Computer Buying Tips

Build or buy a one-time computer purchase of this processor is an important consideration. Below we have several reservations and ask a computer to a processor directly or already installed when purchasing to find additional information about this case.

Type

Building a computer processor is considered to be very important for the users . AMD , Cyrix and Intel: Today , three major processor manufacturers . Each of these companies have good and bad reviews , and really it 's all very close in consistency and reliability . The processors are considering support any compatible motherboard . I , for example , AMD motherboard with an AMD processor , an Intel processor , Intel motherboard or computer currently purchase to install , is designed to work on the purchase .

Considerations

Heat Sink

All processors are highly recommended as a heat sink. Processor heat sink to allow for cooling and helps to run more efficiently. A computer processor computer, missing, damaged or failing heat sink, will cause because of errors or other problems were close.

Find a processor, the processor heat sink to be attached to the heat sink and the processor was going to buy
is compatible with assurance.

Interface

Today, CPU can also connect to the wide availability of interfaces. Each of the interfaces and a brief description of each of them.

Slot
Slot A

They are used by Intel Pentium II processors are the first to introduce the slot and was released . This slot allows users to install a computer processor is designed . However , because of the additional cost considerations Intel 's back now FC - known as the PGA socket has a socket . Intel, the Intel Pentium II and Pentium III computer with a slot in the initial version .

The use of an interface slot for AMD processors

Socket
FC-PGA
Flip Chip
Coppermine

Socket interface processors and found that the most commonly used today. Of all previous Intel processors socket Intel Pentium II and Pentium III and Field Programmable Gate Array is now Intel is short for the name FC - PGA, with the above processors are used. FC - PGA socket and not a single slot or flip-chip processor and Intel Coppermine is called.

Slocket

A slot card which Slocket, a socket can be used to connect the processor or FPGA .It is seen from the CPU interface , it is possible to use it until Slocket that match what should be on the motherboard . Additional Tips on buying a computer motherboard Buying Tips page can be found on our motherboard .

Names

Very confusing names of five processors and processor computer or a computer is used as a method to help to sell may be. Below commonly used names and a brief description of each of them on the list.

Intel family names:

Pentium - The 80586 , or p5, 486 Pentium processor line over five generations .

Pentium Pro - Chip Windows 32-bit software designed to make quick

Created with a Pentium - graphics and multimedia software for an additional 57 new instructions and processor with enhanced speed . It was released after the processor is included in all Intel processors .

Pentium II and III - the slot adapters are first in the Intel processors . The next generation of processors Intel Pentium processor .

Intel Coppermine - Intel Pentium III and IV of the socket ( FC - PGA ) version .

Flip Chip Intel - Intel Coppermine name of the other .

Intel Celeron - reducing or eliminating the Level 2 cache of computers at a lower price designed to help low-end Intel processors .

Pentium IV - Intel 's next generation of processors , the processors at 1GHz processors and FPGA were made ​​.

AMD family names:

AMD K6 -2 - Five Socket 7 processor with 3DNow! Technology and 100MHz bus first.

AMD K6-3 - the speed of the CPU is running at the chip level 2 cache memory K6 -2.

AMD Duron - like Intel Celeron, AMD Duron drop the price in order to allow for complete computer processor is an affordable solution.

AMD Athlon - AMD generation with features such as 200MHz bus speed

AMD Thunderbird - The latest AMD processor, the processor socket is not activated.

Speed

Seeing the speed of processors are available, we just released a purchase or not to purchase or recommend the processor. Processor price will be at a premium price and give you the processor for 2-4 months, it will go up dramatically.

Effects

      Steeper need to run applications that allow the processor requirements.

      Computer or computer program to speed up the loading and opening times. Note: In many cases this may not be noticed or not dramatic.
