1/6/2010 7:01:05 PM

do you think pouring money into your computer will be something that you look back on and laugh at in a few years?

1/6/2010 7:02:04 PM

I, too, have 8GB of ram.

1/6/2010 7:03:36 PM

Some people put there money into cpu's

Some put it into beer

Some put it into making cars fast

Some put it into investments

Some put it into travelling

There is nothing wrong with this as long as there is a point to it. Like running high end video software or games.

1/6/2010 7:04:26 PM

also, I read an article the other day that said the amount of RAM in your computer is directly proportional to the size of your cock-n-balls


^ no kidding. I wasn't trolling at all.... just wondering. Lord knows I blew a lot of money in college on stupid shit.

1/6/2010 7:04:43 PM

LOL! You basically threw away money on RAM that you probably didn't even need, which has been outdated for quite sometime, on a platform (LGA775) that's dead, for a measly dual-core CPU (albeit a fast one at 4.2 Ghz).

There is no status to reach. You have an Nvidia video card and a Crossfire motherboard, paired up on a platform that has been superseded by LGA1366 and Core i7 processors that uses DDR3 memory. If that status is "Worse way to spend money." then congratulations, you're on the right track.

Instead, you should be putting money away towards a LGA1366 or LGA1156 system and stop buying outdated hardware, especially when it really won't make the computer last any longer.

But it's your money. If you think throwing money at that computer will make your e-peen bigger, go right ahead. But to me, all you'll do is provide lulz to me as you desperately try to "show off."

I have at least 4 games that use 5Gb of RAM, so BLOW ME.

Why would I want i5/i7 when the gains are less than 20% from a Wolfdale@4.2ghz when playing at 1920x1200p. You talk about wasting money and then you tell me to buy the most expensive platform on the market for small gains. The thing I am considering is going to C2Q which almost match i7/i5 when clocked to 4ghz.

Here is some proof to prove you're a dumbass:

Look at 1920x1200, that is what my monitor is. You think 2-5fps is worth spending over $400?


If you follow my threads, they are all to show off

Also I won my motherboard in an OCing competition. PWNT.

You may be able to get a game to use 5 GB of RAM, but you it may not NEED 5 GB of RAM. All you do is decrease loading times a bit.

Did you even read what I said? You didn't, did you? I'll let you soak it in again:

I didn't tell you to run out and buy the most expensive platform. I said you should start saving your money instead of throwing money out on useless upgrades on an outdated platform. That's a big difference from me telling you to go and buy the latest platform now. A glance at Newegg shows 2x2 GB RAM kits at over 75 bucks. Not a large amount of money, but it's certainly up from what it was a couple of years ago, when the same kits could be had for 30-40 bucks less.

Oh, and on some of your games, I wouldn't be surprised if you see a performance decrease from a C2Q, as you probably won't be able to OC it to anywhere near what you're able to hit now. Although it's pure bullshit speculation on my part, as the overclock-ability of each can differ from each other, even under the same stepping.

Oh, and your picture links are broken. Go fix it, bitch.

I just look at a bitch and she gets wet when she sees me at my computer.

Also $75 is hardly a large investment into a computer.

Summary:

BlackDog enjoys upgrading and showing off his computer.

merbig is being an ass, or just plain wrong. There would be little value in BlackDog changing platforms, as that would require replacing nearly all of his hardware for little if any performance gains. Id 8GB excessive? Yeah, but so the fuck what? I find myself pushing the limits of my 4GB of RAM at times and I wouldn't mind an upgrade. Don't forget about Windows 7's prefetch. The more RAM you have, the more shit it can preload into memory and the less paging is required, meaning a more responsive desktop environment.

aikimann can suck my balls. I had 10.5 TB of hard disk space before Christmas and my dad gave me a 1TB NAS for my Christmas, so ha!

1/6/2010 7:52:54 PM

how is that Q6600 treating ya? I thought about it but because of my motherboards tendency to love duals and hate quads, I went with the most cost effective OCer (E8500 though the E8400 can hit similar speeds)

You know most Q6600 can hit 3.5ghz easy with a decent HS.



Damn, Mr secretive; had to remove your RAM/CPU info?

more like, no one cares, there are probably a million+ pc's that outperform that.

1/6/2010 7:58:00 PM

you are missing the point, just like a terrorist.

1/6/2010 7:58:40 PM

I've booted and benchmarked the Q6600 at 4.0GHz @ 1.3125V but it hit 70 C under load and my RAM can't manage the fast clocks (no my motherboard doesn't support running it unlinked). I run it at 3.0GHz most of the time, which runs just about any game at 1920x1080 with the settings turned most or all of the way up. If I have a lot of transcoding jobs to do, I'll change it to 3.6 GHz temporarily.

I don't play a lot of games, but I do RIP and transcode a lot of videos. I'm in the process of converting all my HD DVDs to a more compatible format.

1/6/2010 8:01:57 PM

I play lots of games when I have the time and watch a lot of Blu-Rays (Netflix).

1.31V is actually very good for a Q6600 at 4.0, you just need to upgrade your heat sink.

70C really isn't that bad on a stock HS, have you tried Intel Burn Test? It's the most taxing bench available and even my huge HS gets to ~69C

if you're gonna brag about it you would expect the item you are bragging about to be at least near top of the line, not a full generation behind.

1/6/2010 8:05:10 PM

not all of us have unlimited funds.

It's pretty funny one guy is defending my platform and another is telling me to upgrade and another is saying I spend too much money; I provided plenty of proof why i5/i7 is not worth the upgrade.
