Nice, you must have got yours from Tiger direct too, guess us Minnesotans are on the ball.

Indeed I did—and I forgot you're from MN too. Duluth is my favorite place in the world, by the way. At any rate, all these non-Minnesotans just can't hang with us. Have you tried overclocking it yet?

No OC yet, tried running 3d06, but my bios shows it as an unknown processor even though it lists it as a 1055t still. And I have run benches on other chips like that without a problem, but not with this, 3d06 was at like 10fps instantly at 1280x1024. Got to head to college now, so will update the bios tonight.

and you fail to read my posts i havent DENIED i7 is better at all genius..... jesus all im saying is

i7 930 is $300 x58 board is $220 triple channel ddr3 1600 is $150
add that up $670
1055T $200 790x 110 DDR3 1600 $110 $420 so you expect me to pay an extra $250 when i could i dont know use that extra 250 saved buy ANOTHER 5850 and then have crossfire 5850s where im sorry in terms of gaming your i7 will lose at the same price point


i7 is top dog in performance period thats the way it works

but in terms of price to performance it dosent deliever for 99% of the users out there as i said we make up 1% of the global market for this stuff

from the same review you post oh whats this??? an athlon II x4 and core 2 duo are omg rivaling an i7 OMG NO WAY

not trying to knock you marvelous if i HAD the money id have i7 but i dont and i wanted game performance today not promises and wishfull thinking tomorrow i dont encode i dont do anything of that nature where i7 will benefit me i only needed a quad for rendering in Maya and at the time i build my rig the i7 being 70% more expensive just didnt appeal to me then by the time i upgrade again it will be the next generation of cpus thuban offers me a drop in upgrade if i need it I7 welll there gonna jump sockets again... and theres rumors bulldozer will be AM3+ with some backwards compatible to AM3. If you have the cash to keep up i salute you i dont and because of that AMD gets my money. They offer me what i need at what i can afford and theres nothing intel has in my price bracket to rival it

i remember paying $150 for my 940be 120 for my mobo and 100 for 8 gigs ram at the time an i7 was 300+ x58 boards were $275+ and triple channel ddr3 was 300+ im sure you can see why i made the choice i did its all relative really i know some people that refuse to buy ATi gpus others that refuse to buy Nvidia same goes for CPUs or oem brands etc etc everyones perception is different i care about price to performance period no iffs ands or buts about it

very well said mate!

Bottomline, if you have a truck-load of money or if you just ask your rich-ass parents for money then get yourself an i7 system. If you're like me who sometimes need to shed blood, sweat, and tears just to earn money then stick with Phenom II's.

At the end of the day, it's all about about price to performance.
