corrected link there ya go!
Thanks... I was working on it. ;)Quote:
sure, np.:p That is an insane amount of money to drop on a chip. Any news on if they will release lower speed version of this chip at a bit lower of a price?
I can't back this up, but I thought when they showed it at IDF that they showed differant models not just the 3.2GHz. But I doubt in all certainty that they don't drop the price much in any form of timely manner.
So??? :pQuote:
EE shipping soon....
I'd rather have another computer.

yea, you can build a 2500/9800 rig for that much, and you can easily get 20k as opposed to, what, 22-23k with that $1000 chip without amazing cooling and radeon v-mods.
One SharkyExtreme Value gaming system or just one chip????
I will go for the whole computer.
I will be going for the chip :D I'll let you know how it works out
you can't be serious?! you're gonna drop 1k on that beast?:eek: :eek:Quote:

He's dead serious :) Be kinda funny if a 3.4 Prescott manages to outperform it, then he'll go for that or something :)
Oh by no means was I saying YAY. I was just pointing that they were coming out soon. I won't get one and don't want one. But hey at least the paper launch wasn't too terribly early. On the money issue, Oh helllll nooo. Look at my sig, I built this rig for less than that one CPU cost.
This is kind of a none event as far as I am concerned. Intel might be pulling another 1ghz PIII. They came up with a few chips that worked but they could not deliver otherwise. It remains to be seen if they can deliver the EE in quanity. And at 1000USD, who would be stupid enough to spend that kind of money on what is essentially a highly tweaked version of a chip that is at the end of it's rope. Just wait until their next generation chips are out in the next few months.
