    *Official* Venice Core Price Guide *semi-updated 4/27*

    Joe, you guys were too fast! My CPU is here today, but I'm still waiting for the rest of my PC. My compliments to you, and monarch computers Joe. Every part that I'm on hold for are from zipzoomfly.com, which apparently doesn't ship for at least 2 days after you submit your order. >:-|

    My understanding is the onboard Creative chip for MSI drastically reduces CPU overhead when compared to the Asus SLI or Gigabyte SLI boards. DFI uses the same chip as those other guys, so I imagine it wouldn't be any different. At any rate, obviously we went for different specs, and it...

    Who Else is Waiting Until the Venice Cores Are out Until They Build a System?

    A few thoughts... Games will always be written to be sequential. I'm sure they can find something to do out of synch, but that sounds messy to me. Threading generally needs to be synchronized in some way shape or form, usually due to shared data. For example, all games have a program...

    Who Else is Waiting Until the Venice Cores Are out Until They Build a System?

    Multithreading within the code for a single process has nothing to do with it. So I'll assume when you say multithreading, you're speaking of the machines ability to send machine code for the same process to multiple CPUs to handle it, which by way, still has to happen sequentially. The cpus...

    Are you're referring to the MSI SLI platinum board? If so, it was hanging with your FX-55? What on your board was making weird noises???

    I don't suppose you anything at all about the 3200s?

    Joe, Thanx for the upgrade on the shipping! That's very cool of you! Now if you can just find a way to make the retail 3200 Venice magically appear in the mail tomorrow, I would worship you and your website. :-)

    Mueng, I emailed MSI using their website about that very same issue, although concerning the Neo4 SLI mobo. They told me that motherboard would post, but would probably detect the speed of the CPU incorrectly. They expect a new BIOS out soon for that mobo. In short, just send them a...

    I've read reviews that have said the new cores should handle 4 sticks at 1T, and at 400 instead of 333.

    MSI K8N Neo4 (plat) SLI/Non-SLI

    Personally, I think you're underestimating the value of the onboard Sound Blaster. It drastically reduces the overhead your CPU will encounter with other onboard chips, and possibly the same with cards. I'm going with the SLI version of this board with that as a big reason. Should work out...
