum Supported RAM

Maximum allotted memory for the motherboard., based on RAM compatibilityand number of memory slots.

Video Card Interface Type
AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) A high-speed port developed by Intel, AGP uses a 32-bit bus that is designed for the display adapter (video card) only. It provides a direct connection between the card and memory, and only one AGP slot is on the motherboard.

AGP 1x Data Transfer rate = 264 Mbytes/sec.

AGP 2x Data Transfer rate = 528 Mbytes/sec.

AGP 4x Data Transfer rate = 1 Gbyte/sec.

AGP 8x Data Transfer rate = 2 Gbytes/sec.

PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most common I/O bus in use today. PCI runs at 33MHz or 66MHz and supports 32 and 64-bit data paths and bus mastering. There are generally three to five slots on the motherboard. Normally 12.28 inches long short PCIs range from 4.68 inches to 6.57 inches in length to fit into smaller slots where space is an issue.

ISA (Industry Standard Architecture) Pronounced "eye-suh." is a standard bus architecture that is associated with the IBM AT motherboards. Most of the older PCs have a combination of ISA and PCI slots, however many no longer support ISA.

Networking

TypeEthernet: 10BaseT connection that transfers at 10 Mbps

Fast Ethernet: 100BaseT connection that transfers at 100 Mbps

Gigabit Ethernet: 1000BaseT connection that transfers at a 1Gbps rate.

IEEE 1394: Allows tranfers from 800 Mbps to 3,200 Mpbs and is compatible with glass, fiber and cat5 cable.

Bluetooth: Wireless network connection with 720 kbps transfer rate at a range of 10 -100 meters.

802.11b: Wireless connection with a transfer rate of11 Mbps in a 2.4 Ghz band.

802.11a: Wireless connection with a transfer rate of 54 Mbps in a 5 Ghz band.

built your own home PC

Let's start to built home pc & more satisfaction with what built on your self.

Built home Pc

It's easy to built your home PC and your more statisfied with your built own your self, if your PC good running, but don't worry you can learn with your self with hand book went you buy a hardware for your home pc.it's not difficult to start, to built home PC you can start with budget or your not thingking about budget to built home PC, or you can buy step by step a hardware, and start if hardware is completed and built, the reason to built pc, is sometime Everyone gets disappointed at one time or another with a store bought pc. the built pc personal and satisfying than putting together your own personal computer.
To built first you know what you want
Know what it is you want to achieve other than just a new pc. I always want a pc I can upgrade to faster speeds with newer components. Often people make rash decisions due to a salesperson or due to lack of knowledge. It may delay you a day or two but the rewards will be much greater. Ask yourself if you want a fast system or a workhorse, something for games or something just to Store files and Play on the internet with. Remember, you don’t need much power to browse the internet, it's a enough power to grab emails and chat in chatrooms was all they were really any good for.
