not buying into the benchmark queen intel hype, spending half as much on a cpu that will have performance indistinguishable from intel's best for all practical purposes. I like it.

[Autistic Spectrum]

you may have eight cores now, but is your life truly fulfilled,

[jon]

i will not know until next week, when i place the order, but i do know that i am quite tired of my core 2 duo

[steveyos]

you're gonna BLUESCREEN

[steveyos]

you don't NEED A CPU COOLER WAIT MAYBE YOU DO BY A TEXAS REASON

[steveyos]

ugh all the wronnchoices

[Autistic Spectrum]

oh jesus here's comes stevey to own everyone

you don't really need more than 8gb ram these days but if you want your want your computer to still be able to keep up in a few years time then 16gb is good, I have no idea what you'd need 64gb ram for a home computer for, you wouldn't even use it

jon writes code for several different platforms so he's going to be using either emulators or VMs, in addition to a big heavy development suite. also ram is dirt cheap you might as well max out your board so you don't have to upgrade later.

stop assuming nobody uses their computers for anything more than browsing rubynet and talking on msn

yeah i know basically its just a good deal as 2 sticks instead of 1, it's the price point that i look for, to tell me where most of the sales volume is

by swimming with the stream i am statistically more likely to get a product that passed Q/A with flying colors

so i trade some money in exchange for saving my personal time, which is more valuable; i can always earn more money, but you can't earn a longer life; you can only sit around and hope someone else solves that problem for you; like that they make a machine that eats poor people and shits stem cells, or whatever

is your $3000 machine still hanging on the bios screen stevey?

Oh my god I hate these fucking tech threads. I don't know what they mean omg

[jon]

baby, i will teach u what u need to know, just sit down with me on the couch here, and let's talk about parts and connections

[steveyos]

you threw your computer away cag

[Tahiti Joe]

Should have bought bullets jon. They're shutting down the lead smelters.

[jon]

that x60 cooler will keep that cpu at like 30C, i won't be seeing any bluescreens, thanks

[jon]

Should have bought bullets jon. They're shutting down the lead smelters.

lol @ all faggots who don't already have bullets

lol @ all fucking conspiracy theorist lizard wackos

[LadyKillmonger]

"but if you want your want your computer"

lol I hate when I do that

[jon]

you know what i'm not going to get the M5A97, that won't do crossfire at 16x on both pci-e slots. i'm going with this instead

GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

its only $60 more and it will run a pair of radeon 7000 series cards in crossfire at full speed, so later when the gtx 480 is no longer powerful enough to keep up, i can easily upgrade, plus it has an internal usb 3.0 header, so i will be able to use the usb 3.0 ports on the front of the case, whereas that other board does not have that, its only usb 3.0 is on the back panel

[always stevey]

No thank you Jon I don't associate with racists!

[jon]

ruby has 64gb of RAM... that's DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

my 16gb of RAM is DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900), it will have to work pretty hard to keep up

[jon]

yeah you do cag, everyone is racist, especially arabs, slavs and japs, you live in a sheltered world, but we're here to open you up and teach you what's really happening out there

fwiw

do you work for corsair

their coolers are fine, their memory is fine, its just that i always buy the shit that has lots of reviews and mostly positive results, and the shit that has promo codes and rebates and so on usually is second-rate and just needs to be cleared off the shelves

not that it's all that different and i maybe will never notice, but i also don't have to worry about Q/A, differences between the flagship product that everybody likes, and the slightly-worse version, which doesn't get as closely inspected

[Moonman]

its amazing what you can build for $750 these days; thats the budget i built my computer on like 4 and a half years ago, and it has a 3.2GHz quad core phenom II, 2 gigs of DDR3 (it was when ddr3 just came out), and a 1 gig video card
