WTF? E6850 for your girlfriend? Umm... what does she need all that power for

Ravenas · Aug 25, 2007, 07:09 AM

Well, if you want to drop 1.5k for the intel I recommend buying it, only because there isn't enough info about the phanom yet.

Live OR Die · Aug 25, 2007, 07:15 AM

I didn't say the the CPU wouldn't OC well. I simply said I don't know enough information about the processor, nor does anyone else. My reasoning for recommending the Intel was based purely on my/everyone's ignorance of the counter product thus far.

Live OR Die · Aug 25, 2007, 07:29 AM

i no i said i was think they mite not oc well on the frist lot of board released

hat · Aug 25, 2007, 08:14 AM

OK... she is using it for internet and a few games. You say she will be fine with a P4. Why give her an E6850?

Penryn.

In your situation, you already have a kick ass cpu, I would just wait to see what Penryn does.
