Duno if anyone's noticed, but it's BARONMATRIX'S ONE YEAR THG FORUMZ ANNIVERSARY! (*Soz if this has already been posted, but I only just noticed + cba to read through the reams of this thread)

Well done Baron, you have spent exactly one orbit of the sun spewing crap and getting people in a huff on these forums.

And in reply to....

That's your opinion and you are entitled to it, but the key to this thread is consumer choice. You can't take mine from me.

You asked if anyone would take a different dual socket setup over QFX and I provided you with a few reasons why I'd take a Mac Pro-style setup over it. Which you are entitled to ignore, but I'd advise you not to as you're about to waste a sh*tload of money!


But that's BS. I put together my current system last year for $2000 with one socket. If I drop $2500 for two sockets, how is that not a good thing?

Oh yeah cause it's not a Core 2.

Pretty much Baron, yeah.

Yes, we're all Intel fanboys trying to coerce you into buying a very, very bad single socket system that outperforms your worse dual socket system. You got it right!

Why are you so concerned that it won't be the fastest possible system?

Because it won't be.


So that's for me to deal with. Why is it your concern? The only thing I can think is that you only want people to buy Intel while I will sell Core 2 to anyone who wants it.

Just shows you how malformed your thought process is. I could care less what someone buys, you can see my opinion on that in my last post.

If I were an Intel Fanboy then all 14 systems running in my house would be Intel. In point of fact they're not all Intel, half of them are AMD based.
 
Why is it crazy if the motherboard is a proven solution that thousands of people have used? Not crazy at all. Crazy is spending $300-$400 on a mobo for a cobbled dual socket quad core solution.

So you would buy the cheapest proven tires and rims for your $50,000 Z3?

No let me guess you'd buy a Bluapunkt system and put Radio Shack speakers on it.

That's the second most idiotic comparison I've read today. Congratulations.

No let me guess you'd buy a Bluapunkt system and put Radio Shack speakers on it.No...that's the difference between AMD and BMW. The Z3 is a sporty car that comes with all the right parts to perform like it should. The 4x4 comes with gearing for Taladega, and S(180kph)rated tires. The gearing sucks for street use(lotta clutch-slipping to get started), and the S rated tires can't handle the High-speeds of Taladega. So....blame the street, or the track(OS)...not the manufacturer.(in other words...."pass the buck").

Only in your mind my young Padawan.

No that's not what you're doing. Once again why is Dual opteron Ok? Again, Intel can thank you for me not wanting be associated with them.

You're saying that I can't buy what I want because you want me to buy something else. Where were all of you when people were posting about buying Prescott. i don't remember hearing people saying they were idiots for not going with the much faster cooler X2/FX.


Face it, you are the pawns of Intel while I just like AMDs business model and their ability to continually get me 70% upgrades.

Perhaps, leading off wih the post you did would lead me to believe you're looking for quick enrollment in PnutGallery Academy.

No offense.

Don't jump into a converssation with people you don't know if you are going to say

I am not in the mood to figure out if you're being an a-hole or just practicing your comedy routine.

It's a little bit of both.
And I'm pretty sure this is a forum...

Sort of like all of us trying to figure out if you're really a douche or just retarded.

No offense.
:lol:
 
Dont sweat Baron.

He could drive his car through your living room wall and run you over, then blame you for getting blood on his tire and tell its none of your buisness how he drives his car.
 
I think this is just getting mean spirited. If the conversation doesn't get back to hardware soon, this thread will be sent for lockage.

I'm pretty sure this should have been locked 10 pages ago :)
