Choose a processor

The heart of every personal computer is its processor, which is why when you go to buy one is absolutely essential to choose one that is good and above all to make our case, first of all, though I want to dispel a myth useful to lower the price of your new laptop. When you look at the processor, avoid trying to force things out of the last model, this for a few main reasons: firstly the price, if a product has just come out of course will cost much more, then this second technological world is constantly changing then you will have the "latest model" only for a short time, do not always follow the technology, but you have to buy what you need, and finally, the latest processors will also be many times more powerful but are also those who consume more battery your laptop, so if you have to work very much avoided using the battery model very "greedy" in terms of energy consumption.

It is easy to choose a processor, the main two houses that produce them, the AMD and Intel, usually they say that Intel is more expensive while AMD are cheaper and equally-performing, the second this writer is not true Each model has its specific characteristics of both price and is therefore an AMD can pay more but be more of a handsome Intel or vice versa.

In any case, when you go to check the processor of your new laptop, without waiting to see the model on the market and release date, you must always keep an eye on two essential parameters, the number of cores and the working frequency, which is expressed in Ghz.

The Core are in short computing cores of a processor, the latest models have different core but keep in mind that, generally more cores mean more power, but it always depends on the work you do with your laptop, often In fact, we can accommodate dual-core models without problems even if they are recent.

The GHz is always in short, a way to indicate very roughly the speed, the more Ghz usually means more speed running even if this parameter also includes other values. Finally, they are also to be considered for purchase and consumption of the cache size.

With these parameters, you can definitely make you a good idea of ​​the value of the processor that fits the laptop you want to buy, of course, all this should be compared with the type of work you are doing with the laptop you buy, and mind you one thing, the final price of the product you buy depends on the processor goes up, so if you want to pay almost certainly say that you are buying a processor model with highly evolved, however, we invite you to follow the suggestions given.

Computer Basic

Easy Learn Computer will discuss about computers ranging from the most basic. Before going on to further yahap is useful to know the basic computer first. In this case the basic knowledge to be learned about the introduction of Hardware and Software. 

HARDWARE
Computer hardware can be divided into several parts :

     CPU (Central Processing Unit)
     Input Device
     Output Devices
     Storage Device

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

The CPU is the most important part of a computer. In it there is a lot of hardware to connect and work processes input devices and send the results to the Output Device. CPU Unit consists of: main board, processor, RAM / Memory, Power Supply, Input / Output Controller, Display Controller, Multimedia Controller, Network Controller.

SOFTWARE
Software is a program, device drivers, and files on the computer. Namely;

• Operating System (OS)

The operating system is the software that controls the performance of the main system. In determining the OS to consider the compatibility (support for programs to third parties, as well as support for hardware), stability (Often Mistake or not), and Price Range (OS Windows XP Home Edition for dollar cost nearly 800ribu, Linux offers a free OS such as Ubuntu). 

Example OS, DOS 6.22, Windows 3.11, Windows 95, 97, 98, 2000 Server, XP, 2003, Vista, Linux Mandrage, Linux Ubuntu, Suse Linux, etc.

• Program Application

The application program is a supplemental program to support the performance of the computer. (Price Software Microsoft Office Word, Excel Access to 1.7 million). Example Applications, Office (Word, Excel, etc.), Winamp, Power DVD, Pascal, Application Games, etc.

• Device Driver 

All the hardware described above will not work without a Device Driver is installed in the Operating System. For example, the printer cannot print without a Device Driver. For Exsample : Suppose we want to install a TV tuner card installed in the PCI slot. Once the computer is turned on it will be confirmation that the new hardware found and then the computer asks Device Drivers for new hardware. This could mean that the computer wants to know what the name, the function and workings of the new hardware and ask identifier wheel / in the form of software (usually included in the package tool). After we gave the driver files in the form of software, the computer will know that the name of this tool is the TV Tuner, Brand A, mounted on a PCI-X slot, and so on. However, the operating system has been equipped with many hardware-hardware drivers that are often used in PCs. If we put a new tool to the computer then the tool is ready for use, it is called Tool Compatible. Stay updated drivers so we can work optimally. For example, flash, LX-300 Printer, Monitor.

