Opteron SPEC CPU 2000 Scores

[ReSpAwN DeMoN]

ya but I got understand where your comming from like a few weeks ago I bought a 512 stick. You remember that right? I might and I mean MIGHT get a new processor just so I can keep up a bit. But my thunderbird/geforce3 is holding up just fine. The thread in the bg "how do you know when its time" like I said in there I still have not run into a single game that I can't run maxed out.

Here's another thing to consider as well, DDR II isn't that far away either. :devil:

[ReSpAwN DeMoN]

Have any idea on if its the same form or not? Like something like a simple bios flash I'll be able to support it? Or wait I can support ddr333. But I'm saying if I had a board that supported that fast ram.

[Wiggo]

I can't see how it can as DDR II will run at much faster speeds. :?:

[ReSpAwN DeMoN]

So it'll be a totally different physical form?

[Wiggo]

Probably not so much in physical form (but not keyed the same) but chipsets will have to support it too. I believe that there has been some fast action goin' on at certain places lately which seems to support some changes in strategy though. :smokin:

Next year should prove interestin' anyway. :devil:

ya between the new athlons nv30 and the new P4's. Which is again another reason not to upgrade right away cuase yoru not sure what is gonna prove out the best.

[Wiggo]

Ok now Ace's Hardware is gettin' into the act with backup from AMD's press release, http://www.aceshardware.com/read.jsp?id=50000312 :devil:

[ReSpAwN DeMoN]

I lke the line that if it were released now it would be by FAR the fastest processor. oh man this just gets more and more exciting.

[Wiggo]

Yeah as basically these 2GHz CPU's that are about atm are obsolete now. :laugh:

Better is to come. :devil:

[ReSpAwN DeMoN]

That's sick.......oh man I can't wait to see how this goes. My personally feeling is its only gonna get better then this. I don't think the new P4's stand a chance! Hyperthreading? HA what a joke........ We have AMD's thingy (I forgot the word)

[The__tweaker]

Yes that cpu is going to rock! :thumb:
Next summer Intel will have their 3,6 ghz on the market.
This is going to be very intresting to se indeed.
