Asian Dub Foundation said:imo AMD can give a rats ass about the enthusiats (same goes for intel too)... the big money is in OEM and servers... so AMD could care less if most of the enthusiats switch sides. they do care however, if big corps start buying xeons servers again

wee96 said:This is absolutely correct, AMD isnt worried about losing phanboye's its more interested in losing buisness workstation/server massive purchases.
Hyphocrisy rules that all I can say.Ockie said:I'm going to find the next few months really interesting... people who bailed from intel to amd to bash intel the past few years... and now they are gong to bash amd
This is why I don't bash neither, the tables turn quickly.. it's the nature of the market.

They'll do fine with that for another 2 years as well. I'll upgrade to whoever has the best performance/watt at that time.
Alexzander said:As impressive as that other company cpu looks...I can't see myself jumping ship just yet. I have never purchase an intel cpu (For ALOT of Reasons), and my Opty 165 @ 2.65 is providing me with a lot of love. I would buy a 7950 GTX video card to replace my sli 6800 GS before jumping to that other company...lol With that said, hopefully AMD don't let me down in the future, when I'm ready to upgrade again...lol
lol, yeah if I a single core cpu I would be upgrading too especially if you enjoy multitasking like myself. Multitasking isnt a problem with my Dual core OPTY 165 @ 2.65.. my video game playing could use a boost, thats why I would buy the 7900 GTX Video Card before switch to that other company...lolDonnie27 said:I'm happy with my 3500+ gaming performance but NOT with its multi-media performance or how it sucks at multi-tasking. It will become the wife's computer and Conroe E6600 will become mine some time next month.
YES!! It's called "Core 2 Duo" for reason...lol Just messing with youboomheadshot45 said:^ yeah i'm happy with my 3000 + for gaming but with multiple apps going like 4 internet pages, and photoshop cs2 open, it goes pretty slow. I'm building a new rig when conroe comes out. Whats really wierd is that i've always been an nvidi fan and an amd fan but i'm switching over to intel conroe E6600, and switching over to an ati x1900xt. Very Very dumb question, i think it does but is the E6600 dual core? Please don't flame me, i think it is but i just wanna make sure
dr_dirtnap said:Wait until Conroe comes out. Period.

AMD Man 129 said:Stand strong with AMD.
Intel is the darkside.
AMD's prices are so low and the processors are way better
Right On!! That's What I told someone earlier..lolnilepez said:If I had a recent Amd chip on a 939 platform, there's no way I'd jump to intel. Even if intel is the fastest kid on the block, you have to weigh in the price of a new MB, new memory and probably a new heatsink/fan (ok that parts cheap).
Someone said something about their single core chip not multi-tasking well. That's a fair statement, but is it really worth spending 200-300 on a chip, 150-200 on a MB and another 150+ on memory, when for 170 you could drop an x2 3800 in or for 240 an x2 4200?
If I had a socket A or an older Intel chip, I suspect I'd go with Intel (need to see Price/performance as well as performance/watt ratios after Conroe is released to be certain), but I can't imagine the cheapest conroe chip (180 bucks give or take) is going to run 3x faster than an x2 3800, and once you factor in a new MB, RAM and so on, the conroe costs 3x as much as a CPU upgrade.
Of course if you're buying a top of the line CPU, then money is no object, then Conroe is probably the way to go (not sure if I've seen comparisons between it and the FX line....they're too rich for my blood).
