Is the E8400 the best processor?

[veedubfreak]

I just hope ddr3 comes down in price by the time nehalem comes out. Octocore goodness

 

[nOcLuE98]

man I wont get octo core, I dont need all that. yet

but I would love some ddr3 to drop in price, that would be wonderful

ddr3 gives u less then a 5% increase over ddr2, there is no point when it is much more then 5% price increase over ddr2.

 

[veedubfreak]

Ya, but when nehalem comes out, i'm pretty sure they wont have support for ddr2.

 

[nOcLuE98]

and ddr3 might get some more speed from nehalem as well. plus with new motherboards and all that.. ya know. unlock the speed

well..i think i wont be upgrading for a long long time.

i think im good where im at and theres no need for more.
schools getting harder and the bills keep increasing.
i just cant keep up with the upgrades.

 

[solidsteve]

well i can't wait for the nehalem chips to hit the shops now

Q6600 for me, not going to be upgrading for about 4-6 (maby 7) or untill 1 of 2 this happen, 1 is something blowing and frying my pc (happened to my last one the cpu blew and sent the mobo and ram to haven to) or 2 when the hardware is outdated to the point where it will not run basic games

 

[nOcLuE98]

well, I think I am gonna upgrade when they come out if I can sell my pc. I plan on keeping up though. But yeah, bills keep mounting, and hardware gets faster and faster.

 

[veedubfreak]

I'm going to hold out until the first round of price drops on the nehalem chips. Basically the same thing i did this time around. I got the better revision of q6600 after the price dropped the first time around. My next big purchase will either be a house (real debt) or air ride for my car All depends on if i ever get hired on full time here or just keep temping until i die.

 

[nOcLuE98]

well yeah, I dont wanna pay huge prices, but this system will last for a while i hope. And with a graphics upgrade, or two(depending on how well those 4000 series do, I might be crossfiring with this x38).
