Core 2 Duo Performance

[Wes Newell]

Actually, AMD claims 80% of the market share starting Jan 2006 for desktop
computers

Put down that pipe, or start using regualr tobbaco.

Ill go from my Barton 2500 mobile to a E6600 (2.4 ghz 4mb cache).
That should be a shock performance wise.

Then ill skip the next few generations of chips

What do you think. I try to not get screwed over by new Technology to
much

Bye.

It sounds like a good choice. But if you aren't the adventurous type I'd
wait a couple of months. I'm planning on getting a 6700 in September.

NAAHHH.

I've waited to long already. I need a new system the e6600 runs as
fast as a AMD Fx62. And thats REAL fast, more than enough for me

Thanks.

The reason that I'm suggesting you wait a couple of months is so that
there is time for the second rev of the BIOS to come out.

Bios for the CPU ??

BIOS for the motherboard. There is a new chipset for the Core2 Duo, a new
chipset means a new BIOS, at least in theory. There will almost certainly
some BIOS tweaks in the first couple of months after the release of a new
processor and chipset.

The boards that are out there now don't offer a lot.Most only support 667
memory,and only one has SLI,and that's the old NF 4 chipset.Think I'll wait
for NF 570/590 boards.
