6 months is too long, might as well just hold out for a BDQuote:

plus i still run ddr2, and do not want to upgrade until 4gb sticks are down to 50-70$ a stick
If I had the need and a better board with official support I would jump all over this. 1 left in stock at amazon :up:
nice chip, only 4 days to launch and some days to me :)
4GB sticks will still cost a good bit in a year I'd assume. The price is dropping, but I don't see it going to an 8gb kit for 150 for a while.Quote:

Since most programs are not multithreaded, you might not see a jump from a quad to a hexcore. I'm waiting b/c of this. On top of that, you can't just say a quad a 3.4ghz = 13.6ghz. I bet a single core 13.6ghz chip would spank a quad in many things. ;)
i expect a thuban to last 2 years, my 940 lasted almost 1.5 and the only thing bad is single threaded perf. so in those 2 years, 2GB sticks need to come down to a little over half their price (like 60% price drop), and 4gb going for a very similar price per GB, so i expect early 2012 for them to be within anyones budget.Quote:

my CB runs are right around half of what were seeing here for 4ghz hexies, so i know the increase will be substantial. plus turbo makes it easy for me to OC while still being green on my electric bill.
A thuban at 3.6 should do the job for you honestly. It'll feed any SLI / Crossfire set up (Not sure about quad honestly) you'd throw at it if you went in that direction.
I bet you'd see a $30 to $40 drop in 4 to 8 weeks.
I guess at that point, you'd have to weigh how much 4.0ghz + with a 1090T is worth to you over 3.6ghz+ with a 1055T.
im wondering if i should just get a 1035T, but given its lower watts, i dont know if it will have the volts with turbo to let the 3 cores go to ~4.2ghz. i dont need all 6 super overclocked and taking up 2x the power. so im just looking for moderate volts and decent oc, but killer turbo, cause its only the duel core optimized games im worried about needing more than 3.6ghz
just wait a month or 2 n get a 1055 when it gets a good sale & by then you will know what mobos can take htt high enough for any 24/7 oc
Here are my tracking details so far:
April 24, 2010 01:39:00 AM Memphis TN US Arrival Scan
April 23, 2010 06:25:00 PM Reno NV US Departure Scan
April 23, 2010 06:00:00 AM Reno NV US Shipment received by carrier
April 23, 2010 07:08:45 PM --- Shipment has left seller facility and is in transit
Is this a sick joke or what? :rofl:
you live in Vallejo? i have some family there. not sure why your package is in TN :ROTF:
Yeah, it's really weird since normally stuff from Amazon that ships out from Reno arrives within a day or so. Maybe I shouldn't have selected one-day shipping.
Ill be ordering one later today and it should be here on Wednesday. I just want what settings i should use to get 4.0GHz. Getting rid of my Bottleneck of a PHII X3 720 BE.
UPS' global hub is in Memphis. Everything has to go there first to get sorted.
It's being delivered by Fedex....luckily it's on vehicle for delivery
Have fun:DQuote:

I got the 1090T from Frys
I meant Fedex. UPS's isn't too far away in Louisville Kentucky though.Quote:

Wow, that's neoce! Anyone try putting an order on the 1090T yet? Is Amazon shipping? Or is this some pre-order bologna? Thanks!
My 1055T should be here Thursday. Damn its going to be hard concentrating in school.
I ordered on Friday and it hasnt processed or shipped yet.Quote:

Looking forward to you results Dumo
richierich have you got some overclocking results? You have 4.2GHz in your sig and I wanna see some CPUz screenies to see how you did it :p:
Oh, check out the other thread labeled, "[XS]Just got Phenom II x6 1055T (Retail)". I posted in there, since I felt I didn't need make a whole new thread.
