Just figured I would post and get some impressions concerning the flurry of reviews of this new CPU and motherboard that is going around?
Anyone else impressed by the fact that Intel still doesn't use an integrated memory controller and can beat the AMD X2 counterpart in some cases? It's an interesting setup I find myself wanting to try it out personally and hearing that it's overclockable to 4+ GHZ with the stock Intel HSF and should be easier than any AMD overclock possible today.
I don't know but I figured I wouldn't be excited about any Intel gear until mid or late 2006.
Ok so what does everyone think so far? Verdict?
I have to give Intel props for sticking to it and actually being semi competitive even though they were and are at a slight disadvantage (memory controller).
