the sempron 3300+ 90nm seems tempting.. but only 32bit lol. it'll be interesting to see what happens when i'm ready to buy around October. maybe Intel will have 65nm Celeron that are 64bit and P < 20W :]

Thanks for all the help guys!

yeh i was thinking sempron 90nm also, but isnt the maximum power rating 69W or something? compared to 25-35W for the Turion.

ok thanks for the info :]

754 is single channel only

well i'm going to get the computer around October anyway, so maybe there will be lots of Newarks and Turions floating around by then

no gaming at all. 2D only ;] ... the basic stuff like web browsing, listening to music on computer.

yeh, i'm checking out forums and running a search for things like "newark" and trying to see if anyone mentions where they can be bought :]

i hope to undervolt and run the cpu passive with xp-120

turion is "pre-order" :[[

how about places that sell the other amd 64 mobiles, not turion ?

Hi.. anyone know where to buy AMD 64 mobile CPUs? i've tried searching google etc and havnt found Anything. I'd really like to buy Turion other 754 pin mobiles will be good too. do all mobiles not have a heatspreader? so its hard to attach a heatsink like xp-120 ? also, UK mobile cpu retailers would...

sony g200 until it dies... i'd love LCD but the technology is still immature and i have forseen the technology to get Much better by the time this g200 dies. ALSO the sony g200 IS the finest 17" CRT to ever been built. i'm hoping LCDs will be able to match this g200 in definition and colour vibrance...

thanks, seems like the ideal choice for what i want to use it for - 2D only.

Hi, i hope this is the right forum section, because the G550 is passive ;) So.. does anyone have the Matrox G550 AND another computer with ATI/nVidia graphics cards? if so, what is the 2D image quality like versus ATI/nVidia? i'm thinking about buying the G550 because its very cheap, passive and i w...

would this be quieter than P120 do you think?

wow this is exactly the kind of thing i'm planning on doing in a new computer. can you show us a pic of the inside of your computer so we can see what your airflow is like. for example; case fans. or is it completely fanless and passive cpu cooling?

lets bring this thread back to life :]

got link?

yeh its settled, thanks for the help guys i'll be looking at an alternative. the clean power of that PSU is probably overkill when all the factors are weighed up.

good night.

hmmm :/ i read posts on another forum with people that are audiophiles replacing the fan and being happy with the acoustics. the only reason i'm thinking about this psu is because of the cleanER power that this PSU produces. anyone know a PSU that produces just as clean power? the specificiations ar...

sorry i didn't say but i chose that power supply because i think its the only power supply with voltage regulation and ripple control of such high quality. the computer will be for audio purposes so the sound card will need need to be fed with as clean power as possible.

i am planning on buying the PC Power & Cooling 510 Deluxe power supply. but i heard its quite noisy so i was wondering if anyone has replaced its 80mm fan with a nexus or something?

Thanks.

hi guys, i'm planning on buying a celeron 2.8GHZ to use with xp-120. do you think this would run passively without a fan to go with xp-120 ? the case will probably be sonata with a nexus 120mm case fan. or would a sempron 3300+ run cooler than the celeron? i couldnt find the power consumptions on ea...
