The only reason people are getting the 6 core now is because it's the best AMD has and might be phased out using this Phenom 2 tech. get it while you can is the word on the street. It's not that it's blazing faster than the 4 core but it's just the fastest in general in the AMD camp of desirable...
Nothing. Most typical college students search the web for information for reports or work with word or excel, all of which can be done with a p4.
If you are a student that works with music cutting tracks or a video editor then more cores will give you better times.
Deads are still doing your glutes, hams, and quads like squats. When I do deadlifts I feel more overall muscles being used vs the squat but not by too much. Both are the best exercises you can do. Old saying goes if you could only choose one exercise to do if you were wise it would be the squat...
Did you notice steam forums are down? They went down before it released and have been down since.
Do you think they went down because they don't want people writing terrible stuff about the game and ward off possible buyers? I got a hunch they did.
This game is for the new kids who just started gaming. it's not for seasoned players with years gaming experience with cod. There will be many kids who get this for xmas and it will be their first war fps game. Me though, I've turned my cheek the other way and I'm still hunting for a game I can...
It blows my mind why they don't have voip. VOIP was so cool in Bf2 the players wanted more. Players wanted to be able to get into a vehicle and have a separate button to talk to only the people in that vehicle. But instead of further developing that aspect they deleted it all.
I believe it's usually kids between 13 to 18 of age. There are probably a good amount of silly kids down loading for free and getting caught right off the bat. The ones that last a little longer are from the sites for a fee and they probably take paypay for the under age kids.
I don't think...

"MIAMI Federal authorities are concerned about new research showing U.S. prisons are vulnerable to computer hackers, who could remotely open cell doors to aid jailbreaks."
Hi there. So as...
Some people have an addiction to buying computer parts. It's the same as women always needing new clothes. What can ya do you know? nothing but let them bicker.
Do you think the name "Bulldozer " has mislead people into thinking that it should be able to push other cpu chips to the wayside? Like them big yeller bulldozers pushing dirt and all dat dare stuff.
I have a Gigabyte M61P-S3 system board which is a AM2 with DDR2 mem and with bios updates it has let me use a 95watt phenom II 945 x 4. Unbelievable. I bought it in 2007 and it's fast.
edit - Not sure why I posted this here. I just woke up. *rubs eyes.
You wait for bulldozer for what seems like ever, now you wait for the next iteration of bulldozer the day of launch.
It's not pleasurable waiting and waiting and waiting. And to solve this and take a monkey off my back I'm just writing off Am3+. And will just use my 945 x 4 awhile longer...
I finally put my kill o watt meter on my pc now since I am serious about a new card now. I even had the modem plugged in it so I could play MW2 online to see the wattage under load.
It was pulling about 206-212 watts. It looks like I have plenty of room for an upgrade. It won't hurt to try I...
Sorry it's an Antec True 430watt

I don't see one with this package. It's $20 off now too.
Hi Guys.
Do you think I will be able to run this card with a 430watt true power p/s?
I don't even use a cd rom or dvd player.
Thanks! Looking to upgrade from a 9600gt
My choices are between the 6850 and 6870. I noticed the 6850 only needs one 6 pin while the 6870 need 2. I have...
9800pro I bought at best buy for $350. Now I look back and can't believe I spent that much on a VC. I only spent 120 on each of my cards after the 9800, 7900gs and a 9600gt(actually newegg special 59.)
I think I enjoyed my video cards some years back more than I do now.
There are some people who don't care if Intel is pulling ahead with new models as amd is about to release late. On my desktop will be only AMD. I can't tell you why either it's just the way it is. So the wait is perfectly fine for me since i would wait forever anyways.
Rock on:biggrin:
You should accidentally jam a screwdriver in it and short it all out. Then tell them they have to give you money for a new system if they ever want to see the internet again.
Tell them like 500 and build a system for 400 and pocket the rest for beer or food for yourself.
Then build them a...
After reading though this is astonishing the amount of all of us want to save this pile of dirty dusty junk.
Upgrade the whole system. I am sure you want to hear that anyways. Everyone likes a new computer. Tell them to save the pictures and stuff on a disk them throw that thing out the...
What you could do is buy a new hard drive. Stick it in this thing and format windows 7 on it. Download the driver for the mb and all that jazz.
Then after it's all loaded up plug in their old drive and let them access the files through the new drive and operating system and move over what...
I know. I didn't word it right. What I first said was faster cpu's won't do anything for general usage as the OP at this point in the history of CPU's - EVEN though faster cpu's come out they are all considered slower for things like gaming in a short time.
Because cpu's have reached the point of diminishing returns for things like surfing and movies.
And what's new and fast now is always slow 2 years later of course.
