Have you seen "TTZX" posting somewhere else? If not, then I suspect that he is a fake user.

Hey amd fanboys calm down, you guys are wound so tight. I don't know maybe it's because these days Intel is mopping the floor with amd. Anyways, I AM new. I registered a few days ago because I wanted info regarding the ABIT IS7 boards. At least unlike you guys I don't go around highjacking threads.

since when did the performance of current cpus come into question...i thought we were talking about a plan for the <b>future</b>...if you are looking for a flame war go to another website...there have been far too many here...

There is no smell better than fried silicon

You said it.

They have 2.4c overclocked at 3.7 air cooled.

This I know, but I'm wondering just how high the smaller process chips will be able to go... I mean if the core itself is designed to hit 4.5Ghz+, but the Socket 478 Platform stops at 3.6Ghz... Just think it might end up being a bit of a nice cheap overclockers dream when the newer platforms emerge, so the 'old' Springdale/canterwood boards are cheap...

$hit Happens. I just wish it would happen to someone else for a change.

There's not much point buying anything really (other than for fun!) until you find new DirectX9 games that you desperately want to play. Even then a moderate video card upgrade would be enough.

In the long term, I would seriously recommend waiting until Intel release their PCI-Express technology next year. Maybe by the beginning of 2005 enough PCI-Express enabled boards and components will be around to make it woth upgrading. Till then I'd just save your $$$.

Abit IS7 for $109 at New Egg that was cheap enough for me. Until I upgrade to Grantsdale and whatever CPU.

I agree for the time being. I dont think my 1.8 is that slow or my P4S533 that bad of a board or my ti44 that outdated a card. I am confident it will play HL2 so there is no reason to buy a cheap upgrade now. I've always had the mentality that you can't save money by spending it. As long as I am good I will hunker down and wait for something new like this PCI-Express or DDR2 and hopefully till that is at a reasonable price and tweaked to perfection.
