Peet... I will gladly take the points just to point out that this OP is either trolling or something cause if you read the 12 pages of hell (If you dont want to shoot yourself by page 5 let me know) you would know why we are SO ANGRY.

*EDIT*

BTW.... Its friday..... we we we so excited!

brandonwh64: no YOU are trolling. you just dont like the idea that i am buying an i5 2500k which can overclock like hell to be faster than your CPU.

you are just jealous.

i doubt if any normal person takes you seriously. as you dont look normal at all.

and to prove MY point to you, when i upgraded to i5 2500k, i will make a CPU benchmark and post it here JUST to show you that my CPU is faster
than your i7 CPU. i mean it.

stop pressuring me please.
