what is the latest CPU socket on the market? I am so confused with all of the available sockets on the market now.
What is the fastest Intel CPU for appropriate socket?
Does duo core CPU speed up regular business apps or window 2003 processing?
What precisely are you trying to do, you've been asking about Rators, various old sockets, various old motherboards, data recovery from unbootable HDD, windows 2003? the server version is that?
Socket 775 is latest intel for desktop, Am2 is AMD for desktop, with Socket F for servers/enthusiast (I think) which makes 3, there might be another intel one for servers.
Do you want Core Duo, or Core 2 Duo, C2D is latest.
Do you actually know what you are talking about, your defective HDD post was very confused and indicated that you may not know some of the basics regarding changing boot sequences. If you don't know what you are talking about don't try to help people by telling them that their CMOS may be defective...
Yes these newer processors are faster then the older ones.
Tell us what you are trying to achieve, are you trying to build a server, what for and why? is it a gaming server, or a database server? Are you trying to build a basic PC, or a gaming machine.
If you can tell us what you are trying to achieve you have a much greater chance of getting answers that fullfill your needs, as opposed to asking multiple semi-related questions, and not getting a coherent picture of your next steps.
I am just updating my knowledge about latest hardware stuff. I have game PC P4 3.2Ghz on Asus P4C800 deluxe.
