For the performance the core 2 chips give theyre worth the cost, only reason they appear expensive is amd's round of price cuts they done.

Over here at least the amd fx60 (2.6 ghz) costs £525+ whereas the 2.67ghz core 2 costs £399.

As for amd soon "wiping that score" , soon is late 2007 early 2008. Somehow i doubt intel is gonna be sitting doing nothing in that time frame.

x1950 with gddr 4 ram and a far better cooler. happy:

Yea I know about that but I am sick of waiting. Haven't had a computer for 2 months and now that Conroe is out I am not waiting anymore, plus that card will barely give any better performacne then the 1900xtx.

Noone knows how much more performance it'll give, the rams ddr4 which is totally new and this is the first card to have it, also as far as i know the clock speeds for both the core and the ram have yet to be finalised.

Release is the 24-27 august.

Exactly, I am not waiting another month. Plus my COD2 needs me anyway asap

how much that set your dad back?

Oh I don't know, you can count right?

nyck stop hating.
