Thread: Fastest dual core 32-BIT CPU?

Since I am look used for to place up being of the previous Windows skill that I will ever own. By means of an ATI Radeon All inside speculate to capture the odd video, I require WindowsXP 32-bit.

If I acquire a 64-bit structure, I want a 64-bit OS on it. As such, I am asking the forum members for some advice on choosing the right 32-bit hardware for this “legacy machine”

I am seeking the fastest dual-core, 32-bit processor out there. Not necessarily in GHz, but in sheer power. This processor can be either AMD or Intel it will probably be Intel dishonor, since I am an AMD stalwart, but it must be a pure 32-bit processor. Additionally, I am going to need to have it support therefore, probably Intel, and SSE3 would be nice, but not overly necessary.

I actually don’t want to risk among my money. Hence, my appeal to you people for some help. My problem is, while Wikipedia has a very nice breakdown of Intel processors that would fit my needs, these descriptions don’t exactly provide an easy way of spotting the appropriate processors on EBay and other sites. While I could make guesses,

When shopping for my item from what I assemble, the Pentium 4 EE, 4E and 4F grades of computer were the last of the 32-bit dual-cores. What I am asking for is whether I am on the right track with these processors, and what to look for on EBay, etc.

I could also exercise a number of suggestion for Motherboards, if at all possible. If there is an agreement about which processor would be the best match, could someone also pipe in on some Motherboard suggestions?

One of the negligible reason why I am an AMD fan is because there is hardly ever any ambiguity as to what AMD CPU would work in each motherboard a socket 939 mobo could run any socket 939 chip, whereas Intel had a very confusing series of “generations” within each socket design that made it very hard to determine which board could run which processor what processors can run on an LGA775 board? -- It depends.

I moreover formerly saw a dual-socket Intel mobo that could take two dual-core 32-bit chips. I can’t remember any details, aside from it being a dual-socket, dual-core 32-bit architecture. Does anyone know the board I am talking about, or was I just hallucinating?

This makes no sense, why in the globally do have to a true 32bit computer? If you where to do what you actually said you wanted to do. You would be just wasting money. This is also something that baffles me. Get a cheap Intel Pentium dual core. But then you said you wanted the fastest 32bit dual core possible so I’m stumped.

Can you give details why you require a 32bit just chip? Current computer system can run both in bites, and are a lot fast than any P4.

Since they have long been discontinuing from trade to sale. Anyway, to answer your question, the P4 Northwood and Athlon XP were the last generation of CPUs that were 32bit only, and both are terribly outdated by today’s standards. You'll nearly all likely only find them duplicate,

Except it's your change and by trade what you are after you really is gambling it. In sheer power, any CPU that is only 32-bit will get its ass handed to it by a native 32-bit CPU that can also process 64-bit instructions. Why? Because they are so damn old. A 64-bit CPU provided it isn't an Itanium or similar is just as capable more, usually more capable, of processing 32-bit data than a "pure" 32-bit CPU.

All Athlon X2's and Pentium D's/EE's are 64-bit. In fact, since 2006, all CPU's have been 64-bit. You're slaying your cash to build a scheme around a 32-bit CPU period considering you'll buy them used and from no dependable source.

I don't be familiar with why you're so fixed on this crazy idea, but XP runs the same on a 64-bit CPU as it does on a 32-bit CPU. You're better off spending the money on new hardware since, as you said; this is the last mechanism you want to put up.

I have an AGP video connector but can exercise a PCIE vga, I can use DDR or DDR2 memory, I have some old wd 120gb and Maxtor 160gb ata but be able to use SATA2 had, and I can capture full height PAL with no dropped frames with my tube tuners and by means of less than lower microprocessor procedure.

I believe that something like this is the best solution as you can reuse the old hardware that you have memory. Misery, I still tested an old AGP card with vivo and I find the same concert, as for capture you repeatedly need a fast drive Pentium dual core SATA2 for under 90euros.
