well what the fuck is this then ASSFAGGIN

Assassin48 · Jun 15, 2009

i cant have 2 computers now?

wow

you should also look at my sig really look

UltimaMachinaX · Jun 15, 2009

oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh why don't you make up another one that runs at 7.1ghz with liquid helium next week then youll be SOOO much better eveyrone else, you ass

Assassin48 · Jun 15, 2009

I am sorry for going off subject OP

my vote is for 955 because of future proofing in case you want to go am3 later on in the future

sneekypeet · Jun 15, 2009

Stop it now fellas. This isnt a place to have a slap fight, pull hair, or call names. Act civil to each other or there will be more action taken. I promise

UltimaMachinaX · Jun 15, 2009

i sorry i just was talking about a cool new gpu and got told it was irrelevant it pissed me off my i'm over it i was talking about a good system to go with either the 720 to unlock the third core if your lucky before and didn't think my GPU comment was that out of line, whatev

Then i was told to read more or some shit like this guys a jesus in the flesh, im uploading pics now peace out

UltimaMachinaX · Jun 15, 2009

CHECK THESE OUT maybe he wont think I'm such and IDOT anymore, i got this on my air system.

dont go there

just let it be

OP did you get the cpu yet?

UltimaMachinaX · Jun 15, 2009

do you guys offer help or just act like pretentious assholes all the time, what ram timings should i have

Athlon2K15 · Jun 15, 2009

im just trying to help man,pointing out that your timings are high IMHO

I'm in the market for a new CPU. I want something sub $200 and able to overclock to suit my system. (See specs.) I've been debating on AMD Phenom II X2 550 or a AMD Phenom II X3 720. I use my system primarily for gaming with the occasional Photoshop. What would you guys suggest would best suit me?

Hola señor. I suggest getting the 720. I would just think that a tri core will provide slightly better performance while gaming and your usual daily usage. Just my two cents.

wth happened to this thread last night :laugh:

Anyway manofthemail78 what cpu are you getting or going to get ?.

i have read plenty you patronizing asshole and the highest lvl DRAGON Platform will beat the i7 GTX its been proven, BESIDES AMD kills I7 AMD HAS THE WORLD RECORD BENCHMARK USED WITH LIQUID HELIUM, I7 WOULD FUCKING CRACK AT THAT TEMP. INtel fanboys gotta love em, but not really, if you don;t believe me do some research that's what the internet is for besides jacking off to the the i7 sticker on you shitty ass case fuck all im OUT, you all should love me bc im the Donkey slanging OCr and these bitches are all HATERS. especially PNsmall and ASSFAGGIN69

and AMD hasn't got any of the WR's in anything but fastest quad right now intel has every 3Dmark bench there is

Anyway manofthemail78 what cpu are you getting or going to get ?.

No nothing yet. Fathers day is this weekend so Ill decide then. Also I'm depressed I missed all the fireworks with UltimaMachinaX. The flame banter must have been a riot to see realtime. Plus I wonder how much the mods had to clean up. :laugh:

To be honest I wish it was Dan that got involed instead of Sneekypete. Dan always cuts them down to size and THEN bans them :roll:

Petes to nice. He gives warnings and shit. Anyway I'm sorry my thread attracted such people. I bring out the best in people I guess.

On topic what do you think is faster? A 940BE or a 720BE. I ask because the caches are different.

Assassin48 · Jun 15, 2009

this is what i would do go here

http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=HDZ955FBBX
and use this little code SIZZLE15 for $15 off
244-15 = 229 w/free shipping

I think its a no contest now

On topic what do you think is faster? A 940BE or a 720BE. I ask because the caches are different.

Realistically, in raw performance they are about the same speeds as they share similar architectures. The 940 BE would appear faster overall due to it being clocked 200 MHz higher and the extra core which will help performance in specially optimised multi-threaded applications however in games the Phenom II 720 BE is faster. They both overclock well so I'd get the cheapest of the two.

Considering that the 720 BE supports both AM2 and AM3 it is the better of the two alternatives if you plan on keeping the processor once you move to an native AM3 motherboard.

PS also take note of the new "Phenom II X3 705e" and "Phenom II X4 900e". The e is for energy efficiency apparently.

Don't care. Member is banned, let it go unless you want to join him. Anything else that isn't on topic or doesn't follow the rules is going to result in me having to do more moderation.

What are the odds of getting a Phenom X3 from the batch of chips that are able to unlock the 4th core?

TheMailMan78 · Jun 17, 2009

Well now its between a 940 and a 720. The only thing that has be concerned is the caches. Also DDR3 is of no concern to me so please do not take this into consideration.

Well, now the only question is that of price, since you're still not going to see much more of a advantage with 4-cores than you are with 3, unless you're doing tons of video transcoding or something.

Well some games are going to be multi-threaded. The tech5 engine for example. Also I use this PC for heavy Photoshop and Illustrator work.
