octo core ( w/ dsdc )

[polluxmr2]

well, i want to upgrade right now but octo-core is, or will be available really soon.

but that asus mobo and two quad core barcelonas will get me 8 cores?

what i usually do is get cutting edge stuff then hold onto it until its old enough to be in a museum. go go athlon 2500 barton core! (most advanced desktop cpu i own ) plus, helping to fight diseases and stuff is nice too. at least then, i can justify getting something so powerful that normal operations wouldn't use its full power.

(ps; lets keep it on topic. i have seen threads go very bad, very fast when people start talking about star trek, or star wars, or how star trek is better than star wars or how hayden christensen is a hack. i dont wanna tell people what to do and stuff, i just dont want to see a thread about 8 core computing devolve into insults being thrown back and forth in klingon and challenging someone jedi powers in KOTOR or whatever..... some of my friends are real nerds. so nerdy, even nerds are sometimes embarressed by them)

Yup 2 Barcelonas will give you 8 core power on this board with a bios upgrade , because ...Asus has promised us this. Are you gonna be the first AMD_user to try?


heh heh, I agree. My last comment was related to the Lion King movie, that's about as non ST as you can get.

well, i think i am going to wait until ASUS delivers on their promise. and once that happens i will probably get two and replace all my old, worn out servers. maybe even a third for my girlfriend .... if shes nice.

and i just wanted to make sure no one paraphrased millhouse from the simpsons..... "Step across this line and i will kick you butt!..... at nintendo"

I'm currently running one machine today with 2 quad cores from that "other" processor manufacturer. Getting a second from AMD would be really nice!!

I'm presuming intel ( if your answer was a joke)

heh, yeah, i was making a joke. I know he was talking about intel.

I just remember in 8th grade, i was all excited when the 6x86 had been released.

Oops, speed reading never works! It wasn't until I hit the quote button that I read it properly! ...I thought you said : "maybe even a third girlfriend .... if shes nice" ...and there's me stuck with one Wife!

haha, no. one girlfriend is by far enough "joy" in my life. but she said she only wants a laptop so i told her shes on her own.

are they are quad core mobile procs yet? intel or amd?
