1.) Oh the joy that would befall one with a 5000+ CPU. If i got one of these bad boys i would donate my currently hard working 4200+ X2 and motherboard to my friend whose computer is severely lacking. Once this 5000+ is in hand, oh the overclocking that would commence. This baby would be clocked as high as i could hit on some high end air cooling I already looked into buying a 5000+ for my next system, but maybe i'll give this a shot.
1. Buy a new motherboard and ram to go with it! I'm needing a video card upgrade again as well. I might secretly dance around, or possibly scream a little.
#1. I would dance a jig, brag to the nearest person to me, decommission my current box as a new member of my mini folding farm and of course make a new rig to oc the crap out of the sob!!
1. I'd replace my aging AMD Barton 2500Mobile at 2.5ghz. This little baby started off as a nforce 1 with a 1600XP. Capacitor flaw killed it and i replaced it with an Nforce2 and the barton. Wanted an AM2 system for a while. Not sure i like where Intel is going even if the C2D are stupidly fast.
1. I would defiantly probably upgrade my machine with this processor, with a very long divorce , i've had withheld money for a new computer for so long, i would be able to get out under from my old horse, AMD 2500+ XP with a whopping 512mb ram, un matched at that.
2. i wish i knew, its never fast enough, its never cheap enough, so does it matter, i'm never going to afford it, but Phenom seems to be popular.
1. I'd use it as my test PC at home for speedy installations of Vista and Server 2008 as my current job is in the "at risk" department due to our company being bought up by a larger fish and I need to update my skills to support my daughter and myself no matter what else happens here... Time to update that resume and MCSE from 2000 to 03/08...
1. I would build myself a new gaming rig for Crysis that I just got today. Then I would take the 2ghz Athlon X2 & parts from my current rig and build my brother a new computer because his is rather outdated and can barely run WoW. Then I would take my brothers 1.6ghz Sempron & parts and build my father a new PC because he's still rocking an old 650mhz athlon.
2. What is Phenom for $1000, Alex, I mean Kyle. (yes I realized that's not an accurate portrayal of Jeopardy, but I don't watch Jeopardy, give me a break!)
1. I will build a new system to replace my current Athlon-Tbird 750 Mhz. I use primarily to record grades and to make documents for the math classes I teach.
1. If I had the good fortune of winning the AMD Athlon X2 5000+ Black Edition CPU I would under clock it with the lowest voltage possible to save the planet when browsing the net and over clock it to its maximum stable limit when carrying out cpu intensive tasks and on the rare occasion while gaming.
2. The name of the new AMD next-generation 45nm desktop processor is "RIDGEBACK" to be released in 2008.
1. If I won I would build a new AM2 system, OC the processor as far as stablily possible, and turn my 939 system(AMD X2 3800 running at 2.8ghz) into my media box.
