Graphics Maple's Colossal Problem; CPU whining

this ^ was when i tried to install windows 64bit on my new budget pc

 

Pentium IV is not 64 bit probably.

Or whatever C2D CPU you may have

 

Its P4 dont have c2d yet, so i can't use the P4 unless i have 32bit OS

 

Which P4 model is it?

 

no idea, all i know is pentium 4 3.2ghz 800fsb

 

Definitely 32-bit only unless it's a P4 640. Source.

 

okay thank you, looks like cant use till i get core 2 duo, is core 2 duo 64bit or 32?

 

All Core 2 chips support 64-bit

 

thank you, also do you think i should get core 2 quad?

 

For your budget build? What is your budget?

 

Not if you're using the ASRock board, it'll only support dual core Conroe chips and older. But if you choose to replace the mobo then a quad is definitely more powerful - it'll destroy your budget though...

 

it was meant to be cheapest possible, but if its worth getting quad then i may although id rather just get duo, shirty told me that the board is designed for conroe core 2 duo

 

oh no point then, only problem is no one seems to have any conroe chips

 

Here is your CPU support list.

E4500s and E6300s tend to be available for around £15 on eBay, and they do come up in the marketplace from time to time as well. You might even get an E2180 for a tenner.

 

what do you think of this

hopefully they will come up, so this here is the best my mobo can take, very expensive though

It's a good chip and at a reasonable price - that is what most auctions for the same chip end up at. However, it's a third of your budget!

That's silly money for the X6800, it's a six year old chip now!

 

Is it ok to use the cpu without paste or even heatsink just to see if it works? and then quickly switch it off straight after

 

No. Never do that, ever

 

I have done it before actually, just for a few seconds
