I didn't see it til about 2004, 2005-ish. There was REALLY something magically innocent about those Athlon XP and P4 days....Originally Posted by chew*
Sorry charlie but then is really no different than now. The samewent on back then. The only difference between now and then is people are actually aware of it now.
I remember how back in the day... I saw a guy on ebay with an FX-51 before they were in stores. Maybe a week before they were in stores... so I drove down to Los Angeles to meet the guy at some Cafe to do the deal, lol... the benchies I posted were probably/close to the first FX-51/940 benchies on XS. Nowadays... anand, XS, et al... would have posted pre-production benchies a month before the public saw them.
And I remember the boards, lol... the SK8N and the SK8V from Asus. They were like IMPOSSIBLE to find. That was the good old days... when ANYONE could make a splash without corporate ties.
