If I sit down and think about it reasonably then on the whole I'm chuffed with my 9500, it's just the niggly things that get to me. I've had AMD machines for a long time and this one goes right at the top of the fav list.Originally Posted by Brother Esau
I do find sometimes that I myself get a little pre-occupied with clock speeds and bench numbers at times (especially when the whole world is watching at this early stage). Considering also all the issues still facing phenom, the performance is really quite good IMO...albeit a little too inconsistent.
As far as this system goes, I'm inclined to agree with you, my Q6600 rig at 3400mhz 18/7 feels identical to this phenom rig at 2600mhz. Sure benchmarks tell you the Q6600 is faster at some stuff, but not by much. Run Crysis in the background on each rig then task-switch and open say COD4 and windows movie maker and encode an HD clip and you can noticeably see the phenom rig respond faster from that point on.
Nice to see you back btw, hope you've learnt your lesson
Bear in mind it's usually only guys who disagree with you that make a point of standing out. There are plenty of users here who agree with you so don't take it so hard when a few limpets give you a hard time
