Weird thing is that it is 24hours delivery. And one shop even has it for sale at the shop, not only by internet.Greece
http://www.techpowerup.com/79688/Phe...ck_Speeds.html don't know if these have been posted yet. not like it matters tho i have seen stock 9850s get better results so idk whats going on here. the user comments are the best parts tho. everyone thinks these are legit.
half those comments infuriate me and give me headache :(Quote:

Justapost posted his scores at the same settings/clocks with Agena for comparison.
It's a joke. :rolleyes:Quote:

i just think that some people are uninformed so when you see a benchmark you just believe it because its all you know about the topic. good thing there is so many people here that are good at finding information so we are all kept up to date.Quote:

i was thinking you know because am3 cpus have both a ddr2 and ddr3 controllers on chip i wonder if it would be possible to run both at the same time if the motherboard had ram slots for both ddr2 and ddr3. i doubt it would work but what if it actually did? intel just came out with triple channel ram if this worked it could possibly be quad channel. or it could be used as a large low latency cache. lol idk im just dreaming right now.
edit: from the amd k10 white papershmmm what does inbetween mean? like if the memory controllers were ganged and both channels share the same memory controller? or is it possible to run 2 different ram types in unganged?Quote:
The DCTs do not support different DRAM types (DDR2 and DDR3) on the same channel or between channels.
Well, I got banned from their forum for pointing out that there was a flaw in a couple of their reviews, so this comes as no surprice to me.Quote:

It's weird why brands are putting out AM3 boards when there's 1 month left for the AM3 cpu's to arrive to the market ...
... this makes me think ...
... maybe that question about PII am2+ being compatible with AM3 boards ... maybe that's not so out of the book as we thought...
I just have a hard time thinking that a company, in these days where economic turndown is the main focus when planing a selling strategy, puts a AM3 board to sale and they know that, at the moment, the sales will be very very low due to the non existence of AM3 CPU's...
I'm still trying to fight through my ideas and believes and decide if i go with i7 or PII ... :)
For one side the power i7 ... but the price of de i7 is way to high ( yes, i am willing to pay for it, but if can save some money... best for me )
The other side, PII ... a old passion for AMD cpu's and the unclear performance makes me apprehensive
letsssss wait and see
