Yup, looks like it isn't so great afterall :/ I wish Game PC did it at 2.2ghz aswell for a better comparison with the 3500+

Erm... looks pretty good to me. I guess I'm missing something, but it looked like the P-M held up pretty well to the A64s.Quote:

Hmm looking at it again maybe I flicked through too quick, they do hold out a bit better, price is not good though.
What's interesting to me is that they haven't tested the O/C potential of the lower-end Dothans. The 1.6 is just over $200, and if it O/Cs as well as the 2.0, then it's not quite as bad a deal as people are making it out to be.
i'm a little confused... I've heard newegg has dothans for these motherboards but i only see socket 478 dothans on newegg. These boards require 479 right? :confused:
newegg just wrong lol there are no socket 478 Dothans, Newegg just has it wrong. If you get one of those your going to get a box with a processor and....thats about it.
Yah...if you buy from newegg...dont expect any HSF w/ the chip...before ordering from them i was wondering why the hell a mobile chip would come with any sort of hsf...i assumed if it did it would be some sort of mobile solution.Quote:

Yeesh, those prices sting. I wouldn't consider the Aopen at that price since it doesn't have vcore adjustments.
yeah it seems the P-M will be good for gaming, but not that all 'round preformer like the P4. Seems like a few core tweaks and a higher clock would make it better, but this is Intel....so who knows.
a 2.4ghz stock with a better core design, not focused solely around heat, but other preformance things as well. I wouldn't be complaining about a 100W dual core myself.
can someone tell me what this does, what the settings are and what's best for performance and for stabillity?Quote:

yeah thats the same thing. Enableing it should help with memory bandwidth some what, not sure what kind of impact it will have on overclocking tho
