going the amd route

[NosBoost300]

okay... so i've decided to just RMA my 680i... and in turn, i'm going to get me an AMD 4x4 system.. fx70 status.. should be able to oc it to a steady 3.0 ghz if done correctly

anyway..... ya, i need me a power house that i can buy overtime.. and amd is giving me just what i need, buy half of my cpu and the other half later.. instead of throwing out 1000 bucks for a core 2 quad at 1 time.

so i'll be returning my 680i and buying that amd recommended thermaltake armor

and when the check comes around, i'll probably buy an fx70..

anyway, this'll be a worklog overtime.. so keep in touch, i'll be updating

probably won't be done with the whole project for a good couple of months though

oh.. and i don't wanna hear k8l blah blah blah, wait, blah blah.... i'm not going to wait, a 4x4 will still manhandle ANYTHING that is here today, and tomorrow... so dont start with me

Man just get a C2D.





JOKING

Fairplay to you for sticking with good ole AMD, you might be paying more for the same performance but its still a awesome processor in its own right, ill be watching this thread

how about getting an AM2 X2 system, and then later upgrade to an Agena? (Agena will work in AM2)

don't need an x2 system... lol, already have my c2d!

and and 2 fx70's will obliterate my e6600 at only 600 dollars... ya, i know the newer structures will take out my 4x4 when i do have it.. but i'm okay with that.... it'll still be one massive system

whaaaattt!!? why are you wasting your money on more than one pc? why not just have one killer rig that beats everything?

 

[networkgeek]

eh if he has the money for multiple different spec systems that he can play with then who are we to judge. hope ya have fun with the new system

Finaly someone is doing what no one else would bother with. And what is this Agena thing someone mentioned? I haven't kept up with hardware lately since it started to develope at an extreme rate... Will it work in any AM2 system? Or would there need to be a BIOS update? Anyways, yea/....
