puntoMX Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 @ Beppe,Yeah they made a way better chip then the P4 series indeed. Power usage went down from almost 100watts to less then 40. AMD has also 35watt CPUs by the way, did you see that? @ travisowensJup, the OEMs go first, and boxed versions come later for the rest of the marked. I think you will only find tray versions of it until now, still didn’t see any boxed versions pass by. How does Prozac work? Never tried it @ ripken204 I like them both too, just hated the marketing of iNTEL as always . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shindo_Hikaru Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Man take some Prozac, wait 2 weeks and you'll find them for $249 or less.Right now Intel is busy selling all their chips to the OEMs.OEM's you mean their Resellers and PC builders, oh wait, that's me.

Shindo_Hikaru Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Ripken, i agree, and i do recommend, by that time their will be more support for it in the chipset and driver market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puntoMX Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Few weeks more dude . and 4GB, must be a server, d*mn. What are you going to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beppe Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 no server.. i had the money so i thought having 4 gigs would b nice to have. and i'll b vista ready too. if its not a bunch of crap.. but will be forced too b/c of dx 10 and all. since ms claims xp cant do dx 10... i do host some HL2 dm matches sometimes with me and my friends so lots of ram is good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shindo_Hikaru Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I may have new chips and boards that are Core Duo for my ordering customers, but honestly i am going to wait another 6 months, before i build my own as i am sure more Core 2 motherobards will be compliant and/or have greater support forhte processer, by that time programs (some) will be Core 2 Due optimzed. Usually i wait 7 to 12 months, but i belive it is good. Much like waiting for SAtA 2 support became more supported. By waiting i will not have to experience much design flaws. The last reason is the slowest Core 2 Due chip will be cheaer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shindo_Hikaru Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Here is some new updates and news compaing Core 2 Duo agains Pentium 4 D 950. The results here will astound you.http://www.techspot.com/review/8-intel_core_2_duo_family/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 im so happy that intel has finally figured it out. but now computer illiterate ppl will be very scewed up. i have a 2.8ghz p4 and but this new computer says it comes with a 2.4ghz processor. why would i want that!?the point is that intel is using lower ghz and 99.9% of the ppl i know have no clue that ghz means nothing, its how much gets done per cycle.btw, dell already has the core 2 duo in some desktopshttp://www.dell.com/content/topics/topic.a...;l=en&s=gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Better to wait untill the 975 iNTEL chipsets come out, also nVidia is starting to make SLI chipsets soon for the "new" processor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
