Lets keep this as civil as possible..
I would like to hear the pros and cons of both.. For the VERY short time my PII 940 was running with the hardware in my sig, it was incredibly fast compared to my Phenom 9950 BE Juiced to 3.2g on air (Got it to 3.3g on water with a lower VCore and was more stable)
Line processes? Cache? I'm not too sure what we need here.
My buddy and I are thinking of trying Intel.. I like my Phenom II, but he is in dire need of a new rig and was conciderign the i7.. I seem to stay in touch with the newer tech more than him, he kind of fell off.. So he comes to me for some information from time to time.. Which is actually quite humbling seeing as he taught me how to build my first rig about 2 years ago, and he asked me for video card advise not too long ago.. -Very cool..
But anyway...
How do each processors stack up against each other? As soon as I get my GB Board (In sig) back from RMA I'm going to run a torture test on it using Prime 95 with liquid cooling, in stock 3.0g form. Then I will start to gradually juice it up and run a test @ roughly 3.5g.
Let's see if we can get some good points here to what each processor can handle as far as multi tasking, efficiency and power handling, gaming and torture testing.
