Intel Based NVIDIA

The new boards are going to be based on the GeForce 9-series mGPU, the nForce 730i MCP (MCP7A) and, per the already-mentioned sources, they will come in two versions. The MCP7A-U will come equipped with a GeForce 9400 graphics core, while the MCP7A-S will most likely be built with the GeForce 9300 graphics. The two versions are pretty much the same, the only difference between them being that the GeForce 9400 is faster.

Core 2 Duo notebook processor (CPU)

The Intel Core 2 Duo (also known as Core2 Duo) notebook processor is a 64 bit dual core processor. This means two processor cores work inside a Core 2 Duo in parallel.
The Core 2 Duo, which was introduced on July 27 2006, is the direct successor of the Core Duo. Each core is based on the Pentium M micro architecture. Compared with the old Netburst architecture of the Pentium 4, the cores in the Core 2 Duo have shorter pipelines. As a result, the maximum clock rate is lower but the performance per clock is significantly higher. Thus a Pentium 4M with the same clock rate is up to 40% slower.
Both, the notebook Core 2 Duo and the desktop Core 2 Duo are based on the same processor. However, the notebook version runs with a lower voltage (0.95 to 1.188 volt) and a lower front side bus (1066 vs. 667 MHz). As a result (and because of slower laptop hard discs) the performance of notebooks is about 20% lower than their desktop counterparts with the same clock rate.ey Features

Intel Core i7 I7-920 Quad Core Processor

Check out the most significant architectural change in the x86 architecture in 13 years, the Intel Core i7. Intel has completely reinvented their CPU design, removing the antiquated Front Side Bus and replacing it with the Intel QuickPath Interconnect, delivering up to 6.4 GT/s. Also the Core i7 line is the integrated memory controller, supporting Triple Channel DDR3 Memory allowing for more maximum memory, up to 24GB on some boards, and faster access times. Located directly on the CPU die is 256KB per core of L2 cache and 8MB L3 cache shared across all four cores means the CPU can do more without having to access the main memory, further increasing performance.

Intel S975XBX2 Motherboard + Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4 GHz and Linux compatibility

I recently upgrade my computer from an Intel Celeron 1.7 GHz to Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz ~ 64 bit computer. My old computer was dying. My current desktop configuration:

=> Intel S975XBX2 Workstation class motherboard (8 x SATA II RAID, On board Sound, PCI / PCIe x 2,Gigabit Ethernet and other stuff)

=> Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4 GHz @ 1066 FSB (4 Core CPU + 8 MB L2 Cache )

=> 2 GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM (8GB Max)

=> Nvidia 8600 GT 512 MB PCIe

=> Seagate 500 GB x 4 SATA-II hard disk

=> Cooler master gaming case + 500W SMPS etc

=> Ubuntu Linux 7.04 - 64 bit

According to official Intel website this motherboard only works with Microsoft Windows XP and Vista operating system. However I was able to load Ubuntu Linux without a problem. I'm also able to use RAID 1 via dmraid. It discover and activate software Intel matrix storage RAID.

I also own Dual CPU Dual Core - AMD Opteron 2212 server. This box is now moved to local data center. It is mainly used for serving web pages and developing stuff. Overall I'm quite satisfied with my new computer. I feel like replacing an old car for latest Ferrari

Intel P45 Motherboard

The P45 is obviously the successor to Intel's last mainstream chipset, the P35. The two chipsets that preceded the P45, the X38 and X48, were mainly intended for high performance motherboards, though Asus has used the chipset for some more tame boards like the P5E64 WS Professional workstation motherboard, which sports an X38, and the P5E64 WS Evolution, an X48 version of the same motherboard. Like the P35, the P45 seems like it will be a good platform for a wide range of boards, from economy to performance.

I recently reviewed the Gigabyte EP45-DQ6, Gigabyte's mainstream P45 motherboard. It appears to be a stable, reliable board, something that a mainstream motherboard should be. The P45 market is already getting a little crowded, with something for everyone.

Today I am looking at the Asus P5Q-E, one of Asus' three budget-minded P45 motherboards, this one supporting CrossfireX, with two x 8 slots, and one x 4 slot (the primary PCI-E slot is x 16 when a single video card is used). It also sports heatpipe chipset cooling, and other features we'd expect only on Asus boards costing much more, all with an energy-saving theme. How will this board stand up to the requirements of enthusiasts? Read on to see.

Packaging

The P5Q-E comes in a box similar to most Asus economy boards, an unsleeved box smaller than their mainstream or gaming motherboards, in a shiny metallic blue motif. The box is covered front and back with features and specs.

Inside, the motherboard is separated from the bundle by a cardboard divider. The motherboard is on the bottom, in a static-free envelope.
