cheese pepperoni sausage black olives the works pizza is pretty good too, although I don't really like the taste of bell peppers

this thread gets my stamp of approval

who cares it's the internet it is all about who types the fastest

fucking gay as fuck

bump, getting close cmon someone has to have more to say btw if anyone plans on buying it @ release post here please i am curious

There is supposed to be an enthusiast CPU released with the high end ones next month. You won't be sinking all that much cash into it. Early indications are that it will have a better $/performance compared to the CPUs out now. You obviously didn't read about the i7, otherwise you would know why it is worth buying right now. The X58 chipset will be LGA-1366

On a related note, the Intel X58 chipset will have native SLI support. This is the chipset required for the i7 bloomfield cores released next month. This is important because this will make it 1 of only 2 chipsets in the entire world that can support both SLI and CrossfireX. The vendor will have to be certified by Nvidia in order to have the SLI technology unlocked on the board. They will be given a key to put in the bios. When the Nvidia drivers are installed they check for the key. Nvidia is doing this because they will not make a LGA-1366 chipset for Nehalem. http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=3395&p=1

With the Netburst microarchitecture hyperthreading was really hit or miss from program to program. It was also believed to use a lot more energy than a dual-core machine. I just don't think the old microarchitectures were ready for the technology.

First of all I would like to recognize that this is probably better off in the computer discussion section. However, I don't think it would get enough exposure there because few people seem to read that section. This is Intel's new processor line that is sporting the new Nehalem microarchitecture. I am very excited for the release. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_3 http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=608 Here are a couple links with information on it. I'll highlight a few important parts for gamers. Short Version: * The return of HyperThreading as a very energy efficient way to increase CPU performance. * The addition of an integrated memory controller (IMC) creating the potential for a much larger memory bandwidth and lower memory latency. * If a core is not being used, then it can be completely powered down. This will decrease energy consumption since if a core is assigned work on a processor that exists now, then the idle processor also has to power up to a certain energy level. * Turbo Mode. If a program is not utilizing all the cores, then the CPU will use the additional available power to overclock the utilized core(s). This is Intel's answer to the quad-core versus dual-core debate. Turbo Mode is bolded because it is something gamers should take note of.

this thread is over 2 months old, can't you read?

Obviously, I'm getting these statistics from observing my friends. The situation is far too common in the population of interest, thus it appears to be statistically significant. Have you ever actually stepped back and taken a look at what your friends are like? I doubt it. Being blind doesn't make you insecure. You would be insecure if you stayed with a chick because she puts out, even though you know she is a bitch. This isn't the same situation. The people I've observed simply don't realize the chick is a bitch.

I'm 20. I'm not friends with any of the girls I was friends with at 15. I am not on bad terms with any of them, however I don't call them up to hang out with them either. You don't have to be on bad terms with people you break up with, but it is a bit strange if you keep them as good friends. Most men are blinded by the fact that their gf puts out. It's called the "honeymoon period." It has nothing to do with being insecure. I don't know why insecurity was even brought into the conversation.

I'm glad it was amusing! At the same time I was being a little bit serious. I can't tell you how many times I've heard guys talk about their girlfriend like you have just done. It's been a lot. However, after the breakup the things they say always change. It has nothing to do with the chick being boring, but a lot of the time it has to do with the fact that a lot of them are dumb whores who constantly try to talk about people behind their back. In my age group I find it true for a pretty large majority of women. I'm not going to say you're incorrect about how great your girlfriend is, but I find that in the vast majority of relationships the guy's opinion of the girl is blinded by the fact that she puts out.

The reason you enjoy spending time with her is because your penis is slowing being transformed into a vagina. I'm sure you don't hang out very much with your friends anymore either. However, I'm also sure that you will make a post saying "LOL UR JEALOUS N I HANG OUT WIT MY FRIENDS ALL DA TIME," but we both will know the real answer.

certainly that lowers the chances, however there is still a chance hell there is still a chance with a condom+pill, however the chance is nearly negligible id hate to be the guy who got his chick pregnant through a condom and the pill... fuckin resilient sperm there

bad troll is bad, stop feeding this troll it's obviously fake you realize she can still get pregnant right? pre-cum contains trace amounts of sperm

no one cares

some of us don't live with our parents

... That shit is so old. Why do you have such a hardon for AMD? AMD is complete trash right now. That processor doesn't give AWESOME performance. It gives low end performance because it is OLD AS SHIT TECHNOLOGY.

fuck em

You don't buy the die shrink models unless you have the money to buy a new rig after every cycle. It is more efficient to buy the new microarchitecture models because the performance increase is usually greater than the die shrink. The die shrink will add low teens in performance percentage at the most, where as changing the microarchitecture can yield performance increases of 20%+. This means your setup will be competitive with all the other setups for longer if you buy the new microarchitecture compared to if you buy the die shrink. As I said before, AMD is almost a year behind. The only thing they have going for them is that they make the best chipsets in the world. However, this gets outshined because the performance of the chips that they offer is disappointing. I would stay away from AMD for the time being because you will very likely get better performance for your $ with Intel. If you are just making a rig for gaming, go with a Core 2 Duo Wolfdale processor. There is not a better gaming processor in the world right now than the E8500, with the E8400 being the more budget friendly model.

That's complete bullshit. The processor I linked is cheaper than the one he has and will get better gaming performance. The only thing AMD does is give you cheap quad-cores. However, they have poor performance compared to intel chips. It is fine to be cheap. However, you have to look at efficiency. Being efficient with your money is a lot better than being cheap with it. Does that AMD processor cost too much for the performance it gives? Yes. That means it is inefficient.

I would suggesting waiting a while if you can to build a computer. Once Intel i7 comes out, everything else will be blown out of the water. The chips get 30% better performance clock to clock. This means an i7 Bloomfield core clocked at 2.66 GHz will outperform every single processor on the market right now. The Nehalem microarcitecture is amazing. With the return of hyperthreading (a great way to improve performance without upping power consumption), you will have 4 cores and 8 threads to carry out your processes. The mainstream chips for this will be out by the middle of next year. I would stay away from AMD. AMD is really getting their shit kicked in at this time. The Phenom you have selected gets severely outperformed by Wolfdale Core 2 Duo chips in gaming applications. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115037 I would consider going with that processor and a P35 chipset to go with it if you plan on buying right now. I would go with an ATI card, since you are in the mainstream market. The $$/performance ratio is much higher than Nvidia cards in the mainstream market. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121253 You really can't beat the $$/performance ratio of this card right now. The alternative is to go with a 9800 GT card or 9800 GTX+ card since the prices on those have really dropped since the release of this ATI card. The price on a 9800 GT would be about $10 more than the card you have right now
