HOLY COW - That was fast Batman!!!

Well I don't build from my own computer, but these are the specs for the computer I am building from.

Intel Core2Quad 9550 (as fast as an older Core I7, currently not overclocked)
Asus P5Q Pro Turbo
8gb of Gskill DDR2 ram
1Tb Western Digital Caviar Black (one of the fastest conventional drives)
Nvidia something or other graphics (it's a server, who cares)
Ubuntu 10.4 LTS 64bit
32meg Internet connection (up to)
Headless (no monitor)
Hosting location, dead center of the US.

Yes it as fast in ghz. But it doesn't have the Intel interconnect thingy, or hyper threading which helps a lot when building android!

If I had another rig set up just for that, then I would do the same. Just not on my main computer. :)

I do think that I remember hearing that she may be getting the Evo V. :)
Yeah she's getting the Evo V. I actually use her build server and help her admin the vmroms.com. she really is a good person and has helped me from when I was a noob and still does. Lol.

Better than mine... Intel Pentium t4200 dual core @2ghz 1mb lvl2 cache (upgraded from a single core Intel Celeron@2.2ghz 1mb lvl2 cache)
4GB of ddr2 ram (upgraded from 2gb)
Integrated Intel graphics card with shared memory (upto 1.8gb)
And I have a 250gb Toshiba 2.5" sata with win7 home premium and a 120gb Toshiba 2.5" sata with win8 consumer preview.
I would kill for a C2D... But my motherboard doesn't support C2D... :/

If you're using a t4200 now, I'm sure it supports c2d's, 800fsb ones at the least. Considering the t4200 itself is a penryn part, you should be fine with any 800fsb penryn. I upgraded the t2370 in my laptop to a t6500. $8 shipped from ebay. Absolute steal. Only 2mb cache though, but not that bad. Could get a 3megger in the $20s

of course you could drop in a merom too

OPs puter would trash that.
OP has 8 essentially penryn based cores at 2ghz.

i5 3570k outperforms clock for clock, and can easily overclock beyond 4ghz.

Even saying that they performed equally clock for clock, we're talking 8 cores at 2ghz vs 4 cores at 4ghz+


8 real cores is nice though. I recently upgraded from my trusty q6600 to a 2600k mostly because of power efficiency (moved to brooklyn and am looking at almost 30c/kwh now!!)

Thanks! :D I didn't realize there were C2D for the PGA478 socket I thought they were all made for the LGAwhatever socket... The one that took over for the PGA478.

Sure thing :)

The t4200's 1MB of l2 cache kind of hurts, but it's not too bad for regular tasks. At least it's 800fsb, vs my old t2370 (bought the t5600 for $8. somehow sold the t2370 for $7. lmao). Extra cache is definitely welcome though.

Not sure what you'd be interested in doing. Maybe you'd be interested in a model with vt-x support, although most likely you would need to mod your bios to enable it.

Probably just be able to play some games with better performance... like Minecraft (which will still probably lag since I have a shared integrated graphics card and not a dedicated graphics card and no support for one.)

I got my t4200 for like $5 so it was a good deal. But I may get the C2D w/ 3mb l2 cache, it should run cooler and faster than my pentium. And BTW this is all in a laptop... What even is vt-x support?

Virtual machine support
Intel&#174; Pentium&#174; Processor E6300 (2M Cache, 2.80 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB))
That's how I found out. It makes virtual box and the like better.

I got a Acer Aspire 9500 laptop....this guy cracked the cover by trying to open it while locked down (or so it looks).When he did it screen stopped working so I told him if it's a screen he needs it's $200 for screen and install plus warranty he said keep it.Turns out the crack and force disconnected the screen ribbon so the screen wouldn't come on lol.It was a $2,200 computer back in the day.I put 2 GB RAM on it and going to upgrade HDD soon but it's at 60 GB now.It's got a intel celeron M 1.60 Ghz processor.
