Celron300 oc 500.that was personal involment progress,much better than buying pentium 90'and running them at 100 :)
For bespoke systems:
rather than rant on
My 3 systems mentioned below:
There isnt a whole lot to choose between them when you factor in overclocking and thats over a timespan of 7 years.
Dont get me wrong.
pc's prior to this did have things that cant be compensated for now.
isa ,ega ,cga,agp,pci,eide, and so on.
In 7 years tho the only real breakthru ive noticed is ssd for practical purposes.
sata3,meh,usb 3 meh,pcie 3 :)
Having bought a new 520w psu for my middle system and tuned it like it was the max cpu and mbrd combo available,there isnt a whole lot of diff compared to a very mild tune on my p67.
The IB stuff,even tho there is a performance difference at the same clock speeds,cant apparently take the same overclocks as sb processors.
Something to do with thermal paste instead of solder on the cpu caps apparently..dunno.
Even x58 systems they were going back to dual channel as not being a lot different to triple channel.
quad channel..what will the usage be.
Point is there is no real advancement that I can detect in 6 or 7 years ,if you have the ability to overclock.
Its like the sellers have built in the overclock factor as a markrting tool,there is no longer an "undiscovered country"
My 3 systems..running all of them on win 7 with a single 460gtx gx card ,I think I could could tune them like 75%/90%/100% with the best components I have in each .
(Nothing in any of them has failed , even with clocking and they arent really all that different once you get past the marketing biumpf.
Course sellers dont want to know about older tech still being relevant.
p4 or e pentiums I dont mention at all,even tho they were in between the d and core 2 processors.
Its more the interfaces.eisa and alland gx..(my original 386 sx system wouldnt stand up too well for example :) )..
Maybe 2011 architecture will render older stuff obsolete quickly,doesnt seem likely unless software takes off.
nb amd/ami I havent really considered as I never had much joy with those.
