You kinda scared me when you said "Do not buy AMD".

You might want to change the Title to something like mine...no point in starting a flamewar with people because they didn't read your actual post.

Maxtor disgraces the six letters that make Matrox.

Thank you Blue no flame war here as every computer person on the planet knows as of last week that if you want the Best CPU on the planet then you get the best CPU on the planet.

I will however look for another 3200+ at less then $500.00 Canadian in a few months they should drop to around $400.00 Canadian.

I had to pay for my 3200+ Four months back and it was expensive but worth every penny I have never had a better CPU in either Intel or AMD for gaming, it's simply a fact the thing kicks Online Multy Player Ass I win every damn game now.

My 2800+ Barton cost almost $400.00 Can last year so we can see how the prices are changing. To bad I did not earn what I earn in Canadian Dollars but lived in the States man everything is exactly half what we pay up here for things.

Of course my Salary Canadian living in the US I would have actual thoroughbreds In the Barn as well as in the P.C.

The P4EE is better, if all you want to do is brag about how much you spent on your rig.

P4's were going for $800.00 Can up here Endy should I have built 2 computers and spent $1600.00 dollars just on CPU's or was it better that I built my wife a new XP2800+ then myself a new XP 3200+ for $800.00 in change for both CPU's.

Besides my computer is for gaming and I would never buy an Intel CPU for gaming they could have had a P4 at a garage sale for 20 bucks and I would have picked it up but I would NOT use it for gaming.

I could overclock it I suppose and use it as a coffee warmer That is about all they are good for aside from a business computer.

Haw fast you run your 3200+, with liquid cooling? 2.5GHz or more?

No, he runs it at stock because he has no clue on how to overclock properly.

We're talking about someone that 'overclocks' his video card by overclocking the AGP bus.

I taped a clock onto my mobo. Very efficient OC if you ask me...

[TheRod]

Humm...

So why watercool, if you don't overclock? When have you bought your Barton 3200+?

[Zoron]

Water cooling is quieter than air cooling, so I'm assuming that would be one of the main reasons. Other than that, I see no point in using it if you're not overclocking. Running a CPU a 12 C won't magically make it run longer or better than a CPU running at 30, 40 or 50 C.

Water cooling is quieter than air cooling

Do you not need a fan on a water cooler's radiator? Would that not then be outside of the computer case instead of inside where the case can muffle the noise? Am I mistaken? :redface: I do not see how water cooling is quieter than good air cooling with a large low RPM fan.
