Discussions about AMD Processors and overclocking. Need help with that new AMD CPU or not sure which one to buy? Like to void your warranty? This is the place for you! Please keep the topic on Processors only!
yeah no kidding, i was going to get venice, but after looking at the performance im getting a 4200+ yeah i know its a bit more expencive but i was looking at getting the 3700+ sandi which is only $200 less than the 4200+ if these things overclock like venice/sandi then i think its safe to say we could be looking at dual 2.7-2.9ghz and to me thats worth $500.

DAMMIT i wish i had money already... funny how life works. i'm going to be a chiropractor, so in the future, i wont really need to worry about not having enough money to build a new system or upgrade... however, right now, i'm broke.
Man, it's things like this that makes me very envious right now, considering I'm strapped for cash. I could most certainly go for that dual-core AMD any day. Now, what would really throw Intel for a loop, I think, would be if major mobo manufacturers such as DFI, Asus, and the sorts would come out with a dual socket mobo supporting the dual-core AMD line.....hmmm, gaming server anyone
YAY! My Intel friends will have yet another reason to kill me.
Some things they said:
You Athlon 64-bit bastard
You suck. You and your big, powerful Athlon and I have a crappy 478 2.6GHz in a Dell....
teeehee...
Yeah, as soon as the bills are caught up, lots of money is going in the bank. I just gotta have that dual-core. And yes, in order to use the dual-core Athlon, as far as I've seen, all you need to do is update the BIOS (going with DFI here when it comes time, hee hee ).
I'm actually quite happy with my current system (3000+@3800+ speeds)... I may upgrade to a dual core cpu sometime in the future as my current motherboard supports them, but I doubt it will be anytime before next summer at the soonest.
honestly, i dont think i'll be upgrading to a dual core for a long time.... at least not until there's a decently priced dual core that is great for gaming. i dont care too much about how fast i can multitask or do certain applications.
Well if INQ was correct its looking like there will be a X2 with 2 2.0ghz and 512kb priced around $350. IMO thats not a bad price at all to get into the dual core game.

Yeah, that's true. And I most certainly wouldn't mind dishing that little out for a dual core. However, I do hope that they won't try to ream us like they did with the post week-40 Athlon XP's and lock the multiplier. I know they didn't on the Athlon 64's, but still, that kinda has my concern up, because I definitely have plans to OC this bad boy
