I agree with you rich. At first I wanted to cut mike a break because he knew what he was talking about. But I have gotten sick of his childish rants and name calling. Loyalty to the company is no excuse for such behavior.

LOL what loyalty? I'm having fun with the fanboys, this has nothing to do with loyalty, LOL.

BTW: Got any strawberries?

No but I got some PRUNES... :tongue:

you strawberry troll... :wink:

Got any IQ? lol

~~Mad Mod Mike, pimpin' the world 1 rig at a time

Yeah I had mine this mouring

also had some with lunch....

pokeing fun at ya 3M chill! But I got to laugh. You get a whole thread because of benchmarks and your attitude....damn thats funny :trophy:

I got 2! ;D I'm a celebrity on these forums dude, everybody is looking at me and paying attention to me, I'm cool now 8).

I was promised some fx-62 action. WHERE IS IT? I DEMAND SATISFACTION! jkjkjkjk hahahah on a serious note, MadModMike isn't that bad sometimes; I find some of his constant flames and provocative posts hilarious and at times, it seems bias.
 
I don't intend to take sides, but here's to question your fanatism, Mike:

How will you react if Conroe really does demolish the AM2 platform?

I have strong HOPES that it will, because AMD would have to reply with something as fast or faster and vice-versa until the end of time to stay in the competition. To escape the intel-troll label, the rig I plan on building this summer is likely to hav a 939 X2 4200+. That's if the benchies show that AM2 doesn't boost performance unless combined with ridiculously expensive dd2-800.

yes, I see that, but /if/ it beats AM2, regardless of preliminary benchmarks?

It's not like AM2 is very defendable at the moment either as the sample benchmarks of the AM2 4800+ showed no performance increase. Yes, they couldn't use ddr2-800 at the moment, but how much extra power can you get from memory that's 0.2 times faster (assuming the latencies are proportional)? I'm also aware that there was some memory bug of sorts reported with the samples. It's also important to mention that Intel has a few more months than AMD to optimize the Conroe and up the performance.

http://voodoopc.blogspot.com/2006/03/if-only-they-had-time-machine.html - This proves Intel is BS to the max and I am not the dumbass all you Intel Fanboys are calling me, must feel stupid eh?

How am I an intel fanboy? I said I was getting an AMD machine :s
Yes, I gave the Conroe some extra credit because, so far, biased bencies or not, it's making better impressions. It'll obviously only really matter once the official released products are tested by neutral sources.

Still, all I wanted to know is what you'll think /if/ you see the Conroe clearly ahead in performance in the near future?
 
Mike, thanks for keeping me entertained.

My thoughts on this whole conroe thing. The benchmarks looked too good. It seems like too big a leap in performance. We will see, when some samples start getting around to actually be tested freely.

But what did I conclude from it? Well, it kind of looks like the AMD was running on an older platform, old bios. Probably not optimized well. That speaks more to me about AM2. Because if you buy one in Q3, get a decent one, well, when AMD does roll out its next generation CPUs, you are gonna have a motherboard that works. Maybe even in the generation that follows.

I have an old socket A system, that I have upgraded the CPU I dont know how many times. I like that.

I have a prescott space heater, for those cold winter nights. I have a P4 northwood, with some screaming fast Rambus memory.

History has shown us, you have to wait until its out the door, to see what it really is going to be. Intel has good PR. But I hope they aren't blowing Conroe up to be much better than it is, because people are really tired of them lying.

I have Intel's, I have AMD's. Not a fanboy of either. I do lean towards AMD for the sole fact, they tend to keep their sockets longer. Intel needs to learn that lesson, to keep compatible socket types longer. Makes people happier.

If Intel wants to make some big points with me, then put out a replacement CPU for my prescott, that is a barn burner, and not something that sets the barn on fire.

Keep up the good fight Mike. You are keeping it entertaining for us all.

Good luck Intel, I want your Conroe to be what it is claimed, because then we are going to see big performance jumps on both sides of the fence more often. I just like the idea, of not having to change motherboards every 6 months, if I want to upgrade CPUs.

Not sure if that's an insult, but

I hardly see the "proof" with one man, however knowledgeable, saying it is "rigged." Even the BitTech review, with a "proper" FX60 still shows Conroe way ahead.
Not being an "intel Troll" here, just telling things like I see it.

Ya, you're definately being a troll since it's rigged:
