What type of CPU processor [poll]

What type of CPU processor do you have in your computer?


[EDIT]
Okay, so some of you have servers or server-class computers.

The AMD 64-bit CPU votes include AMD Opteron CPUs.

The Intel 64-bit CPU votes include Intel Xeon CPUs.

 

If you do not know and would like to find out, open the system information utility
* Start|Programs|Accessories|System Tools > System Information
on your computer and look for a field named System Model. Open your favorite web site search page and type in CPU followed by a space followed by the name information in the System Model field. Search for that and you should find it in one or a few more clicks after that.

[EDIT] Post any questions here in this thread if you need and want assistance determining your CPU type.

 

AMD 3200+ 2,2ghz (there is also a 2,4ghz one)

 

I have an Opteron multiprocessor system. That's not there (it's different to Athlon64).

 

Since you already noted in a post that you do have AMD [server] Opteron CPUs, vote for yours by selecting AMD 64-bit CPU if you have not done so already.

Note: It will be henceforth understood that the AMD 64-bit CPUs vote includes AMD Opteron CPUs.

 

An antique, I guess..

AMD Athlon @ 1.1 Ghz

other stuff:

1GB DDR Ram
K7 type Motherboard
Nvidia GeForce3 Ti 500

 

an old one, I just updated my graphics card divers - the last time they were updated was 2001. itsw a real shiter but runs toee well. no idea on the type tho, my mum and dad bought it and I got it by default.

 

I'm using a Mac right now! *lol* Logged on from my wife's work laptop...

In case no one missed me, our power grid took a lightning strike and my sorry generic surge protector couldn't handle the load. That nice new replacement video card, that nice new sound card for hearing all the new voice acting, and my nice new LCD flatscreen to help pick out animation bugs all down the toilet... *sigh* Guess all that yakking my vile opponents made about cursing me from beyond the grave was actually true...

OTOH I did manage to save a couple of components. Anyone want to suggest a motherboard I could snag on the cheap? I'd prefer to get something efficiently expandable so I don't have to upgrade again for a good long time. All things considered replacing most of my PC is an unfortunate expense compared to totaling the second car. :tombstone

United Micro is a good company. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

IMO - Abit is the best motherboard manufacturer, period, where ASUS gets sloppy seconds.

 

Just a quick bit on power grids and surge protectors. I wouldn't even think about putting a new computer in a house that wasn't properly grounded. For the kind of damage your describing, a very large industrial surge protector would not have been enough. There a a couple of things to consider here I'm not sure were your at in the world exactly but will assume Alba means Scotland for the time being. That being the case I'm not sure if you can get you local power company to come out and take a look at your wiring and grounding of the building your in. (if you were in America that is what I would suggest). I also don't know anything about local building codes, how the wiring in the house is grounded. Or how the whole building is grounded, if you have a large enough pathway to earth, no surge will ever affect appliances or computers inside of the place. I would suggest you sink another grounding rod and connect it to the house to counter the affects of surges.

On the merits of surge protectors. Generally surge protectors no matter the price use a technology called SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifiers ) these things work great but you have to remember that each time they actually protect you from a surge they burn up. In other words no matter how good it is when you buy it, once it is hit it goes from 100% to 0% protection eventually. There is no easy way short of extremely expensive test equipment to see exactly how much protection remains.

That being said I have never seen one with any kind of indicator that even tells you if it has been hit at all. If you knew it had absorbed a hit you could at least know that it was diminished and needed replaced. I hope that all this made sense. If not feel free to PM me and I'll try and answer any questions.

 

Never assume anything; he could mean this:

Well that kind of Alba would produce entirely different kinds of surges. At least for me:transform

 

Got something against Socket 939? oke:

S939 3000+ AMD 64
Asus mobo (of course)
2x512 Mb Kingston PC3200 RAM
Saphire ATI X800 GTO II Video Card


-----------------For Blair
Motherboard: ASUS M2N-E ATX (Aprx. $100 US)
Socket AM2 will give you a longer upgrade time than S939 and this board is feature packed for a good price. I'd personly take ASUS over Abit anyday, but it's a matter of opinion, they're both good (so's Gigabyte).

RAM: Corsair Value Select PC2-4200 2X512MB DDR2-533 240PIN Dual Channel Memory (Aprx. $95 US)

Kind of a mouthfull, mostly note the 240PIN and at least DDR2-533 speed. Corsair is an excellent brand (so is Kingstion and OCZ( and their Value Ram isn't to pricey.

Video: Saphire X800 GTO II (Aprx. $200 US)
Few comments on this. Watch the 2 after the GTO it means you're getting a much better card than you're paying for. Saphire isn't a high end brand but I've had good luck with them, also every Saphire card tested has had the extra pixel pipelines in working order. (If you're curious for details PM me, it get's kinda wordy for non techo-geeks to wade through .

Well that's my $0.02

Good luck.

Cuchulainn.

 

AMD Sempron 64-bit is a S754
AMD Athlon64 can be a S939 or S754 ... depends on which one you order
AMD Athlon64 FX is a S939
AMD Athlon64 X2 is a S939