Know What Overclocking / Overclocking

Overclock might be a foreign language to a beginner in the field of hardware. But for those who have advanced the field of hardware, the word is a word used raw and in their daily lives. Overclock composed of two words is over and the clock, which means setup mainboard and a processor clock for VGA. Overclock can be interpreted to make the computer more quickly.

Not known since when overclocked started. Estimated overclock already started in 1985. The first computer that sold the type of PC XT with Intel processor type (8088) and made quicker work of the NEC V20 processor. Overclock starting to bloom when the Pentium processor and 486 DX Classic first. But when its overclocked processor can only be done with a jumper on the mainboard. For example, Pentium 166Mhz using jumper for reached 200MHz speed, there is little difference between 166 MHz and 200MHz, But good enough to pace that year.

The main objective is the spurring overclock a processor VGA and CPU for faster work. Currently easier to overclock with existing technology, because of the availability of the enhancements, and supported by the mainboard companies to enter the BIOS overclock system. Allow everyone makes computer with overclock.

There are also special purposes a trend after 2000, for gaming applications. Use overclocking / overclocking can cause a dramatic increase in your computer, depending on what you do overclocking. To perform overclocking you simply change the default BIOS settings, and for advanced overclocking you need to have a deeper knowledge. The more you do extremes overclocking the higher the risk, because overclocking maximize your hardware, it causes excessive heat, make sure the air system and the computer is a very good place to place your computer in a room that has air conditioning. If it is not the motherboard, processor, computer, VGA card may be burned, even though the computer has had the system automatically turns off in case of overheating. You need to remember the hardware warranty does not cover damages caused by overclocking!!! By doing overclock, a computer will be faster and more convenient to enjoy. With overclock all devices will increase. The last function is the most commonly used objective.

DIFFERENCES, ADVANTAGES AND LACK OF INTEL PROCESSOR AND PROCESSOR AMD
Some of the differences, advantages and disadvantages of Intel and AMD processors:
1. On the Intel instruction set was MMX, SSE, SSE2, and SSE3, but the AMD SSE2 and 3DNow. But of the many istruksi used by Intel actually has existed in its AMD 3DNow that is not owned by Intel.
2. Maximum of 32K L1 on Intel, AMD is currently at 128K. Based on some tests of AMD with 128K L1 is superior to Intel.
3. Many transistors on an Intel 100 billion is AMD 105 billion.
4. The number of decoders, Integer, FP on intel AMD less than the differences that significantly improve the performance of AMD.
5. Temperature on an Intel processor may be arranged by themselves (the processor will reduce the speed if the processor is too hot), on AMD64 maximum temperature is 900C. Intel technology is more superior than AMD.
6. AMD is superior in the processing of communications applications, such as data transfer on the modem, ADSL, MP3, and doubly Suround Digital Sound.
7. Pipeline on Intel's longer than AMD, but Intel's pipeline problems at the exchange task, so the speed is slow intel pipeline under AMD.
8. Intel wins on brand image and marketnya, while AMD is a cheaper price.
9. On an Intel Pentium 4 standard price, performance lumanyan fast. Sure, for the affairs of less than masshi graphics with AMD, but at least not fast Intel processor heat.
10. On the AMD Athlon processor prices somewhat cheaper than Intel. Really good graphics, decent speed, but cepet really hotter than Intel.
11. For the price and power (electricity) use AMD's much cheaper and far-saving advantages that electricity was not out a lot of capital and cash-flow for the monthly (pay for electricity) is slightly lighter.

My Personal Conclusion:
Intel's more powerful processors than AMD porsesor on multimedia applications and Multi-tasking, whereas AMD wins from Intel processors in its gaming and 3D programs.
Ga no problem want to use AMD / INTEL Possible issue price considerations alone,,, AMD systems with capabilities equivalent to INTEL, INTEL cheaper than ... I underline, a system with equal ability you know ...
Now please take your own conclusions ... to select which .... it's just as good ...
The key can be retrieved with the specifications of masing2 brand ... because it's VITAL ...
