| 571537 | 2007-07-22 21:39:00 | Wow. I'm impressed. No not performance, not price. This: www.imagef1.net.nz www.imagef1.net.nz and especially this: www.imagef1.net.nz That makes AMD look cheap and crude. I like the little cover plate too. And its stock. Of course the board helps. I love it, maybe I'll ask the customer if he wants to swap for mine and I'll have his board. :p |

| 571538 | 2007-07-22 21:43:00 | I feel the same way - about value for money anyway. Mine's watercooled so the heatsink isn't an issue, but looking at reviews etc, Intel is owning AMD. My CPU was AMD's top of the line when I bought it, cost a fair penny. And sure, it is a great chip, but the new Intels have blown it away, and for a lot cheaper. I think I might try and sell up and go back to Intel. Anyone in the market for an AMD X2 6000+ and an Asus M2N32-SLI with built in wireless? :D :lol: | wratterus (105) | ||

Nah I said, I don't care about the performance, price thing. The AMD is still cheaper anyway which is why everyone has asked for them so far here. I just like the hardware. Yum, yum. Husband failed to see the excitement....sigh.... |

| 571543 | 2007-07-22 21:58:00 | I must have one soon - that will obviously enhance my typing speeds. Makes the cabinet window a bit more useful too. As soon as this 4 year old chip karks it, out it goes. |
