thats really all i do too, but i like new stuff lol.
hold on guys i got a good question i need answered. Ok, the high-end Phenoms have a 2.0GHz HyperTransport, correct? I also read somewhere that the Phenoms have 3600MHz, 2600MHz, n whatever higher speeds on like newegg for example?

what gives man?
i mean, shouldnt that 2.0GHz give it a huge boost or something? What am i missing here? The memory controller is in iimo the biggest choker to AMD's performance!
as for quads supporting games, what current games that support it? I have Hellgate: London, which is the most recent game i got.

im kinda confused by the question, but lets see if this is what you mean...
the current x2 chips have the 2ghz (1000 actual) hypertransport bus.
the phenoms have 3.6ghz (1800 actual) hypertransport bus.
i dont understand what you mean by the memory controller being the "choker"...? can you rephrase that please?
the current x2's can run at like 750-800 HT bus (or even less really) and suffer no real loss of performance. ie the availible hypertransport isn't usually fully utilized.
if you were using a VERY memory-intensive program or programs the higher HT bus on the phenoms would make a significant difference.
here, check the official specs:
AMD Phenomâ„¢ X4 Quad-Core Processors: Model Number and Feature Comparisons
the memory controller is 128-bit.
if the q6600 is cheaper, i would buy it. i would want an SLi mobo, which i cant seem to find. but then, im in a hurry at the moment.
34.8/26.9 = 1.29 ....or 30% more. In this case lower is better so that means it took the 9550 30% more time to do the same work.
...beats me how maroon got 50%.
Yea it is 30% (if you are talking about photoshop), I just did math mistake
But 30% is still a big difference
However, I was right in DivX encoding. Q6600 was 50% faster
When it comes to being only a few seconds...its not really that much of a difference. I can understand 20 or 30 seconds...but 8? Gimme a break man.
