When will the incredible price on DDR3 ram drop? I'm gonna get myself a new motherboard that supports it, also getting a penryn when they come out in nov/dec, and when will 2gb cost less than $400?
I will probably be upgrading when the penryn quads come out and if they are any good than i will get that instead but if they want 500 bucks for them then they can kiss my cheap arse and im getting a core 2 duo quad.Master_Kev
Meh, I just read an article in the newspaper about the Penryn, and it's gonna kick Core 2's ***. I'm going to have to save my moneyz and $130 Fry's gift card for that. :P
[QUOTE="LouieV13"]drop the sound card lol (unless you have surround sound and stuff) and get a HD 2900XT if you can afford it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161091LouieV13
D00d, srsly, stop trying to push ATI cards on people. Just because your a fanboy doesn't mean that everyone should have an ATI card. Nvidia is more apealing to the consumer lately because they're doing stuff right, unlike AMD/ATI, which is failing in comparison to the Core 2 and G80 series.
First of all im not a ATi fanboy the HD's are the first ATi cards that I have gotten and second how the hell can you compare a AMD X2 to a C2D even tho the 6000+ performs as well as a E6600 when its older than it. The Phenoms are meant to battle with the C2D's not the X2's and just cause the 8800GTS is more "popular with teh kidz" doesnt mean its better. The HD 2900XT performs better then the 8800GTS with the new drivers.
An 8800gts for $230 which is how much I paid for a new one is definetly more bang for the buck than an HD2900XT. I know that the 2900 is better than it. The Phenom may be meant to battle with C2D's, but I believe there is some failure in AMD's future if the Phenom can't compete with the Penryn, which will be followed shortly by Bearlake with 22.5nm. 'Nuff said.
