| said by KrK  :Did you just make the switch? Impressions? Yes, about a week ago, and I think this image speaks for itself  This is with 2 x 8800GTX in SLI mode. Also, that image was with 2gb I had in there temporarily as I was waiting on 4gb to arrive. DDR2 800. I haven't haven't run 3DMark06 since I have put the 4gb in. My 4800+ with the same memory was giving me about 9500+ scores

Always was an AMD fan, but I am glad I made the switch. |

E8400 is where its at. Unless you can grab one of those $199 Q6600 from MicroCenter, or you are a video editor, dual-core Wolfdale at 4Ghz will beat quad-core Kentsfield at 3.6Ghz in any game on the market. Penryn core, clock-for-clock, is 10 percent faster than Conroe core. Plus its amazing how little power it consumes for such a fast chip.
Only problem is these damn Digital Thermal Sensors are a bit faulty. Still, I'm running 3.914 Ghz a 1.3125 VCore versus 1.225 stock. 37 away from Core throttle temp. |

AAAGGHH!!! I've got a 2.4 GHz 4800+ dual core. Was planning to go Intel for my next CPU. Didn't think I was that out of date.
To add insult to injury, my GeForce 7900 GTX 512 MB is now at the bottom of the low-end gamers cards. 2 years ago, this system rocked. Now, it is a rock.  |

Valencia, CA | And I'm on an 'old' AMD 64bit 3800 CPU (Walmart-Compaq) Vista Pro
upped to 3GB RAM and ATI video card
Runs great under Fedora core 8 64bit
Vista sucks though.
