I was going to get a 165, until the rational side of my brain protested the $460 price tag. :slapass:

I think Gray n Ugly said he was going to get one.

i think the 165 is a bit on the pricey side BUT that depends how it OCs....the other models are on part with 2x1M cache X2 CPUs......so shouldn't stop people who were thinking of going X2 in either 4400+ and 4800+

Is there any real-world improvement to having the extra cache with dual core? I know there's practically none with single core.

extra cache is the next speed bump......i.e. 200MHz so that's what the difference is........ 2.6GHz 2x1MB cache is the same as 2.8GHz 2x215K cache

I understand AMD's speed classification. But it has been proven by several sources (i've seen) that the extra cache isn't nearly as significant as a 200mhz boost. I'm just wondering if it's the same with dual core.

Its a high unlike any other. Suddenly it was like I didn't need any sleep last week. :D Turned into an OC zombie mumbling " uhrnnnn ... must have more speed ... urhnnn".

Thank goodness I'm through with my initial testing. I can get some sleep again. Next week when I get on the Prommie, I'll have to stock on this stuff. :toast:

Okay I'll add my mine to the others. They suck. Stay away from these CPUs. Can't even get to 3.2ghz on water! ;)

The egg has eyes everywhere and I'm sure they're licking their proverbial chops at the prospect of listing the low end ones at $180.

How about if everybody that has one suddenly posts that they suck and don't oc anymore.

P :D lease?

I don't think it'll be that bad
a 144 here in Australia is about us$175 which is a few dollars more than a venice 3000

I really feel sorry for him. His inbox must have a jillion request for them.

It has a nasty side effect though. People have reported pony tails sprouting from the back of their heads.

The Steven Seagal drinks? :confused: ;)

I wonder if AMD will actually run production up on these CPUs to meet demand and if there will be a sudden drop off in the quality of the CPUs. If the retail channel can't meet demand supplies may be sproradic for a while.

I just want to know if I should delay buying a 3000+ venice to wait for these to come out big.
