I am an avid AMD user and i have never had an Intel , but i am thinking when Nvidia finally release their Nforce 5 (SLI for Intel) is this going to change peoples minds into what the best gaming rig or best performing setup is going to be ????
Apparently this chip (NF5) has high overclocking potential (like easly hitting 300FSB obviously the mem controllers are on the Northbridge, and southdridge according to some people for the NF5), what i am thinking is that if you have say some good spec DDR2 (as i use amd i dont know much about DDR2) and a 3.46EE OCed (or the soon to come 3.7EE) and a couple of 6800 ultra/ultra extreme's (if they ever come out). This setup although i hate to say should be able to cane the FX55 sli etc etc...
I know AMD will combat this by bringing out there E stepping strained silicon chips (maybe rated at 3.0Ghz on air - who knows) and also maybe their dual core, but will this be enough to combat the "Nvidia and Intel" partnership ?????
Also i think Intel are going to be releasing their dual cores before AMD (i might be wrong, I know the opterons will be coming out first but you wont be able to use that with s939 mobos/NF4) but this will also be another hit to AMD ... wont it ????
What are your views ???
I am AMD all the way!!!!! And i hope AMD will be able to fight back with something bigger and better once again
