Re: [H] Core i7 new computer
Agreed, However, right now I'm seriously considering an i7 920 with 6GB DDR3 and a semi-basic mobo. All that would cost me around 500(ish) and would be a good upgrade from my C2Q 6600. But problem is that I just got the Q6600 recently (less than a year ago) and I can't justify the expense right now. -Original Message- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Greg Sevart Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 4:52 AM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] Core i7 new computer Yeah, and it looks like shortly after i5 is released, Intel plans to discontinue most if not all of the lower-cost i7's.

Re: [H] Infragard
Infragard has been going on for years. I participated a bit a while back, and know others that do. Personally, I pickup more from Full-Disclosure and other security mailing lists.

Is this just too much big brother or is it going to help www.infragard.net "The goal of InfraGard is to promote ongoing dialogue and timely communication between members and the FBI. InfraGard members gain access to information that enables them to protect their assets and in turn give information to government that facilitates its responsibilities to prevent and address terrorism and other crimes."

Depends om how you look at it. It will be much prettier with the 4650. And framerate will be fine with either.

Re: [H] x48 v p45 ?
thanks, never would do crossfire. Do not game as much as I used to but my son is up and coming. :-[ wound up ordering a Asus Maximums II and a e8600. Love the pin fin cooling on that MB. way overkill but WTF. my existing mb has leaking caps and little weird bugs that have been bugging me. Bad caps was the LAST thing I would of thought of on a fairly new mb. ( less then 2 years) major jump for me, AMD to intel. AMD will probably now come out with something better, figure they been watching me :'( could not see no reason to go i7 or quad core.

Re: [H] x48 v p45 ?
The main difference is that X48 is X16/X16 crossfire capable but P45 is X8/X8. Are you a hardcore gamer with a 1920x1200 or above monitor? P45 is newer and much less expensive. FORC5 wrote: what is better, newer ? fp
