My grandmother (God rest her soul), who I share my birthday with, literally owned every bad American car from the era. Gremlin, Pacer, Pinto, El Camino, you name it. Brutal. Still, you made me think of her. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Not yet, but I will in a month or two. I'm looking at building a dual Opteron 246 (or possibly dual Opteron 248, if the price ever comes down a bit). Most people probably don't need dual CPUs; however, I do video editing and the extra power for rendering would be *very* nice. Plus, I've been spoiled with my current dual-Xeon 933MHz configuration for the past 3 years... (it was awesome at the time...). Why do you ask?

He likes to tell me that with hyperthreading I really have 4 processors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Hi Fez. Im going to upgrade in the next couple weeks. Im getting a: AMD64 Socket 939 3500+ 90 nanometer(new smaller die supposed to run cooler and better overclocker) See here http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-103-494&depa=1 Getting a MSI Neo Platinum mobo(also good overclocker) See here http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-130-468&depa=1 Also a nice heatsink. Good thing about this one is the fan is larger than usual so it doesnt have to spin as fast, resulting in a quieter cooling solution. See here http://heatsinkfactory.com/cgi-bin/HFAstor...atalogno=HS-004 My last 4 upgrades have been with AMD based chips and I have absolutely nothing bad to say about them. Stable as hell and a much better bang for the buck. Especially if your into gaming. I used to be a devoted Intel guy but I thought I would give AMD a shot based on price and Ive never looked back. Like I said I plan to get this stuff in the next couple weeks so I can let you know how the 64 bit system works iif you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
