Answer after overclock: Probably NOT. Every preview I've seen show very good overclocking potential for CONROE and I wouldn't be surprise to see this 1,86GHZ baby overclock like heaven (has oppose to hell ) But to confirm this we'll all have to wait at the end of july. I'll put my money on CONROE tough!!!
I mean, it's not like the internet is filled with post of 50% overclock for A64X2 3800+. But I think will be fairly easily achievable for the baby Conroe at 1,86GHZ. I'mm not saying it will be cool, but with decent cooling it should overclock very well in theory.
Thats also true, but DDR1 wont get any cheaper (= going to become more expensive), while Conroe only needs some low clockspeed (667 or even 533) DDR2 to perform.
Just because you live in a cave outside Bitola, I'll forgive your misspelling of EXPENSIVE.
Again you failed to impress me. If you googled around to find any info (city from my country) that does not make you a geography Ph. D. But I am sure you'll claim that you are, just like the 50 jobs you are doing in parallel.
I gave you my addres & phones numbers(yes we have phones in our caves), but you are very stupid to check out in which city I actually live.
So becouse you are stupid, I'll not forgive you and I will PWN your dumb ass over and over every time you post BS.
Now can we start please, I feel like arguing with idiot and it is fun.
You guys just need to chill. There are other threads dedicated to juvenile arguments like those. I'm sure AMD and Intel appreciate you championing their respective causes, but it's not necessary.
It has been established that Core 2 Duo/Conroe will, I repeat will beat the current Athlon 64 architecture, hands-down. I think we can agree on this, fanboys from both sides alike. We can also agree that it is not the end of the world for either side. Both companies are working hard to produce better products.
Everyone can agree that while Netburst was fast, the A64 architecture was superior in most areas. Netburst was hot-running, and very inefficient. Now Intel is going to take the performance crown with Core 2. And if it's better, they earned it. No amount of poo-pooing will take that crown away from them. Core 2 will be good, so deal with it.
Intel people, feel free to brag. AMD people, feel encouraged to just smile and nod, knowing that Texas will produce something to beat Core 2. And the cycle will continue.
