New Computer
MrPresident:
Waiting on Newegg, but this is what I will have come this weekend..
NVidea 8800GT > Superclocked
Core 2 Duo 3.0Ghz
2Gigs of DDR2 Memory
250Gig SATA HD
I got a new MoBo too, but only because my current doesn't support 1333 fSB speeds that my new cpu will support.
Cant wait!!
ANyone else get anything exciting for christmas?
(btw.. I didn't get all this for XMas.. a lot of this came from my own pocket.. just used my xmas too!! :))
Megiddo:
Neato, I bet you'll love it. :)
If I were to buy a computer today I'd probably get the same, just a quad core instead of duo. :P
MrPresident:
I almost got quad.. had it on my cart and everything, but almost every review I read said pretty much the same thing
"At this time, the quad core just doesn't outperform the 3.0 Duos."
It's mainly because nothing supports that many threads simultaneousy.. and I know.. things will.. but by the time they do.. there will be better quads out there for the same/cheaper price.
^^ that is just my opinion on the issue though.. hehe ^^

I bought my core two duo when nothing supported it, and I liked it that way. If they don't support as many cores as you have, then a rogue process can't take up all your available processing power.
