EM64T compatibility

Post by **Kills On Site** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 9:51 pm

Would a Pentium D with EM64T, 64-bit, work with XP Pro the non-64-bit version perfectly? Also is it compatibile with the 945G northbridge?

yes, it will work with the 32bit vir...

and i am not sure about the NB support.

edit: what am i talking about?!?!? Look at the mobo's that you are looking at or have and see if it support it!

Well I am looking at a Shuttle SD36G5 It says it supports Pentium Ds. Would its power supply, 250 watt, be able to support a 2.8 Pentium D and a 6600 PCI-E. I assume it would, but I have never built one of these little machines and am wondering if anything is different or harder then working on an ATX case.

consider a new PSU .. 350 Watt minimum
you may and most likely will run into problems at 250W
they are not expensive

350 Min for stability....

What size power supply fits in Shuttles, I assume that a standard ATX would not work, so what size would it be.

shuttles use a slimmer design .

google shows many people running newer vid cards on 250W psu .. even shuttle says it can but you will just have to find out for yourself i suppose.

i could not find online a place to purchase seperatly 300W or more PSU's for shuttle.

you can buy 250W psu which apparently are
very very good PSU's.

other psu's mislead you on their specs apparently.

i'll go on a limb and say it will work so long as you don't overuse the psu with too many drives etc

if ya gots the bucks buy a better newer shuttle with a higher rated psu for the future "dual vid cards mobo"

Well my sister doesn't exactly do anything too terribly taxing. As long as it can physically survive a college dorm it should be fine I would think. All the reviews are happy with it.

The reason I would go with a video card, save for the fact that I do hate onbaord, is that a 6600 has a DVI port and my sister uses an LCD with both D-Sub and DVI input, however she runs D-Sub and I think that a DVI would be a better picture. Perhaps that would be an upgrade for later.

Does anyone know the exact way that the hard drive fits, she has a parallel hard drive and I have a converter to convert it to SATA and would like to do that since if it were put on a parallel it would share it with the DVD burner.

On a GeForce 6600, you'll need at least 400W of power. I suggest a minimum of 450 to make sure it isn't underpowered.

*EDIT* Unless you don't do anything heavy :icon26:

Ahhh, Errr.... Mazda.. thats a little high man.. the 6600 GT only draws about 90watts by itsself.

And those Psu's that he is talking about can do ~300 watts without breaking a sweat..

i say he will be fine with that.

if we where talking about Reg ATX PSU's the more the beter
