None of you may like or agree w/me, but guess what? I don't care b/c I HAVE $1200 to spend so Fsck it I'm happy. Complain b/c it's someone else's fault - I'm betting it's mostly your own lack of saving & discipline that's the problem. WHO doesn't have $1200? If you don't you haven't EARNED the right to complain. It's YOUR fault you don't have enough for a paltry $1200 machine. This is just sophomoric nonsense.ġ) GET A BETTER JOB (education/certs etc)Ģ) Stop spending money on other hobbies and misc junkģ) STFU already and improve your financial situation, THEN you have a say. Nobody with sense is talking about going from a Q6600/9xxx to 2 year behind the pack Phenom. Just get the Phenom-II if you cannot afford the i7. when you buy into INTEL you're buying into a PROVEN ROADMAP OF PERFORMANCE VS AMD: you're buying into a mystery grab-bag of performance PROMISES. I'm glad AMD is "sort of" showing a rally to CATCH UP. Prices steadily go DOWN, thus folks with 775 can still upgrade to 6700, 6800 and so forth. You're comparing a 2yr old Q6600 against AMD's newest unit LOL? That's like a car magazine comparing the newest lambo to a 2 year old Ferrari etc. Just b/c YOU cannot afford it doesn't mean there's something "wrong" with i7. It's YOUR own fault you cannot afford a damn $1100-1400 computer: that's NOT a lot. Get a real job and stop spending money on other nonsense and SAVE up like smart people do. NO = If you currently have an AMD and need some extra horse-power.īut to falsely rationalize your purchase/mindset by suddenly putting the i7 into the "it's SO expensive" BS category you're BROKE, you have no say about price. YES = If you're doing video/AV editing and plan on getting an i7/i5 or if you’re not broke! Stop all the nit-picking and bemoaning over Intel.ĭoes it make sense to scrap your current AMD rig for a completely new Intel unit? And as prices drop Phenom-II is losing even more ground as someone with an intel 775 can spring for a fast Quad-core, while you're stuck with the SAME OLD MOBO and RAM DERRRRR? But you forget that your old, slow ass mobo chipset and antiquated ram wouldn't even come close of a newer Intel system period.Ī Brand NEW Phenom-II would "compete," but it barely does that.
Phenom-II is for people that already have an old AM2 rig and want to upgrade. It's all little programs with numbers telling you there's a difference. v12v12 - Thursday, Jlink All this bickering and nick picking-when to me the solution seems simple.Īll the poor folks clamoring about numbers they COULD NOT EVER POSSIBLY tell the difference if using Intel Vs AMD in a dboule-blind test! None of you can tell the measurable diffs in FPS and temp.Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit (for SYSMark)
