i dont smoke waste of money but thats an argument for another time, so lets say you dont smoke thats one less thing to pay for

go to the weatherspoons where booze is cheapo, i know for a fact there are weatherspoons all over the UK my nearest is Sir John Sterling Maxwells well cheaper than the local pub The Arden Bar

if you buy booze in supermarkets its cheap

i feel bad for those that go to clubs tho they charge over the odds for drinks even ordinary stuff like non alcoholic soft drinks

asda and tesco supermarkets do frigging deals shop around

what a waste of time rant

either way we get raped for hardware and electronics

the jobs pay well but it ends up balancing out with higher prices not due to tax just due to greedy companies, like BP who charge over the odds for petrol


you guys get paid less but stuff is cheaper, im assuming this fact tho

up to 25% at the same clocks at core 2.

---

good to know cause the price is also about %25 percent higher.

if anyone has a problem with x58/bloomfield just wait for p55/lynnfield. it will be alot cheaper but is only dual core though.

2.66ghz and its 25% faster rght but youcan get core 2 that cloc kto over 4ghz

all depends on how the i7 overclocks
plus DDR2 is cheapo

in the long run id wait a few months keep your cash save up some more and get i7 next year

you not read up on i7? all of them have been getting over 4.2ghz

ooooo....

the jobs pay well...

I'm glad yours does, but for me I'm earning the lowest you can possibly earn for a skilled job. I'm an IT Technician and I get paid minimum wage. However, I'm up for promotion apparently! W00T!

It's a work machine only for the most part, and Intel boards are solid.......

Waiting for the approval of the boss man before I charge it all......

I was going to buy a Seagate 1TB HDD or 1.5TB until I came across all the bad reviews over at newegg,.....high failure rate. The 750GB HDD seem fine I have two of those but I would probably go WD for a 1TB HDD.

Why only two sticks of ram? i thought i7 was triple channel.

3 sets of 2.... look again.

it would be better to get a 3x2gb kit for $219.

Remember folks, you need an aftermarket cooler for stock speeds and water cooling to do any OCing LOL.

100 C at 3.8 on water and 70 C stock. Ouch.

---

lol lol lol lol lol lol.. stock cooler keeps the cpu in 70-75*C in 100% full load and that is just fine. a friend of mine overclocked his 920 to 3.3ghz, w/o changing the vcore and its stable with the stock cooler at the same temps - 70-75*C.

920/940 easly goes to 4.0-4.3 on AIR, look at xtremesystems forums, pplz are clocking this monster as crazy, yeah the temps are high - 80-85*C at 100% full load but that dont bother the cpu at all. also check this out - http://www.techamok.com/?pid=5363 :toast:

So, we need to spend thousands of dollars for some pieces of silicon/plastic, and then use it to create some Illusions.

Doh:banghead:
