I have a Q6600 (G0 stepping), clocked at 3.2ghz. Will probably leave upgrqading until next year. I'd like to see what the i9's do to the market when they come out.

I've got an Athlon X2 7750 @ 3.0Ghz in what I will consider my main rig right now since I use it more than my other computers. I've also got a Phenom X4 9850 @ 3.0ghz and a Phenom II 940 @ 3.4Ghz in a couple other computers that I don't use as often.

A tiny E6400 is ok except for gta iv and windows media encoder but at 3.4ghz helps when paired up with a 780i/790i or a x48 board.

The "Other" is probably a triple-core, like a 720BE.

Yeah i forgot to make triple an option in the poll. Their not too common. Other refers to anything "other" than what is listed, so yeah i guess that includes triple cores.

Nice how intel quad cores are so popular.

I have a picture of that Cray in my old Sept 1977 issue of Scientific American.
The issue was about microprocessors.Also it had a great article about what developments were going on at Xerox PARC with the Alto workstation and it's GUI.

Depends on definition of "main machine".

My workhorse PC is a six year old XP2400+ that I am in the process of putting out to pasture.
New one will be a Q6600 OC'd to 3.3 GHz (turned down from 3.6 GHz) - my old gaming machine.
Gaming machine is a Q9550 OC'd to 3.6 GHz.

I also have a tinker/torrent box with an E5200 currently at 3.78 GHz. I need the speed for downloads. :D

Since you put it that way, I would say your main machine is the one you are most proud of.

I actually had the Phenom II 720 before this but I sold that to my uncle for 100 bucks and ended up putting that towards the 955. Worked out good for both him and myself, really!

I am going to be buying a nice new Zalman cooler sometime this month btw and see if I can't get some uberfast speeds on the 955. I haven't OC'ed in a while just because AMD hasn't been too OC friendly in the Athlon x2 and orig Phenom era but I think the Phenom II might treat me well in that regard.
