tommie gorman Posted November 12, 2006 CID Share Posted November 12, 2006 quad will be with us till the end of the year, then intel will release there 6 core processor. they cant get too far ahead gotta keep amd just close enough. its not really 6months anymore, its more like 3 months now. But they have been out and getting talked about for the first 3 months. So your 3 months + my 3 months means 6 months. I may not be real techy, but I can add. Scrap that, I woke up and now am thinking about an Opteron. Amazing how these guys can be so convincing. But really a good place to find things out. What a great bunch of guys. OK, yeah, even shug.

Buntz Posted November 13, 2006 CID Share Posted November 13, 2006 Your right the Opteron is a better buy. but my little 4400+ does not do to bad for $235.00[ will see what my 4400+ can realty do when I watercool it soon] Right now it stable and only runs 50c when gaming.

supersteven Posted November 13, 2006 Author CID Share Posted November 13, 2006 I was looking at a 170. I figure, hell it's cheap, it'll probably OC a little, and knowing me I'm just gonna throw those mobo and cpu in something else once quad core comes out.
