Roco Posted September 8, 2006 CID Share Posted September 8, 2006 I know that feeling well, most of my customer/friends have better systems/broadband than me, guess I should start charging more I am still running my 2.1/2 year old athlon 2.5 , but I will run it on for a while longer, then build a Vista box with all the latest bits , it just feels the wrong time to do it now,maybe the end of 2007 -2009 if vista is released by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted September 8, 2006 CID Share Posted September 8, 2006 Heck Roco, althon 2.5 ain't bad. I am on 2.2, whats wrong with that. It beats a lot of the old crap. Just change to customers with slower comps, and you will feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tommie , , trouble is my puter was the fastest , but my customer/friends (they don't pay ) have all upgraded yeah I am happy enough with the 2.5 box, and I am fast reaching the age that the Athlon is getting quicker than me , I have a backup puter with Athlon 1.7 , it dosn't feel any different to the 2.5 , but performance tests show the difference, so if I can't feel it, I ain't going to worry too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTB Posted September 8, 2006 CID Share Posted September 8, 2006 Kinda surprised you didn't go for conroe, but 2.75 on stock vcore is very nice. How far did it go with vcore increases (benchstable)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disturbed Posted September 9, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 9, 2006 Kinda surprised you didn't go for conroe, but 2.75 on stock vcore is very nice. How far did it go with vcore increases (benchstable)? i did not want to touch vcore because i want it to run as cool as possible - 2.75GHz out of a 1.8GHz processor is a damn nice speed - it benchmarks like a king....opteron all the way at least, untill I try out a conroe computer and test it against an opteron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted September 9, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 9, 2006 thats a pertty good build disturbed. any reason why you didn't go with a core duo 2? ....well, i did not consider it because this guy wants to add in a 2nd 7950 down the road, and i did not find any good motherboards that support core 2 duo and that are decent in overclocking and that support dual sli vid cards - ....thats why i decided to go with a combination that I know will work as good as it gets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nos7667 Posted September 10, 2006 CID Share Posted September 10, 2006 Lol with that video card you could probably run like 2 - 3 oblivion games maxed out and they would all be playable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
