What processor do you run?

must have got ahold of a pre-week 39 XP, the ones that come after that week are locked on the multi, and you have to bridge the L5 and L6 (I think that's right???) connections with conductive silver paint (might have been L4 and L5, and there's another pair you have to bridge too but forgot that one, lol). Did you manage to get the 400 FSB out of it btw? I know the 2500 (or was it the 2800) was the base model for the 333 bus....the 3200 is a pretty good processor for basic office and app needs, and light gaming. Hell, it worked pretty well for streaming video from the Web too, at least for the setup I built for my buddy. decent system man

not sure but light gaming for me is BF2 and other games on me amd XP 3000+ with an 6800gt ("basic office and app needs" blah thats an insult to it

)

now got an 3800+ X2 that is runing at 2.4ghz for now (4600+ X2 speeds)

just sticking my note on here

I was talkin about the processor, hell the card is more than plenty for light gaming....so you have an X2 now? awesome, awesome processor, and at a good price too. I'm glad this stuff's coming down, though of course I think they're doing that to make way for socket M2 processors and mobo's, so they gotta clear 939 out, though it will still be popular for awhile to come.

How would your GPU do more work than your CPU? (Unless you have a GTX512MB, which can run at best 600MHz+ core and more than 1800MHz memory). I have a AMD64 3400+ 939 pin @ 2.2GHz

That was a joke but sometimes it seems like the gpu actually processes more than the cpu. No one here apparently, but I have a friend with the shittiest budget pc ever- but his graphics card is twice as expensive as his mobo and cpu together- and although his cpu might technically be faster, I'll say that his gpu is doing more processing ;p

My cpu is worth about the same as my GPU

lol, now that's bad

Actually, you know what I think is bad. Every poll I've seen on this forum has never even had 30 votes. So that means out of the nearly 1000 registered users, less than 30 of them are "regulars". So that leads me to believe that the rest are just here primarily to win free schwag

Freeloaders!

I know, right? It does seem like the same people keep talking on these posts over and over again....perhaps there needs to be some more activity by these inactives?

I like 1/30 odds of winning better than 1/1000 ;p

granted, but some want something for nothing, and it shouldn't be that way....however the odds tipped in our favor is a good thing I guess

Well I mean I do evga and xfx contests too, but I'm not a regular on their forums- I guess it just depends on the community.

yeah, seems the smaller ones appreciate and require more involvement than just a few posts......guess I'm too dedicated, lol, but I like it that way.
