Woo Hoo The Day Is Here The X2 6000+ Is Now $239 @ Newegg!

Im all over that,and Ill never turn to the darkside of Intel!

Immaturity. :x

Well aren't they dropping all C2D prices in late April? I mean the E6600 would be around that price and most of the benchmarks show E6400 comparable with 6000+.

Immaturity. :x

and why did you and dasickninja post? To show that your both in contention for poster of the year (no life of the year) on THG?

Dont forget your free mobo dude, although its now outta stock and I cannot even see the mobo 8O
Hello Bytch, I see you still crusade against everyone.

Benchmarks are nothing, most of the places that do it are biased, even some of the benchmarking programs show a higher score when they're actually slower. But oh well, not much we can do.

hahahaha your avitar enhances the funny

and in a year, it will be $50 bucks.... whats your point?

ahahahaha nice

Don't buy it now, you'll be kicking yourself in 3 months' time when they drop the price another 50%

Problem is, that chip won't oc at all beyond 3ghz (perhaps 3.2 tops) and it still only can compete with the e6600 which shall be cheaper in a few weeks, I say dump that chip for either the 5200 and oc that (roughly $80 less once newegg drops the price, kinda weird how they raised it instead 8O ), or just get a conroe (or you could do the smart move and wait to see what amd has in store with k10)

I'd have to disagree. I personally favor the 5200 as my favorite am2 cpu, since it has the full cache is only $160 on most sites now (just give newegg a day or two to fix that)

The only problem I have with the 6000, is that the e6600 still beats it in some applications or at least ties with it, and will be just $200, which makes it even harder to justify. That's why I prefer the 5200, because if you already have an am2 mobo and have to get something with less performance, why pay more for it?

Your shear ignorance is breath taking:

Never seen those articles, but those games will run just fine on a dual-core AMD 6000+. I don't see the point of spending $800+ on a processor, that will later be phased out and will have tons of price cuts just like intel and amd are doing right now on their dual cores. The only time I think I'll buy them is when dual-core is phased out.

ProdigyMS:this is what I was talking about, plenty of stuff is already multithreaded, and so will be future software

Kinda bugs me though how intel can't create a native quad, so they are simply adding hyperthreading again and expecting people won't notice the difference between their octo core and montreal


Jesus_My_Saviour: Personally, I've learned not to trust overclockers.com on amd opinionated things, because they have shown themselves to be pretty intel sided, so they'll just say whatever, and don't forget it's just an opinion, it's not written in stone yet. My guess is that perhaps it will drop a few dollars, but it's unlikely, because the retailers want to make money, it really biols down to whether amd will sell the chip at a cheaper price to them or not, because they generally just have a set margin between their price and amd's price so that they will make a profit 8)

I just wanted to see the Intel Fanbase come out of the woodwork...I was right. But I just cant go with Intel,no matter what unless Amd completely goes away, its just a brand preference.

Seems like you yourself a fanboy, so I don't see how you could criticize intel people. I personally have some prefference towards amd, but I'm neutral when it comes to recommending parts to people

It looks pretty good, but dump the 6000 for a 5200 or even the 3600 oem with a nice cooler and step up to a gtx from the gts, I think that would be the smart move. Another thing, throw that zaman into the trash, I stupidly bought the 9500 am2, and that was the worst mistake of my computer purchases yet. It's noisey, crappy at cooling, costs too much, and the list goes on and on. I would say get something like a scythe infinity, or better yet, a thermaltake bigwater 745, probably the cheapest worthwhile watercooling kit on the market if you get a brisbane 3600 instead, that should overclock to over 3ghz on water and still remain cool because it's 65nm and has less cache 8)

Really like the gateway monitor, I must say I was impressed with it, but I don't have the money for one, so what do you think on this monitor I'm going to buy instead?

On the 22nd, so just 2 weeks from now, I thought that was common knowledge

Immaturity. :x

I'll second that

Yeah, at least provide a link to the product page. Or an even better idea, post in one of the already existing threads dedicated to price cuts that happened today.

So you posted flame bait. Hnn. As for your AMD no matter what preference, that is your prerogative, but please be aware, you set yourself up to lose money.

Seem's like u took it....

anyway i would go with intel as of now, its just because they have the best for the $$. I am in no way brand loyal... if some smuck comes out with somethen and it ownz the brand name... well guess what im with the smuck for the time being.

Err, sorry to say, but the way to fall for flame bait is to flame, and I don't think I've even done anything close to flaming. Some of the things I've said or will say are harsh, but that's just the way I am.

I have gotten t the point that I don't do recommendations for people nor to I care if they are an AMD fan or an Intel fan. It doesn't affect me, nor does it bother me.

I'll do one here and there but that's not what I do anymore. Ask around to see what I do if you are actually interested in having a discussion about this.

I'm of the same opinion that this is a place to help people and we should do our best in this regard but when it comes to the end of the day, I'm not buying, so I really don't care if the person follows my advice or not.

apple uses intel chips, so they are not competing with them.
