    It is 2 millions DOLLARS of stock allready on hand. I left that out and never edited it.
    Also I'm not going to build till after the first of the year or when the snow flies. SO by then the quad cores will be out and who knows
    As far as right now I would be leary of a conrow build, as the mother boards are really not capatiable yet. So I want to so the mobo's get better first.. and what is PECI? If the board does not have that, it will not even boot or post.

    FIHSNERD ,the amd2(FX-62) isnt going to be much of a perforance gain i would wait till the amd3 came out. just upgrade what you have now the 939 socket is going to be around a long time and will still be good in 2 or 3 years down the road. the amd 3800x2 is really going to be the best bang for the buck with the price drop down to 170.00 dollars or just bit the bullet and get the 1meg cache core like i did . the amd Opteron 175 Demark i got is great and i dont regreat spending 500 dollars on it at all.

    FIHSNERD,
    Today is supposed to be the day AMD cuts the prices 30 to 50% on [bold]all[/bold] the dual cores. With Intel delaying the "Official Corporate Release" until the 27th. AMD may have to hold off a few days!

    Happy Computering,
    theone

    Just trying to be friendly. Thought I'd say something before one of the moderators stepped in. And yes, it is their job.

    FIHSNERD, you ought to know better than ask for serial #! also knock off the comments when somebody is giving you a word of warning as that is not needed!

    That seems like quite a gamble for AMD.

    It's a huge gamble, but then again, with the reported drops in profits and sales from intel, and AMD expected to follow, maybe we need some alliances. ATi won't want intel after being shunned with crossfire on 975.

    AMD and ATi in conjunction? Anyone smell a 2GHz core graphics processor in the future?

    Well, anything's possible, but don't forget GPU cores are specialised, you can'tr just shove a desktop CPU in there, why do you think software rendering is so slow?

    Well if you want instant power, get the 3800+. But you won't notice a performance difference until you overclock because at 2.4GHz your 3700+ would outpace it by far.

    i plan on overclocking it to 2.5 or 2.6 or somthing like that... but other than that how do you like the setup?? we are ordering tonight or tomorrow...
