there will be versions of the 2.4C + with 1MB of level 2 cache.Quote:

I am stupid enough. Actually I don't consider myself stupid at all. I work hard and spend my money how I choose according to my budget. My buying this chip is no different than somebody who spends $300 on a bottle of champane. Furthermore, I still remember the days when a Pentium chip was like $2000. Rather than call somebody stupid for their choice of hardware, why don't you focus on your own machine.Quote:

I agree with you Ranger....Quote:

People who think it is stupid are people who cannot afford a $1000 chip :)
Its like people who buy a $40 AMD chip and get a heatsink and fan combo which cost more then the processor! Or people who spend $3000 is just cooling their setup with all Prommies...
Its all about what will make one happy... I have said it before and I'll say it again. The P4EE is a sweet chip :) And no its not a paper launch as some AMD fanatics would like to think.. Since I was able to order a complete setup with a 3.2EE about 2 months ago now :)
I am pondering a 3.2EE as well, instead of a Prescott...
Thanks for the support Colossus :D I get a little tired of hearing people slam other people because they spent more money on their rig than the next guy. Anyway, I hope you get the EE too. Then we can be the double threat on Sharky's :D :D
Really i am just buying this chip to make Mikey mad. He wants so bad for the AMD crowd to take the title back and I just can't let that happen. I have a lot of responsibility you know :eek:
BTW it's nice to see you posting a little here and there again
hmm, maybe I should drop the money on a quad opteron system, I bet that would be a beast. :p
Well since it's your money and you worked for it, it's your choice
pfff... I have no problem with spending money on nice things if you have it. I would deffinatly get a quad opteron system if I didn't have to pay for school.Quote:

A quad setup is cool, but the standard Opteron only handles 2 processors.. You need the more expensive Opteron (about $1300 a pop) for anything over 2 processors :)Quote:

So a total of $5200 (1.8Ghz model only) in processors alone :D Not to mention another $1000+ for the board :)
But it does sound sweet :D
I'll third that. I work hard for my money and I budget appropriately for what I can spend on my computer / other hobbies. It can be a bit demoralising to be "preyed upon" for spending that bit extra (or alot extra :p ) on more "advanced" / faster hardware.Quote:

As for the P4 3.2EE, it's a fast chip and all, but I'll stick with my FX-51.
Quad Opterons - That'd be fun. Out of interest does anyone here run any software that could take advantage of 4+ processors, not including software you use at work / school / university?
Edit: Found this http://www.savastore.com/products/pr...10271842&pid=1
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that a 4-8 way 2.0Ghz Opteron?
I absolutely concur with ranger here and Colossus used one of my favorite phrases Its all about what will make one happy.
Hell yea! I for one would be excited to see more Sharky members over 23, 24k (we can be xtreme too ;)). If I had the money, I'd get both an EE and a FX ;), but since I don't have that kinda money, I'll stick to what I can get. Either way I'm happy (never satisfied though).
I still say wait to see how Prescott turns out before plunking down the money for the EE. That would suck if you could pay 400 for a Prescott that does just as well as the EE (theoretically speaking).
[edit] Offtopic -- Coll, why'd you take off your score on the 3dmark team?
Seems like a lot, but then my first hard drive was $1000 and it was 10Mb (right Mb). :)
It would make me happy if you get the EE's, cuz then i don't have to worry about you guys and taking over the AMD side of the 3dmark team.;)
Yes it's a bit off topic ,im sorry.
What does a paper launch mean ? I still don't understand cause nobody explained it 2 meh.
And yes, how you choose to spend your own money is your choice. :)
Intel should stop making chips for ya rich bastards and start thinking of normal peaple who would not buy a 1000 chip.. (Even if they had the money to do so) I would gladly buy a 2.4c one for like 200 bucks no problem but a 1g on chip is just plain retarded.
