It's not about that at this time of year, it's all about supply and demand which is why the socket 939 chips are so highly priced, take the FX 60 for example, it's nearly always priced above the faster FX 62.
It's all about demand and AMD simply can't keep up with it since Dell signing up to...
Yeah this was not a complete launch at all, it was only a launch for a couple of outrageously priced pc builders.I could build three for the price some of them are charging.
I am so, so desperate to get my Quadfather built too.
I think it is going to be one hell of a unique system once I...
Does anyone have any clue, where I can get these parts before january.I have the cash now for the board and a processor, so I am looking to buy right away.
IF anyone can sell me them or has access to buying them can you let me know.
Thanks
Rich
LOL!!:D
Yeah you are right 100 percent, I am so sorry guys, I never knew the cpu budget was as high.In that case, definetly go for Intel.
However.I can get pretty decent overclocking results from a 4200+ for the technology.I have had it go as high as 3.2GHz, which I reckon is pretty damn...
The 4600 x 2 windsor is an excellent overclocker, you will not be dissapointed.Make sure you havea decent cooler if you are overclocking.For air overclocking I reccomend the Zalamn 9500AM2, and obviously for that extra mileage,water cooling.
They are definelty not and will not be because as it's already been said, the latencies are far too high with pci express for the Xfi cards.
There is a problem with Xfi and N force 4.
I would go for an AMD processor, but that is me.I would go for either a 4200+x2 or a 4600+x2, both are great overclockers.
If you want to go down the Intel route, I would get a 6400 or a 6600 conroe.
Both the companies processor's are superb and will serve you well for a few years...
Don't worry about it as everyone says.I was installing an upgrade about a couple of months ago, and I bent a whole row of pins.Thanks god for a razor blade in one of the office toilets,hehe.
Nobody is denying you have a point Donnie, but saying the Quad Fx is not a powerful computer that is not worth anyone building one is just nonsense.
Fair enough, if you like Intel, and wish to build a kentsfield, it's your perogative, and I have no doubt I will have an intel computer built by...
By the time most of the parts are available, there should be some hard info on the other processors, I expect AMD to really post a glut of info after the release of the r600.I just get a feeling they are holding back until they have all their eggs in one basket to show.
Sometimes if you disable cool n quiet in the bios, this happens.I have no idea why, but it sometimes does.Normal Cpu usage is around, 0 to 7 percent and should flucuate.
Download something like the startup control panel and then disable all the items that are non essential to you one by one...
Yeah it does a bit but we always have barcelona to look forward too, and that should overclock well.And although we will have HT3 by then, this system should fly along nicely with ht1 and barcelona/agena.
I hate to disagree with you, but I certainly would not build myself a quad cpu enabled kentsfield without future proofing myself with a nice big 1000watt power supply in case I wanted to run two dx10 cards and a couple of drives, and wanted to overclock the beast too.
I do agree with you that...
Yeah I can't wait to have my Quad Fx up and running, though I would never buy off ebay, I would want to build the system myself, so I know everything is ok and up to the standard's I have.
Went back for the last day of that special conference to see the baby up and running again.It really is...
