Please help me buy a Ivy Bridge based desktop PC. I will use it for everything. My budget is $1000-$1200 only for the PC (I have a monitor). I want the best for the money :)

With processors these days getting bigger and bigger and faster and faster, phones soon to join the fray with their own quad-core, I got to thinking about the differences between having four core and having four threads, aside of just having multiple physical cores and multiple line running into them.Running...

I'm a little confused about something - there are much more notebook CPUs compared to desktop (I'm talking about second generation Sandy Bridge CPUs). What can be the reason?

CPU, Intel, AMD, Phenom II X2 560 Black, Core i3-2100
A friend of mine was proposed a system with a Phenom II X2 560 processor and I thought we could do better and ended up with a i3-2100. However one thing puzzles me, which of the two is actually better. On paper the AMD has the edge over the i3, but I'm still leaning towards the Intel based system. Do...

Hi gadget fans...I have a question. A friend of mine will be assembling a new PC, and he is wandering which Mobo is good for this CPU. He will use only one GPU (nVidia - if that matters) and 4 GB DDR3 of RAM. I know that it's important to have a good compatibility between components so what are your...

CPU
With the Jasper Forest CPU and the integration of I/O hub into the CPU itself, Intel got rid of the southbridge. That's great because it saves space on the motherboard and uses less energy in the process. And other hardware companies are moving toward integrating more and more into the CPU, so could...

Question
CPU, Intel, Pentium G6950
I`m thinking of pushing the limits of the CPU a little further and I was wondering if anyone managed to make a stable clock after 3.8GHz and what setup were you using? Any help or advice would be appreciated.
