[slashzapper]

Hi guys ill get right to the point

is a E6420 a good upgrade to a amd 3000+

also buying the MSI p965 , already have a evga 8800 gts 320megs

I cant afford the e6600 is a the e6420 a good comprimise


please advice thank you

an AMD 3000+ what? Sempron? Athlon XP? Athlon 64?

the answer is yes either way

AMD's offering are a bit better at stock speeds in that price range, a 5600+ will consistently beat a e6420 and is $10 cheaper, but if you're planning to overclock or upgrade in the next year or two then Intel is the better choice.

 

[slashzapper]

Sorry i meant a Athlon 64 3000+

 

[evongugg]

AMD is better for budget systems.
For a mid range system Intel is better.
if you overclock the 6420, you will easy beat the 6600.

Had an AMD X2 3800 and shelled out the $$ for an E6420, MB, and memory. Talk about night and day difference. HAve managed to OC to 3.4 with CPU on air, water on GPU and 6 fans in a highly modified Praetorian case. All the fans are running below the level of being noticed with the box at my feet. You have a decision to make though, wait 24 days and see if the price cuts take effect, or buy it now and enjoy. Your call.

Hey guys i got the e6600

I hopei can feeeeeeel the difference hehehehehe :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I am pretty hot on the Devil o meterhehehehe :twisted: :twisted: :lol:

 

[jackluo923]

LOL.... how did you manage to afford a E6600 when you said that you can't afford it earlier?

 

[slashzapper]

well

I was like how much more do i have to spend so i soldmy psp and 4 games , raised the xtra cash .

Never played it that much over hyped piece of junk , :lol:

So i managed to get the e6600 woohoo

 

[jackluo923]

Well i think its a dumb move. I suggest you return that E6600 and wait for Q6600 after July 22nd. You can get 2 E6600 for the same price. So why not? ALl you gota wait is 24 more days.

 

[slashzapper]

Well proably where you live i am on a different continent buba hahaha

more like ASIA :lol:


And stuff is frigin expensive here but who cares :lol: the weather is great

 

[jackluo923]

LOL... Sorry about assuming you were from US. Which part of Asia do you live? If you live in china, try getting some leaked out C2Ds, lol. It should be less than 100$USD.

 

[slashzapper]

Nope i aint a commie hahahaa (kidding) :lol:


I am the citizen of the largest democracy in the world ahahhaahaa


where nothing gets done :lol: from India and stuff here is just overrated sheesh

 

[jackluo923]

LOL, THe largest democracy in the world is China. LOL>.. or is it burocracy? Too bad Intel doesn'twant *Indian* not native americans, to manufacture CPUs, or you could've leaked some out for very little money. WHy does intel like Chinese and malaysian so much? Almost all the processor are either manufacture in malayshia or china.

 

[slashzapper]

8O Okay first of all the China is not a Democracy

Secondly people are forced into labour where people work for less than a dollar a day to manafacture stuff.

Therefore labour is cheaper .

Also The Republic of India, commonly known as India (locally as Bhārat; see also other official names), is a sovereign country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second most populous country, and the most populous liberal democracy in the world. check it out

woah, china claims to be a communist country but is really more authoritarian (much like the soviet union was because communism can only exist in principle and can never be put into a reality). I guess the red flag and yellow stars on that flag didn't tip you off.

and the second question: dirt cheap labor

 

[jackluo923]

I think its cheaper to make CPU in BC canada because the electricity is so cheap. Also, since making CPU requires minimum labour, labour $ isn't a problem. Machines requires electricity right, and electricity are cheap in Canada, so it will ramp down the cost of the CPU if they make it in Cananda.

 

[turboflame]

I dont think you're getting the picture

minimum wage in US: $5.15/hour

minimum wage in china / malaysia: ~$0.07/hour

 

[turpit]

Well that was an interesting derail.....from "is the 6420 a good upgrade" the minimum wage in China.

 

[jackluo923]

Minimum price for electricity in China: 50c-75c/kWatt hours
Minimum price for electricity in BC, Cananda: 07cents/kWatt hours

If your idustry is huge and beneficial to Canada, they can build a Hydroelectricity powerplant for you just like they built one for Aluminum Industry in the North BC.

I dont' think there's a lot of manual labor in making a CPU. You can't expect someone to the solder the CPU dice to the PCBs. Everything is automated and requires electricity and almost no labor. The only thing people can do is to package the CPU into boxes which machines can do it very fast for 24/7. One machine can take over 100 people's job.

 

[slashzapper]

umm yes but the cost of putting the machines, compared to employing people at 7cents an hour :roll:
