Tri Core
Unlocking an AMD Athlon tri core processor into a quad core?
I am buying this processor for my new computer http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16819103724 and it is apparently a quad core with one of the cores turned off to make it a tri core, and somehow the extra core can be turned back on and used. Does anyone know how to do this? I’ve searched everywhere and can’t find a solution
If you want to cheat the system a little, just buy an i3 530 and it will run 4 applications through hyper threading at 2.93Ghz just like a quad core. Cost is $120, the H55 motherboard will run $110 for a good Gigabyte motherboard, and 4gigs of DDR3 1600 will run ya $110. Just choose your ram for 1.5Volts or lower, only problem is the good stuff for those boards, which is 1.35Volt ram is about $130, but the heat savings is amazing…
If you are a gamer, go ahead and budget a graphics card, if you are kinda low on funds the i3 530 has a good graphics chip built into the CPU… Then you can get your card later into your build… Just plan ahead on the PSU though, no use buying 2 PSU’s when you could do that right the first time…
