To make everyone happy I'm using Tom's disclaimer

So get your styrofoam/polystyrene and grounding strap and go for it. Also, I am not responsible if your Baron-recommended X2 only gets you 90fps.

Consider this to be a part of every post I make. Hey if it's good enough for Tom......

And at least one comment. Should I add something directly about CPUs? OK.

No, it was actually because I spotted the disclaimer as it comes up n the page to "View forum" or "view post."

I had never saw it before and it was interesting. I wonder if the other sites have that.

So they didn't tell you? I am odd.

OK, I'll bite. What happened to piss you off?

If I had to guess, someone used your advice, it didn't work and now they will not stop PM'ing you about it....

How close am I?

OH, Disregard my previous post. I actually had a chance to read message 95, and that cleared everything up.

Baron.... hay baron.......


Dont be recommending AMD over any C2D... thats bad advice. I mean for a mere $50 bucks more in some cases, a C2D would cut booting time, loading time, and rendering time by 2 seconds. 90fps you say? Shame on you. Someone could buy a q6800 instead and get 190fps because you can reallllllly tell the difference, at only $700 more.


Stop your FUD and join the C2D Lemming party...

Hay its a great way to store electronics.... what else was styrofoam invented for?

In fact Styro in Greek means Static-Free.

yet more reason why I do't recommend C2D unless a person asks about it. If a person is contemplating X2 I will tell them that in most usage scenarios even PD can be overkill.

And will somene please ost the definition of FUD. Wait, I will. It s said to be drawn from IBM trying to convince peole that another company's product was no good.

Wait, that's what all of you do. Every review I have seen clearly states that though Core 2 IS faster X2 is not to be disregarded as it still powers the heck out of games and productivity apps.

It's even cheaper now.

90FPS? If only dude, if only. I'm getting 50 with a frickin' X1800XT... because I have a bloody 640. Not that I'm complaining, my parents paid for this thing when I deserved no more than a pocket calculator.

That's the point I always try to make. I don't doubt the superority of C2D, but my 3200+ only got replaced because it was single channel RAM. And I could have gotten a higher clocked single core cheaper that would have been more than enough.

The only thing EE/FX ( the fastest chip) gets you is bragging rights.

Aren't you the one always saying that you can't wait to get your hands on a Quad FX system because you do heavy-duty development work? Many Virtual Machines running at the same time and all that? Surely to someone like you, processor speed is a little more precious than what you're letting on.

Ok.

Odd that you would say that after starting this thread.

... That's gonna work? Wow, I would have seriously considered QFX if I knew the slowest Barcelona would work! I could have grabbed a pair of Opty 2210s and a QFX board then upgraded when Barcelona became fairly affordable. Definitely an interesting idea.

Edit: I just realized now, "Wait a tic. I thought of that when I put together my build guide!" and promptly slapped myself across the face. XD

How about the metal table?
