Even worse :D
An OCed 2140 Duo is prolly like 5 times faster than a single core Pentium 4 ^^

Depends on heat dump and electricity costs. Obviously phase gives you more head room but I don't know how many people run 24/7.Quote:

wait and see on the 1.5TB drives.
I have 4 quads should i sell one to buy an i7?
Well, I do, and have been doing so for almost a year now. Zero issues, but the condenser fan's noise characteristics and high elec cost (NL11F eats 300W) are getting to me lately. So I think I'm gonna go for a chiller next :up:Quote:

What BCLK do you think the next i7 stepping will reach? :)
Current max seems to be around 220...
Dang you posted while I wrote this, someone just answer both questions then :p:
next i7 will get to 240 or better or its not worth it.
I will just ask my question again
I have 4 quads should i sell one to buy an i7?
Yes. An i7 will stop a Q6600 in PPD, so it'd be worth it.
Should I buy that bad-ass dual suspension mountain bike or an i7 rig first?
Eller
i7 rig. Help conquer cancer.
Will I get "lucky" in the next ~2.5 weeks?
EDIT: 1250 posts. :p:
Sure you will.
Sleep more, or work more? how many hours do you have to sleep to feel ok?
9 No rly I need 9
Processed cheese or straight from the goat?
14 months since it left the cow.
Will you donate anything for a core i7 rig for me?
No, if I had anything I would donate it to myself :D
Don't you just hate PR guys?
Ya. I prefer PR girls TBH :DQuote:

why not get it modded for i7?
Wait that is a question lol.
Because you could as well buy a new one. I don't think a simple compressor upgrade and re-gas would make it sufficiently powerful.
Did you know that Fudo's Nehalem TLB news is total BS?
I thought it was verified by Intel. It's probably BS from the point of view of being as serious as Barcelona/Agena - although no one has tested the patch to see if it degrades performance - at least AFAIK.Quote:

Slap the annoying kid at work?
No.Only women slap.
Should I stay or should I go?
Your welcome to stay but fallow your heart. :buddies:
What one is better, CoD4 or CoD5 ?
4.
Am I wasting time?
True. 5 is fun but adds nothing to what we had already. If I want to go WW2, I'll play COD:UO.Quote:

Is chatting on here on company time a bad idea while i am waiting for the database to finish merging?
No, not at all.

Are you excited about upcoming Deneb CPUs release?
No. I'll be excited later when they've proven that they're worth being excited about.
What about five hours of sleep?
5 hours a night over long term will probably add up. I personally sleep about 7-8 hours a day, and if I'm regularly getting less than that, I tend to get a bit cranky.
Is anyone else looking forwards to Lynnfield being released in a few months?
Eller
