VT and Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7400 @ 2.80GHz

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 18:50:00 GMT

Hello Atul,

Yes, the CPU E7400 exists as in three different flavours:

1. SLGW3 where you have different product codes

(i) BXC80571E7400

(ii) BX80571E7400

(iii) AT80571PH0723ML

2. SLGQ8 where you have one product code

(i) BX80571E7400

3. SLB9Y where you have two other product codes

(i) BX80571E7400 (Boxed CPU comes with 3 years warranty )

(ii) AT80571PH0723M (Tray CPU comes with 1 year warranty )

Indeed from the link, only the SLGW3 seems to have VT enabled. I don't know why there are different CPUs with different model, may be for marketing and pricing purposes. You may need to be aware that on some board, all SL numbers may not have been validated and tested by the board manufacturers. And one more thing, the board bios needs to have support for some VT as well.

The only way for you to find out which SL number you have, is to remove the CPU from the socket and read it directly from the silvery metal.

Buying an overclocked i5?

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 00:53:40 GMT

I see there are many different overclocked I5's and i7's on sale.

And I wondered why anyone would buy these?

I'm especially looking at a core i5 750 normally running @2.66 which is brought up to 3.2 here.
They say they tested them on a 100% workload for 6 hours straight and say that it will work. Price is relatively cheap but the cooler is still the same.

So would you recommend buying one of those? Or would you say that chances are too high that this thing will be a wreck sooner or later, especially when you're planning to game for some hours straight?

Here's the link, if you're interested

thanks guys

Need Input! Which Should I Choose? Core 2 Duo T9900 or i7-820?

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 00:17:11 GMT

the fact that you dont game makes me lean towards recommending the i7 -- more cores = better for multitask

it is 300 more tho, thats alot....i hear i7s desktops can get hot, but only due to oc.

i have an i5 750 desktop and i love it, not that there is alot of overlap between desktop and notebook preformance

i had a dell xps 15 incher a while ago (ending up breaking down just after the warrenty was up, but it got pretty ******* hot, so you are right to be concerned about heat)

photoshop can eat up memory, but you have to be doing quiet a bit to fill up 4 gig, as such you probably wont go much past it even if u do. so i wud say let a page file handle the rest. i would take the difference between 4 gig and 8 gig and use it to finance the processor. or use the cash to upgrade the hd. i hear ssds are some of the best upgrades u can do for your machine, notebook or desktop, cant wait to try one out!

also be advised turbo boost disables cores...i think. it will oc 1 or 2 cores automatically to get a bit more clock speed out of the processor, but it does so by disabling the 3rd and 4th core...or something to that effect. so dont let the stats about turbo boost sway you into getting an i7.

How to Identify 32-bit or 64-bit Processors

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:31:42 GMT

Hello,

There is a tool from Intel.

http://www.intel.com/support/processors/tools/piu/sb/CS-014921.htm

If Intel® 64 is yes, then it does support 64 bit processing.

Another way to check is to get the SL number of the CPU and check from the site below:

http://ark.intel.com

If you have got a 64 bit OS, you can just try to load the OS, it wont allow you to do so.

All the best,

CHIPSET PM965 800fsb and CPU 1066fsb

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:06:18 GMT

Hi,

Yes i have done the cpu upgrade but not with 1066fsb cpu. Since it is downclocking the FSB to 800mhz and base frequency aswell, it means that PM965 can only support upto 2.6ghz 800fsb 6mb and that is T9500 the last and the most powerful for PM965. Now i am using T9500 and it is working good.

I have upgraded the ram from PC2 5300 to PC2 6400 but there is no difference because PM965 supports only 667mhz of ram which is PC2 5300 so it is also useless. Anyways it is working great

T9500

4GB DDR2

128GB GSKILL FALCON SSD

NVIDIA 9500M GS

3G HSDPA

BLUETOOTH 2.1 EDR

WIFI etc....

Best

D41TY with 9400quad with win7

eyalho@imj.org.il — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 07:08:29 GMT

i have D41TY with 9400quad processor and its work good wite win xp.

I decided to upgrade to Win7 and . after one hour D41TY board Burned.

THE Board was replaced in new one;and Burned again after one hour.

The third time was replaced by a new board
But with a processor E7500 and it works well.

and i see in the "events view" in windows7 that 1 min Before the last Two board Burned. the system Warning Critical that 9400quad processor

not work good in all his 4 Cores and to Contact the manufacturer to update the firmware

Does anyone know what the reason
Maybe BIOS update
Perhaps if the board does not support good at Win7

What is mobile pentium 4?

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 12:29:34 GMT

It is a p4 for laptops, like the core 2 duos or i7s for laptops. It is still a P4 just for a laptop.
