PCI-X x16 and x8??

Stock clocked the same, over clocked the Intel.

Game wise the same.

basically too close to call clock for clock, once you consider an overclock, intel wins hands down.

ive got a mate who reckons his 2.2ghz phenom clocks to 3ghz on stock volts, i said "no mate, only intels do that"

 

[DaMulta]

I have over clocked plenty of them to 3Ghz that's easy. About 1 out of 4 or 5 will only hit 2.9Ghz on the stock voltage, and the rest will do it.

AMD is the better deal when your saving money and you don't overclock. 1 you get a better motherboard for your money. DDR2 is supper cheap, and there was no memory controller inside Intel 775 chips so DDR3 didn't help a ton. Which means you get to spend more on Graphics cards1L)

hahaha! i donno man the quads just dont hang in game performance.. and thats pretty much all ima use it for besides strokin it to pr0n lol maybe i could go e8500 for now then upgrade later if they start poppin off more than 2 core? hm... im just not sure what to do..

For the same way single cores did a few years ago. They are about to catch up. Everyone has been on quad madness for about a year.

It's nice to be able to rip music and stuff whle you play a game all sorts of little things like that quads help. Also you can move task to two separate cores and go do another thing unaffected.



An AMD Quad can rate up there with the best of them(close) for way cheaper of a price.

The e8500 is a very good chip to, don't get me wrong

It's PCI-E not PCI-X - I wish people would stop getting this wrong! PCI-X is a type of server port...

quad core is multitask mayhem

think of it, you could stroke it, while gaming, and rar-ing your pron for mates with lesser systems

It's PCI-E not PCI-X - I wish people would stop getting this wrong! PCI-X is a type of server port...

I was just about to mention that.

O damn what do we have in this google shopping link. Could it be PCI-X video cards...

LOL niceee, and yes thank you zero and criminal, i now know this, it was mentioned on the first page

 

[Jeff574]

i guess it would be smart to get a quad now instead of upgrading later.. the AMD x4 9950 black edition is cheap.. but intel has some good priced ones too.. bahh i gotta go tro work, when i get home ill go and look at benchmarks between them

thanks guys!
