Your highest overclock

They don't make 7.8 Ghz chips

 

Doesn't duo core means that it has twice the power of the marked performance? So a 3.4 duo core has the performance of 6.8? (I don't really now about this, but yes the 7.8 still sounds weird, maybe it was a typo..)

 

Not necessarilly. You generally can't utalize the auxilarry cores as fully as the first one so that performance increase s only a theorectical one. For adverising purposes Intel adds the clockspeed of each of the cores together because most people aren't educated to what all the terms mean and the higher number looks good to these people.

 

I think I belong to this group either... Well I am happy with a simple cpu I don't need duo core.

 

ooopsies, sorry about the 7.8 thinngy, i was referring to the comp in my mothers office XD
i only have 2.01ghz

and yes, maybe they do make 7.8 chipz, im not sure either but when i checked the specs in my mothers office i saw 7.8...... upgrades or two or more chipz???? ......

 

As I have stated there are no comercial chips with that clockspeed. it is a marketing gimik. The chip (if its a dual core) actually has an internal clockspeed of 3.9 GHz for each core. While that is a decent number, to the uninformed, 7.8GHz looks alot better.

 

That is, unless your mom's a radiologist or something and she has some super kickass computer that costs five million dollars.

 

lolz, is 2.01okay? and if i were to buy more rams, is it easy to install?

 

You can do it as long as you have a screwdriver (some caes don't even need that)

 

Only to remove the computers cover.. The ram can easily be clicked to it's spot. just check if there is free room for it. (Btw one of my friends could put in the ram with the wrong side... No comment)

 

Remember that the motherboard should be compatible. LOL at the friend...

 

I lolled too. He told that it did fit... Well it did fit so much that he had to buy a new motherboard. I suggested him not to touch the cpu again.

 

That why i dont build computers myself, i know it all on paper, but i suck in practice.

 

You just need a really old one, to practice. Maybe there is one you used earlier. Pretty good practice

 

ummm guys, how can i identify my motherboard? so ill know what to buy when i buy more ram

 

first sollution is to open up the cpu house usually it is written on it with huge letters, or check if you have the box of the motherboard.
Or: http://en.utilidades-utiles.com/download-everest.html
Download this (everest trial version) Make a sysrtem check and you just have to search in the results, it will be there.

I hope you find it :thumbup:

After you know what you have simply use google to find out what ram you need.. or maybe the store guys will be helpful.
