    AMD's big suprise revealed.

    well intel couldnt have the same performance with their FSB design , the idea is offcourse that there would be extra HT links between the procs combined with the integrated memory controller : 2 x ( x2 3800+ @ 35W TDP ) for $ 500 souds cool so you look at $ 500 , total 70 Watt TDP i´d like to...

    AMD's big suprise revealed.

    well offcourse it can also be a clever way to try and sell you 2 processors instead of one 8) but if you dont need ECC mem then its a lot cheaper than comparable opterons rigs plus it brings quad computing in the consumer space a bit faster so (hopefully) the development of software...

    AMD's big suprise revealed.

    Well , not really .... 2 x amd x2 3800+ low energy procs @ 35 W tdp = 70 watt 4 cores , price about $ 500 ( for cpus that is ) assuming you can run these boards with only 1 cpu installed makes a good upgrade path if vista turns out to be quite demanding :) also if you would be able to...

    7900GT or x1800XT

    Well i DO have both (even different brands) and i can tell you that 1800 runs hotter and noisier...period . performance wise it depends what you want to run but both cards are great performers . furthermore : take an arctic cooling vga silencer when you buy a new card, $ 25 on top of one...

    CONROE PERFORMANCE CLAIM BEING BUSTED

    oh come on , i agree it´s a bit of "black humor" but he makes a point and it gets noticed ... I consider rambling on about an unreleased product way more "out of line" than posting a retard-joke . let´s wait and see and not waste valuable thread-space on specuation and name-calling .

    AMD to Make 65nm Announcement Next Week

    This whole fanboy thing is outta whack , we build systems with both amd and intel and (usually) you can state that a newer product will be somewhat better than an older one. If your cpu is old , a new one might be better for you. This goes up for both companies. Pricing in my neck of the...
