I constantly get amazed at the amount of compute power per dollar ratio. It also excites me to think about the future and what will come to pass. Imagine... 16 core cpu's for 100 dollars :) --- CW <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > CHIP FIRM AMD has kicked into price cuts today by > slashing pri

Sure, and AMD could do another price cut (though this seems likely to be the pre-Conroe cut...). Conroe will debut with very, very reasonable pricing. The 1.86 will be just over $200, and the E6600, already looking to beat the $1000 FX-62, will be only $316. And, the dual core P-D 805 is onl

I get your point. I am just saying far more of the system builders on this list sell more of the low end then high. I know that local shops probably sell 30 3200+ for each 1 of the X2 etc Just as it is. The drop will also be reflected in the sempron line etc. While people on the list tak the hi

I need to replace my father's motherboard/cpu. He's 85 and does not play games. Since I want to keep the costs down and use his DDR memory and APG video I kind of like the ASUS P5P800SE. But I'm torn between the Intel D-805 or the D930. About $65 more for the 930. This is not a deal breaker but

First of all, isn't a D 805 a bit too much overkill for your father? If you want something that will give the least amount of problems, then I would suggest going for a Celeron D and pair it with an intel original motherboard. They make a bulletproof combo. No fuss, no headaches. Plus the Celer

I will consider that but can you tell me, does the d-805 run hotter than the d-930? big or little difference? If he does not play games etc then something like a celeron D or sempron is faster then you ever really need for email / websurfing CW Sent via BlackBerry from Cingular Wireless

What about getting the Asrock-939Dual (~$70) and a cheap AMD 64 processor (AMD price cuts soon). Much less heat than Intel, you can use AGP, upgrade to PCI-E later and keep your DDR memory.
