Curious to see a show of hands as to who is going to make the move to Conroe from whatever they currently have. Let's see it!
 
me too possibly,depends how much a conroe setup will set me back tbh ;)

this 939 rig does its job atm so who knows....
 
third alternative, my next upgrade will be a dualcore skt 939.

my next major upgrade will be around 2008 if i stick to my usual upgrade plans and by then amd can have beaten conroe a couple of times or so.
 
I'm going to wait, just can't afford right now. Probably keep my current rig for a year or 2, maybe upgrade the graphics card a little earlier than that, then choose from the best platform available then, whether it be Intel or AMD
 
Damn man, 2 years? That's a long ass time if you think of it in retrospect... I'd put money on it that you upgrade your entire platform far before the 2 year mark.

I said 1 to 2 years, more likely it'll be one. And anyways, if you knew my dad, 2 years wouldn't be too hard to believe :(

Get a job and tell ur dad to take a friggin leap! :p
 
Erm yes that would be me. Usually I'm not an early adopter, because of price premium etc. But 'Conroe' looks to be something special... At least until AMD brings out their new revisions :)

Got the board, just waiting on the chip - CONROE HERE I COME

Mate there's some shops in the states with Conroes in stock, let me know if you need me to pick on up and post it to ya.

My next upgrade will be when DX10 comes out. :yumyum:

Getting closer and closer every day, exciting stuff!

Welcome to the forums mate, hope you stick around :) Don't forget to check out the Ageia contest! :wavey:
 
Yeah.... I went all out, I spent probably close to $3k USD for a whole new system.. New case, new psu, new board, new cpu, new ram, new hdd's, new gpu.... lol

I came from a 3.2ghz 1mbCache Socket 478 PIV Northwood and 1gb DDR400 and a radeon 9600XT 8xAGP to.. what is in my signature lol.

the case was about $150, the mobo $250, the cpu $260, the ram ... well, too much lol (400+), the gpu 250, the 4x320gb Seagate barracuda's were $94 each, the psu 170... for now I think the arctic cooling freezer 7 pro will do well, if not at least probably a lot better than the stock intel conroe boxed cooler..

I figure from what I am coming from to this new thing, I will be good to go for at least 3 if not maybe even four years, (w/ the cpu, hdd's, ram, and mobo anyway, obviously not on graphics)

I did a lot of research, and in my own opinion, and even those of many reviewers, on various hardware sites, I don't believe AMD has really done much to impress gamers, and enthusiasts w/ their "new AM2" platform.. as far as I am concerned, for now, the intel Conroe line is obviously the clear winner when it comes to price to performance ratio, not to mention how well these chips seem to overclock from many articles I've read online..

Personally I care little for Intel, I've used many AMD's in the past, my previous P4 Northwood was given to me, and performed much better than the XP 2100+ I had prior to it, so of course I took it :) I'm all about supporting the little guy, so long as they put out, but in the time being, AMD has not really put out much, besides new and much lower prices on their cpu's.
