Well, After being on the amd bandwaggon for a while, I finally realized that AMD isnt all that it is hyped up to be, when comparing it to the fact that Intel cpu's do not have the overheating problem like amd does, and although amd's generally have faster clock speeds, OC'ing an intel is alot more safer, considering the fact that with a 2.8ghz cpu i am running at 35-38 celcius idle, and with my 1.5ghz amd i was running 55c idle. But anyway, I am just very happy with my new cpu/mobo/ram..
I went from a:
1800+ Athlon 1.5ghz cpu
abit kr7 mobo
512 ddr 2100 ram
9600 XT
sound blaster audigy
to
P4 2.8C ghz HT
abit IS7 mobo
512 DDR400 ram
9600 XT (which now takes full advantage of my 8xagp mobo)
same soud card
but anyway, I got a bit out of subject here, I am not here to glorify my purchase or disrespect computer hardware companies, I mainly came to ask if HT technology from intel is an automatic feature, which cannot be enabled or disabled, that runs when cpu's have an overload (this is what I heard) or are toggle features (from the bios) which can be on or off?
And also, I know there are millions of threads and documents on how to overclock a cpu, but I was wondering if anyone knows if the IS7 series from Abit can handle OC'd cpu's well? and if the 2.8c overclocks well itself? and if so, how would I go about doing this? Thing is, I had a very old version of the BIOS with my old motherboard and things got a bit new with my cpu/mobo, so was wondering if anyone can give me some general tips..
Thanks in advance.
