August 8, 200619 yr Those are rock bottom prices... i still reckon there is more to come with intel and Nvidia... because if the AMD/ATi merger.. *waits to see*
August 8, 200619 yr Hopefully in about a month I'll be gettin me one of those new fangled X2 things as well
August 8, 200619 yr Author More price cuts on the way tho. Some are saying they will hot rock bottom in 3 months. They need to clear the old stuff out. Vista is coming. New Mobo's. Etc Etc. I would wait but then again your fav CPU might be gone like the 1 MEG Cache 3700 San Diego for $103 SHIPPED!!!
August 9, 200619 yr Author I see it. I get more FPS with more cache. AM2 is a different story. I would always spend the money on extra MHZ than spend it on cache but then why when you can overclock. Do both. I just bought a SanDiego. $104 shipped.

August 10, 200619 yr Author The Dual core 3800 at $150 shipped 2.0mhz is not a bad deal as well. I am a single core guy till there is a reason for dual.

August 10, 200619 yr My friend enjoys playing games like BF2, HL2 and such while listening to music/radio and such. Its the bomb if you multi task. I could've used it today when I was trying to defrag one drive and move files onto another drive and such. Dual core will only help if you are running applications that know how to work in a dual core CPU setup. Most don't. I love dual core CPUs, but there's really not much of a need (Yet!) in gaming PCs. You won't get that much of a performance boost, you just get something to brag about. On the other hand, dual core does wonders for home theater PCs (especially if you do MPEG encoding) and servers. I need to get my grubby paws on a couple of these, but I am waiting for work to "toss out" some 2GB DDR2 DIMMs so I have an excuse to buy something new. I figure a nice dual core server with 16GB should run everything I need for now :flame:
August 10, 200619 yr 16gb of system ram? Yup, for 2003 Enterprise running SQL 2005, Exchange, and 4 running virtual servers. I only leave one machine on at home all day long, so I make it do everything.
