Orchid Technologies Engineering and Consulting, Inc., designs custom Intel Architecture processor board
Maynard, MA (November 24, 2009)- Orchid Technologies Engineering and Consulting, Inc., designs custom Intel Architecture processor board
Modern Intel Architecture processor board design spans a wide range of processor performance and power. From Atom to Multicore Processors, Orchid Technologies can design a custom Intel Architecture solution to meet your specific requirements. Orchidâs Core2 Quad Processor board is feature packed. Designed for ruggedized operation in a small air-cooled package, our Core2 Quad Processor design is alone in its class.
Critical to the success of any custom Intel Architecture design is the Embedded Controller. Orchid has developed and ported numerous Embedded Controller designs. These designs, based on Renesas 2117 and Renesas 2472 H8 processors offer ACPI, PS2 Keyboard, and Power Sequencing services.
Intel Architecture requires BIOS software customization and porting. Orchid Technologies can customize a BIOS for your embedded applicationâs specific needs. Working with core BIOS, we will port and write firmware for your specific needs.
The development of custom electronic products for our OEM clients is Orchidâs entire business. The design of high- speed compute platforms with rapid design cycles, demanding technical requirements, and unforgiving schedules sets us apart. Visit www.orchid-tech.com to view our recent designs.

Need help with a custom PC… What should I get?

Question by wabbit sniper: Need help with a custom PC… What should I get?
Okay, well, honestly I’m not a big techie but I do know some things but I just don’t have experience with them. I would like to know about the 4 major components of a PC and your opinion on each (other stuff like hard drive, disc burner, etc. are all covered.)
Presuming I am on a 00 budget… Please answer ANY of the questions as clearly and descriptively as possible!!! Thank you so much! =D
CPU:
1) Intel or AMD? I’ve heard Intel is more expensive but more efficient, cooler, uses less power, etc. while AMD is very powerful but uses a lot of wattage (will 500 watts be enough for a power supply?)
2) Dual Core or Quad Core? Not much software out there can handle or are designed to be used in quad core systems (I’ve heard) which can make them kind of redundant/useless… So 3.0 ghz dual core or 2.0 ghz quad core? (Gamers, please no “10 ghz maxed out overclocked super fast gaming CPU” lol… remember, 00 budget!!!)
RAM:
1) Does 667mhz and 800mhz really make a difference even if they’re both, say, 4 gigabytes? Also what brand would you recommend?
GRAPHICS CARD:
1) nVidia GeForce or ATI Radeon? Is there really a difference?
2) Is the Radeon HD 4850 a good video card? Let’s say I want to do casual gaming (like once or twice a week to relieve stress) but with demanding games like Command & Conquer or Call of Duty 4. Also I will use rendering programs and 3D graphics programs and Adobe Flash and programs as such.
3) How about the nVidia 9800 GTX?
4) How much video card memory is necessary and how much is overkill? IMO 512mb might be enough… (NOT RAM)
LAST ONE: NETWORK CARD
1) What is a “gigabit” network card? All the people at forums are like “Dude get a gigabit network card if you want less lag”
2) What do the numbers 10/100/1000 mean? is 10/100 better than 10/100/1000?
Best answer:
Answer by Gergy008
CPU:
Ok, You are best off with a quad core intel CPU for gaming. General use, I’d get an AMD Phenom x3.
RAM:
The higher the MHZ the faster it goes, Depending on your motherboards FSB speed.
GRAPHICS:
Radeon HD 4850 is fine. Even better if you get the AMD Processor too.
NETWORK CARD:
Gigabit, It’s a new gen speed for Ethernet connections.
10/100/1000 is how fast (in mBps) the card runs at. Get 10/100/1000 if possible, It’s faster.
