Fastest PC

4 core chip group now on mainboard.

3G memory 512 pipe lines gpu

but today is fastest, tommorrow will be slower one.

Fast is relative, and also subjective. Fast CPU processing? Fast I/O? To build or buy a PC looking for the fastest possible overall performance, you need to match the CPU, the amount (and speed) of RAM, and the I/O performance of the hard disk subsystem, and to a certain extent, the speed of the graphics card. Since CPU times are so many orders of magnitude faster than the fastest mechanical (i.e., Hard Disk) systems, a really fast HD coupled with even a mediocre CPU will "seem" faster than a screamer of a CPU bound to a slow disk. Balancing and juggling the mix between CPU, RAM, and HD is often trial and error. More RAM is generally the best bang for the buck in terms of increasing your PCs utility - there is pretty much no such thing as "too much RAM". And its price makes it the easiest, fastest, cheapest way to add life to an existing computer that you might otherwise think is ready for the scrap heap.

I agree...

A computer (or computer system) can be just as fast as its slowest component.

The RAM can be only limited by what the motherboard can accommodate.

Hi guest,

The fastest PC is icluding: Multi CPU or multi core CPU, fastest CPU speed, fastest memory speed, Highest memory volume (if available) in mainboard, fastest I/O, fastest GPU, fastest.........

But you should choose the best optimize PC for your work requires: Office, Designer, Game,....

Please tell us What your require is? And you want to build yourself or buy from some brand?

...and that will require a high capacity (perhaps 1KW) power supply.

And! serious and perhaps expensive cooling.

Here's the future of fast PC processing

The memory & processor as close together as possible!.

Hi Garthh,

Are you talking about the FaStack technology? It makes a lot of sense. I didn't know this was already being done. Thanks for the link.

Garthh -

I entirely agree! Memory access is a huge bottleneck for super-fast processors.

When do you suppose the "Big Guys" (Intel, AMD, Cray) will start using this technology?

The proto's are in testing, there's lots of interest from the big boy's

as speeds increase the distance between the chips starts to become significant

the shorter the bus the faster you can access the memory.

The fab techniques are of course much more complex.

u know nothing about computers so shut ur piehole jerkoff!!!!!!!!!

What do you know, you are only a stupid troll, hiding behind the name of "guest", what does your opinion count for? Less than zero here...........

Try being a man/woman, come out of your little "hidey hole", take a proper name on CR4 (or use the one that you already have but were not man enough to risk using!) and stand up on your hind legs for the first time in your life as all "real" humans do.

That way your opinion, no matter what it is, might be given some credence at least for honesty....

BTW.....you cannot even spell correctly and the sentence you wrote is full of expletives, so all the indications are that your level of knowledge and education are extremely primitive at best!!!

How much fast , whenever i upgrade my PC i feel it is fastest PC in the world ,applications do make your PC to slow down , actually it appears to slow down ,your hardware does perform optimumly ,most of the peripherials are still very slow compared to CPU and that brings complete systems performance down to suppose above average

Tell us what you want to do with it and maybe the software packages you want to run as well.....

Also, to demonstrate the differences between a relatively "old" P4 chip and the latest Dual Core Chips from Intel, I have clipped a comparison table out from the German ComputerBild Magazine that I get sent every 2nd week (Its a twice Monthly).

Here you can see that although the difference is over 3 times (from PCs with the correct memory, correct HD etc etc), when you think of the marketing hype and value differences etc., that is really not a great deal of difference! And wrongly set up, the differences will be much smaller.....

I hope this helps! I personally have a PC that I built about Feb 2006, using the then "sweet spot" CPU, which is an AMD (I prefer them to Intel because I don't like Intel's marketing policies, nor do I like the fact that their CPUs are far more heat sensitive than AMDs are) Athlon 64 X2(Dual Core) 4400 2.2Ghz. With XP Pro. It would come out around 205% in this table if placed there. Compared to the

PCs of friends with newer faster CPUs, visually I see little difference. Only when running say a video application, is the difference noticeable, sometimes only when using a Stopwatch!!!

Different applications doing the same job can have huge speed differences, so you need to make sure that you buy the "fastest" software that does what you want. Depending upon how or in what an application was programmed, makes a stunning difference.

I still use a CAD for PCB layouts that was programmed in assembler in the days of 286 PCs with 12 mhz CPUs, it still runs on most moder CPUs in a DOS box!!! Now it makes modern programs look really slow!! and it still gets the job done. I use an old 386 Laptop for it usually, which is still blindingly fast.....

Its sad that the modern programmer, with his restraints of time is generally not allowed to write using an assembler more often......program logic is the same, but the extra overhead of a language slows down the program's function and makes the final code many times larger than an assembler version......a lot of programmers won`t have it, but then they probably never used anything less than "C" or similar!!! So simply do not believe them....

Modern CPUs allow unwieldy code to run faster.......which causes the next range of CPUs to be made even faster and sold at higher prices.......and so on.....

Andy since ya over in Germany I guess ya know alot about Medion Puters then, using one here in the USA.

Had a lot of Medion bits and pieces, but never had a computer from them. They are very popular here as they are sold via very cheap supermarkets, all the tests show they are well worth their money.

I always build my own from the exact parts I want to see in my computer....since the 286 days and 10MB hard disks.....

I built my first single board computer in 1979.....great fun....

It was my first bought puter, I too use to build my own, but they offer one I couldn't turn down. I don't know about how cheap they are, but my wasn't cheap since it was more on the latest stuff out there at the time, tho now any older one; aleast 4yrs+, tho still running strong. One of the first HT ones at 3GHz, I am happy tho, does great photoshop work. Not many store over here cover them as is types of software I like as well; TuneUp Utilities from over there works very well
