Quad 7900 GTX, X1900XTX, or G80 if its out...go ahead you pick...just pick the one that sounds coolest to you

Ignorance. The Conroe isn't using Intel's current architecture. I have a AMD Processor myself you have no place to make baseless guesses. The next big thing is Intel and it's around the corner AMD has nothing till 2007. They are more efficiant, faster, and run cooler, and are better overclockers. You should do some research before you post.zmatt said:ok, i dont know where tyler is getting his information. i read acticles made by the pros at extreme tech on their benchmarks every week. every test they ran AMD came out on top. the low end sempron 3400+ beat a 2.93ghz celeron (although thats not saying much) and a 2.8ghz p4 (non-hyperthread) besides the p4HT processors are the hottest running chips on the market. i installed 4 dell workstations for my uncles' guitar shop, they were all HT. within 2 weeks they ALL melted, dell came and replaced them with lower clocked non HT systems and eveything is fine, save the machines are slow.
i will put it this way tyler is a fan boy, im not if you are really in it for the best performance you dont care who makes it just as long as its the best, right now its AMD, maybe later it will be intel. it seesaws back and forth its a game of oneupsmanship and waiting for "the next big thing" isnt giong to get a computer built.
my advice is go athlon64, and ,make sure that you can upgrade easy. with technology improving every day upgradeability is most important.
zmatt said:ok, im sorry but a "baseless guess" i give you not. in truth you have no idea what conroe can do, yea you might have read about what it is supposed to do but no one really knows how it will all work out UNTIL someone gets their hands on one and bemchmarks it. until then anything about next-gen hardware and software is speculation and if your entire reason to argue is based off speculative information, then you have just lost your credibility.
and i also own an AMD and my own personal experience is that they are superoir to current intels. what will conroe do? will AM2 roxzor or suxzor? you, i, or anyone else cannot say. the only people who know hard facts about those processors are the hard woek men and women designing them.
