WizZard · 19-12-2005 3:08pm

FX55 overclocked should beat the X2 (overclocked) in synthetic benchmarks, however the X2 will probably provide a more enjoyable and smooth overall user experience.

It's amazing the benefits that dual cores/dual CPUs can bring, even if it's not apparent in benchmarks.

lads i am not been smart but have to ask why?

Inquitus · 19-12-2005 3:22pm

My Bro wants to take over the world

So the reason is Global Domination

This is a fella who has a Dell XPS top of the line laptop with the best spec available.

A water cooled 4ghz P4 with a 6800Ultra also water cooled

A 19inch Sony Xblack monitor

a 22inch LCD TV

A dell 1280x1024 Projector

An Xbox

An Xbox360

All in a room the size of a postage stamp

There is supposed to be a beta bios out to stop that problem. And dont say it wont be you, cause I got one of those lanpartys that fry the ram

HATE beta though. it might fix that problem, but u can be guarenteed that something else wont work. Also most users dont even get as far as to flash the bios, the minute they hit the switch the chip is fried :mad:

Gilgamesh · 19-12-2005 4:55pm

just saw that overclock.co.uk has them 512s in stock

DemonOfTheFall · 19-12-2005 4:55pm

Feeling less and less like using a DFI. I know they're isolated incidents but still... My mate would kill me if I chose a DFI board for his rig and it nuked a 550 euro CPU or 300 euro worth of RAM.

Assuming that's correct, and I'm sceptical, that still works out to a cost of nearly 300 euro a month, which is MAD. Still, to each his own...

Your maths is atrocious dude.

if it retains 2000 then it depreciates by 3000 over 24 or 36 months = a monthly deprc'n of 125 or 83

Sry worldwide financial standards dictate that Comp Equip such as a laptop should Depreciate over 36 months normally.

I'm sure they do for sensible office equipment. But what is the resale rate for a 5000euro 2Ghz P4 with state-of-the-art Geforce3 from three years ago (I'm guessing a bit here)? Is it 2000euro?

Dunno but generally computers lose bout half their value each year.

True the high spec kit will die

but I am betting a Lian Li P61 modded case and an Extreme Prometea Phase Cooler will still be worth over a grand still in 3 years time.

The watercooling components will hold value, also the PSU.

It is only the GFX, Mobo and CPU (prob mem too) that are going to get hammered.....

rsynnott · 21-12-2005 7:57pm

You realise that Intel is going to release a new range of far lower power chips soon? And that AMD can't afford to trail them on that for long? In two years, crazy cooling may become quite irrelevant.

Even low power chips like phase....take the dothan for instance

No it will always be useful vhips will always output heat the less heat the higher the clock.

wrong... a used mach2 is not worth much mate, they need servicing after a few years sometimes and you need to buy new cpu kits for the new sockets that come out

Lol, the top half of your post describes non-Computer parts basically (Metal case, Fridge etc, tubing etc)!

Gline is right too, Ive had 3 Prommies (2x Mach1 and 1x MachII) and all have failed in one way or another. Have one right here with a broken temp sensor, the only repair place I found (extreme prometeia I think) want something like £150 + shipping to fix it (yes, pound sterling). Just not really worth that.
