A Perfect Capstone - The Z68 Chipset
The Z68 chipset is the final result of one of Intel's most inspiring releases to this day. Sandy Bridge represents a step in technology which marks an architecture level that will last for a few years. This is equivalent to when the first 64 bit processors were released and when the first quad core processors became affordable available.
The reason behind Sandy Bridge's success is that the CPU is way more interactive apropos video performance than any CPU in the past. It isn't simply a central processing unit, but it is a PC Gamers central processing unit - no other processor exceeds the i5-2500k for gaming performance. It is matched only by the i7-2600k (a hyperthreaded version of the i5). Soon Intel will be releasing the Sandy Bridge-E enthusiast series with the x79 chipset, but that combo will run you $1500 on the cpu/mobo alone.
The Z68 chipset represents a perfect offering for the multi-user: the individual who espouses to be an enthusiast P.C gamer but also has lots of other uses for the computer - such as graphical production, writing, school, development or anything you might think of to be used with a P. C..
Taking the best from the P67 chipset - overclocking capabilities - and the H67 chipset - onboard video - the Z68 chipset provides an offering for those that like to overclock but also want the technical usefulness of the on board video (which is historically better for video trans-coding than a discrete 3d card). Along side the combo of the best of these other chipsets, the Z68 provides two unique offerings.
The first of these bonuses from the Z68 chipset is called Virtu. Virtu is an unrelated party program which uses the on board video capacities with a discrete 3d video card - something any enthusiast P.C gamer is going to use. Rather than having the on board video get wasted, Virtu will switch functions from the 3d discrete card to the on board if the current action would be more tightly fitted to the on board - like Video trans-coding. This ends up having no effect on the gaming performance.
The other brilliant addition to the Z68 chipset is SSD caching. This provides one the power to get SSD speeds at a much lower cost. If one were to get an SSD to install O. S and all programs for the rate of use - while keeping stored files on a HDD - you would spend at least $250 on a 120GB SSD for minimum effectiveness. With SSD caching, it is possible to get the same speed performance boost but with a 20-40GB SSD for not more than $100.
Actually , the Z68 chipset is simply a capstone for one of the most brilliant tech releases of computer hardware. AMD is still staggering from Sandy Bridge, and it'll take them years (if they're ever able) to offer an offering that can even compete in the same realm.
Joseph Robertson has been building computers for 10 years and for lots of that time has been helping others find out more about new hardware like the Z68 Chipset. Check out his blog for more in-depth information on the Z68 Chipset.
Why is my pc so slow?
I have an intel g31/p31 series mobo, radeon x550/x700 graphics adapter and a 512 ram...And I'm using windows 7 ultimate as my OS... Is it my ram that slows my pc? and if I increase my ram, will it speed up my pc?
Yes, i would say 2gb min for Win 7 4Gb would be better, 512 is not enough to load the operating system so your computer is always swaping out memory to the hard drive and that is very slow.
Good luck
