This Anandtech review seems to say otherwise. For image quality, the images that they showed has the 6150 caming out the worst, by a lot.
Edit: They actually put the image quality of the Intel G965 as the best. But for me, I'm not familiar enough with Intel graphics to want to build a PC purely around it. Last edited by thatdude90210; 03-16-2007 at 10:01 AM. |

Hi,
I am always thinking about upgrading. I think this board would make a great core 2 duo based sage server:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813121052 PCI-E x16 -1 PCI-E x1 -3 PCI -3 GIG-E SATA 3Gb/s -6 onboard vid, etc. HTH Jesse

I have been looking at upgrading my server as well.
Something I am using to gauge processors is Tomshardware cpu guide. http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.ht...=433&chart=185 Though I don't really know which benchmark best represents Sage, so I have been trying several to gauge overall CPU performace. My Athlon XP3200 is too old for this list I have to go back to 2004 to see how my current CPU rates. (can play HD as long as nothing else is using any CPU) Mike |

I finally ordered this board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131070 and an E4300 to put in. I may be doing a little bit of ocing with this one..

boo, he went over to the dark (intel CPU) side. If too many do, and if AMD were to crump, we'd pay Intel $1000 for a CPU chip.

The low end core 2 duos are by far the best cpu for the price right now.

Yes, AMD has some catching up to do. And I hope they will, if only in the interest of competition.

Have you tried transcoding video files with the Roxy99 scripts and programs? If so, how much load is sustained by the CPU during the video transcoding process? If you haven't tried transcoding the Mpeg2 videos into Xvid AVI, could you try running the process -- it would be a good test of how much load your CPU can handle. Dave |

my current sage server is my old Pentium game box - but the 5200 I have running in my file server will find it's way into the server closet sometime this summer...

Here are the posting on the PCWorld site: "Hasn't anyone yet realized that Windows XP limits CPUs to two cores? How ya gonna run 4 cores unless on Linux?" "I'm sure that Microsoft will find a way to get XP to support them, if not, Vista is coming out very soon, as well." http://forums.pcworld.com/forums/vie...?p=10009#10009 Dave |

If you look hard enough, you can find Microsoft referencing support for two dualcore processors (making for a total of four processors but only two physical chips). You probably won't find anything specifically showing quadcore as supported only because Vista has been released and that is Microsofts new toy to push. And FYI, I am running a quad-core system on Windows XP Pro at work. All four processors list and get used. Actually when it was initially setup it showed eight (it was hard to get it to use all eight though) because hyperthreading was turned on, which I promptly turned off as being a waste on a multiprocessor system. Edited Additional Info: From http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ate_200502.doc dated Feb of 2005 (that long ago, wow knowledge really is out of date): "For most currently shipping Microsoft software with processor limits, each processor counts as a single processor regardless of the number of cores and/ or threads that the processor contains. For example, Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition can be used on a four-processor system, whether the processors in the system are single-core, hyperthreaded, or multicore."

Still - for $100+ difference, I'll take the AMD for my file crunching box in a heartbeat.

The standard heatsink and fan on my PentiumD is around the size of a dinner plate, the Core2Duo one is *way* smaller...
