Keep hearing about the latest & Greatest CPU

[KiwiRack]

But, just for fun I decided to run the Taskmanager, while doing the usual cruising around and odd job or two.

It's obvious to me that he CPU has little to do these days with relative speed, the average high end hit on a 2.66 OC'd to 3.34 was 30% ~Yes, DDR comes into play. Average middle of the road usage was around 12%.

This tells me to get the latest & greatest speed demon, will not wrap it'self around a CPU, but a really good motherboard.

the bigest bottelneck in any system with a Maniacal mass-storage devive is the hard disk.
runing solid state memory type disk in a fast interface would speed up PCs imensely but unfortunatly this tecnology is too expensive for the home user at the current time.
You can help eliviate the problem by investing in a good hard disk set up.
yes a good chipset is very inportant as is good memory but think how long you spend waiting for things too load.
If you play games the cpu becomes much busyer.
Also if you think its not doing enough you cold join team32 and fold or join the oc-seti-team and find out a bout black holes and e.t.

yea, as soon as i begin a game cpu usgae jumps by leaps and bounds. a good game will chomp up every available cpu cycle my puter has to offer!

Yes, quite Right! So I bumped mine on up to 4.13g!

Guess what, servers are slower than the system trying to actually access, including max tweaks on Net settings! So it's still a lost cause...Lol.

The bottom line, from this, then, is expect a high Ping from a failed server speed! Which negates any CPU possibilty.

Or should I say, if you want to play, you have to find someone with a real server system.

Cheers:D

go to a lan party thats where good pings are at.

[onx]

mmm lan party mucho fun :D

yeah i want one of those ramdrives too ;)

well your hyperthreaded processors wont use more then 50% unless the application supports hyperthreading or SMP (Dual proc)
so thats one of the reasons you dont see high % usage.. you havta double what you see if you use a hyperthreaded processor in normal life appliations

www.mame.net <--- there that will use all your CPU power and make your 4Ghz+ CPU look like a 386 CPU.

Try running a ghay game like War Gods or Cruisn' USA on Mame and you will see how slow your CPU really is.
