SuperPI i guess

anywho.. :arrow: :arrow: :shock: :shock: hot damn!

omg 16s... that's like twice as fast as mine

and I've overclocked a fair bit too... That just makes me feel sad...

What's worse is that the conroe probably won't cost as much as an AM2 when its widely availible.

Yep as Erez said its the super pi time as its almost a 50 % performance increase over some of the fastest computers on JW.

For me though its the video encoding times that will make life a bit easier and enable me to get the videos up a bit quicker.

^ yeah i saw that vid you posted.. damn!
how much do you reckon that CPU is going to cost?

Jabba · 05-16-2006, 06:20 AM

I heard as low as $200 but thats prob the special deal intel gives to Dell and other big name manufacturers, I bet with the initial demand going to be so high you are prob going to be seeing silly ebay prices again. In fact I already saw a test one on there for $1,000.

Erez · 05-16-2006, 09:09 AM

pfff I dont even want to think about prices here then.. with the FX-60 costing around 1,550 USD..

i better go out now and look for the nearest bank to rob..

Jabba · 05-16-2006, 09:27 AM

Get a cheap Dell with a conroe and it will still probably be faster than a FX60

wow man, INTEL finally did it apparently! Hope this technology is used on PS3 in some way. Anyone know if there is a 3D marks number yet?

And when exactly did I say it was ? (I only said the volts were stock meaning that it can be pushed alot further)

Jabba, what was the name of the progrm you used to overclock? You just use that program or do you biosOverclock aswell?

Jabba · 05-16-2006, 12:49 PM

Well I use this

http://www.cpuid.com/clockgen.php

to find a stable speed that I can run at then adjust it permanently in the bios yes.

I aint going anywhere near dell

and after some stories i've just heard about HP.. i aint going near any big faceless retailer.. 4 people i know (!) had their screens on their mobile comps stop working.. just after the warranty ended.. all with the same reason, the cable just got worn out.. it's like a 5 buck fixup, but HP wont fix it.. or sell it.. for them to fix it they want, and i'm NOT joking 612 EUROs.. which mean you better off getting a new one.. ALL just after the warranty ended.. unfucking believable..

Jabba · 05-16-2006, 05:39 PM

Yep I hear what you are saying and it sucks that they get the best deals from intel and the chips first. But then thats just good business I guess and tough shit for us the consumer as usual

Erez · 05-16-2006, 06:00 PM

yeah business is business.. i sure get that.. but as a customer.. thats unacceptable,
and the only way to make those policies change is for people to stop taking it up the ass, and understand that they have power, if the customer service sucks, dont give them the the returned business, tell your friend about it.. make them know that customer service is just as important as a good deal.. (if not more..)
..but i guess people cant really be bothered.. :roll:

I just cant believe how companies like that get away with it..
