First of all, Im gonna ask you to make PARAGRAPHS.
You comment is a real mess to read, I dont even want to look at it but let's go ONCE AGAIN.
First off you can not certify a board to be sli. For a board to be certified for sli it must be sent to Nvidia or approved by nvidia. Hacks are not certifications.
Ok so? I bet your windows was downloaded over torrent, or maybe games you play? whats the difference here?? That "hack" (its just a tweack of a stupid mistake nvidia made, just like CoolBits used to be.) let you put Nvidia GPU on AMD mobo, so your point was still pointless.
Problem with being a fanboy is you are a fanatic and no matter what proof you are provided you will delude yourself in thinking you are always right. You are just a Kid that has not been around long enough to see how the computer industry works or has done over many decades. You have not been around to see all the ups and downs from each manufacturer. You are not objective and will never see the truth, just what you want to see and you rant about it trying to convince everyone else you are right when many with far more knowledge have shown truth and experience. Buy what you want but stop trying to prove a point that is not correct.
Okay and the point is?? that has NOTHING to do with the subject, just cause you werent able to contradict me doesnt mean you have to get into emotional state and what more, say BULLSHIT.
It has NOTHING to do with this subject and I can ASSURE you that I know FAR enough into computing. I am into computing since the age of 3, first for gaming, But moved very fast to programming. My dad is a Database administrator, so you can understand that Computer is MY world. Next time you wanna claim something, Shut. Up and concentrate on trying to CONTRADICT my thesis.
And my post is not correct??? then explain how you STILL werent able to find a better build then the one I made for a better price?? Explain how my build sometimes perform better then a i7? You have NO explanation, only emotional rage because you fail and your getting mad over a little 17 year old pwning your @ss.
can configure a cheaper core i7 system that will outperform the best pII system you can come up with. If the am3 board supported everything the high end 17 boards did then it would be just as expensive.
WRONG. The price of Asus Crosshair III is 200 and it's the BEST am3 motherboard. If you want to be cheap, pick a super weak mobo for 250. If you wan't to have ANY chance of fighting my build (The mobo was not even used in benchmarks, it was the "hyper flooding error" one the m4something deluxe. This mobo performs even better ESPECIALLY in crossfire) your better picking a 300~350$ mobo.
I might consider a pII for a HTPC for a customer, but for pretty much everyone uses thier pc for more than just gaming or watching tv and I build the best system for their money I can.
DO you realize that THATS THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS THREAD?? that Im TALKING ABOUT PPL THAT ONLY GAME OR WATCH TV???
the first bold line of my review:
ONCE AGAIN I DO SAY THAT INTEL BEATS AMD IN PERFORMANCE SO PLEASE KEEP YOUR EGO DOWN:
So your telling me youv been arguing with me over **** for the past hours? Learn to read mister IknowthelifeofsomeoneInevermet.
OF COURSE i7 is a better CPU. NO SH!t? you don't need to be smart to realize that?
How many time did I admit this in this whole thread? I kept repeating,repeating,stressing, MORE stressing, THAT THIS WHOLE THREAD IS FOR FKIN GAMERS.
You realize how stupid you look? You basically called me a fanboy, said that I have No experience in computing while i probably have more then you, and alot of things im skipping, but you don't even know what Im talking about?? Get the fk out of this thread please your a waste of time.
You keep comparing a stock pII to a stock I7 920 and say it beats it in a few selected benchies but when you clock them the same the the i7 surpasses the pII.
NO benchmark exist comparing both overclocked, but Because none exist, lets make some math:
http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/charts/index.php?pid=69,70,76,77&tid=2
i7 from 2.66 to 3.16 was overclocked by 0.5 for a 3fps advantage. To reach the so praised 4.1mhz we need to overclock by 0.10 so 6 fps
so NORMALLY, the end result is 71 vs 65 FPS. Wow? Big deal? and I payed 300$ for that??
Of course because no benchmark exist, we had to make our own little calculus even if it isnt 100% correct, it's enoug to "compare". Plus were comparing 2 different cpu's, the 965 will generally perform better then a 920. So your little overclock crap is not worth my cash.
Then you say it does not count if it goes past 60fps.
You ever heard about Monitor refresh rate? MOST of the monitors are set to 60hz. wich is 60fps. So ANYTHING over 60 fps will not be displayed. You will only see the game at the maximum your monitor can show, wich is 60. So it's normal to say that anything over this is not worth mentioning because you won't profit from it ANYWAY. So once again, the extra cash you pay is for frames you will never see.
Again doing what you can to convince yourself you are right. I am not a poor gammer and neither are my friends or customers and verry few of them go for the pII because it is not the best performer.
OR very few of them take the time to go look on internet, get enough benchmarks and realize that 300$, thats a sh!tload of cash. And that couldv been spent on a better GPU, for a REAL better performance in what gamers only care about : GAMES.
Not everyone has the time to do that. Thats why OEM computers have been made. Prebuilt for the people to lazy to learn how to use a computer properly.
Last time AMD was on top in the cpu market was when the amd 64 was released and then the x2. The intel released the c2d and they have held the crown since.
ONCE AGAIN, where did I say just a SINGLE time that OVERALL, the phenom II 955 was a better CPU and that it held the crown??
Nowhere. Where, do, you, get, this, fake, info??
Did you read?? like just a single sentence? you just don't look like. How can you help customers if you can't even read a simple text?
Never, did I claim this. I only said that for 300$, i7 come with no bang over the phenom II FOR GAMERS AND PEOPLE THAT DON'T VIDEO ENCODE/ZIP.
Now you either write in paragraphs, forget the emotion and try to actually find something that will contradict my review, or you simply let some better people try, like dna who's holding me in a choke hold for now.
Problem with being a fanboy is you are a fanatic and no matter what proof you are provided you will delude yourself in thinking you are always right.
Yeah...maybe because you showed me NO PROOF???
Only things u wrote yourself. You call that proofs? I showed you enough benchmark to convince even the most fan intel boy inthe world. Once again, maybe he would have been mature enough to say " yes that's true but Im still going with i7 because blablablabla"
I am not forcing a build to no one here. I just want people to find and convince ME in where a i7 build would benefit me for my buck in gaming.
The intel released the c2d and they have held the crown since.
The performance crown. AMD still, and will forever hold the performance/price Crown.
funny how you can pay 300$ to get that LGA1366. then, the i9 will cost 100$ more then the Core 6 thuban from AMD, making you lose once again money if all you do is game or surf/watch movies.
Of course, whenever I feel like programing or doing some ubuntu tests, I don't hesitate in using my dad's i7 wich is faster for THIS SPECIFIC type of use.
