Re: Phenom 2 X3 720 info

Love this CPU. I have one and it's been in daily use since 2009. My brother bought it back then with an appropriate motherboard and easily unlocked the 4th core and raised the core clock slightly to reach 3GHz. 100% stable for us, never bluescreened, never caused us an issue. In the past few years, …

Re: Phenom 2 X3 720 info

I have no idea why but I thought you had it in an AM2+ socket, hence my DDR2 comments. It was just a brain fart; DDR3 is plenty enough for that chip. No problem I still don't know the differences of both sockets. I never used this "modern" systems I'm discovering lately. :) But I was happy with a …

Re: Phenom 2 X3 720 info

50W is probably idle Phenom II wattage with Cool n Quiet enabled, something Barton did not have hence 115W at idle with Barton.. It's a pretty decent processor and definitely better than Q6600. It has better IPC than Bulldozer and is generally regarded as a better processor than its successor. That …

Phenom 2 X3 720 info

Hi, I bought used a Phenom 2 X3 720 Black Edition (AC Deneb core - "4?" cores, 512 KB L2 cache per core, 6 MB L3 cache) and an Asus M4A89GTD PRO USB3 and actually testing it on Linux LXDE. I'm generally impressed how well it runs with the onboard Radeon HD 4290 graphic and just 4GB DDR3 1600. I was …

No idea if you already heard about it, but LGR uploaded a video about the Nokia 3310 just a few days ago! ^^ What a coincidence, isn't it ? Just about a week after this thread had been created.. The video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xNVmmJ0nZY After the official announcement …

I'm actually using a nokia 3310 as my only mobile. I have two, a standard 3310(blue) and the white one is a 3330(few small changes, but nothing really significant). I've been down the smart phone route but the crap reliability, battery life and distractions with crap put me off them for life. I …

They already released a "new" 3310 more than a decade ago. It was called the 6300 and it had nearly the same specs as this one. And then there were tons of "new 3310's" before and after that, by Nokia and almost every other phone maker, only they didn't have the name. Yeah, there were a lot of " …

I think there would be a lot of uses for a cheap phone like this. I have this Samsung clamshell that I got for free as a work phone and the battery life is simply amazing! http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-GT-C3595_id8522 I had it on for 36 hrs straight and it still showed full bars (only a …

Re: PSU - bust the myth

Man I had some of those no brand 500/600W with impossible 3,3v/5v wattage that were almost lighter than the box they came with. Lol. Few components, ridicolous heatsinks and thin wires, even the black wall eletric plug could not stay well inserted into it. I'll never buy one again. Lately I've seen …

I am still using my Samsung flip phone from 2003, and it and the battery survived a round through the wash. I will use it until it's dead for good. I welcome the Nokia news because I finally have the option for a new replacement. I do not want or need a smart phone. I see how the youth today are …
