Nice!!

I'll bet that chip is a SETI monster, especially when overclocked like that.

Sandra doesn't really present any useful figures.
So, yea, how about some SETI@home WU times?

Glad Intel has found someone who has $900+ to waste on a CPU. Enjoy that super-long pipeline

I somewhat agree, I am happy the chip works good, but MAN, what a gyp!

Find something SMP aware, and I will take you on ! Congrats on the waste of cash !

Sorry, I really can't see spending that much on a proc that is over-rated and runs so hot, but I do understand what toys are all about when you have the money to burn....

That's one HELL of an overclock. Sorry for my ignorance, but I don't know what "SP34 Cooling" is. Is that Phase-change? I.E. refridgerated cooling?

I would be very curious to pit this monster P4 against two mild-mannered, non-overclocked Opteron 248s. The money spent on CPUs + mobo is equal, I'd bet. AND the Opterons don't need Hydrogen-Phase-Coupled Mother of God Cooling. Just good old HSFs.

No sh!t! WTF? Have you taken a look at AMD FX53 price? Oh look at that, about $900.

 

[woodscomp]

Yes all you AMD fanboy thread crappers...

If this was a FX53 post we would all be hearing how great it is..... My AMD can do this, and mine can pick up the dog piles in my back yard yadayadayada.....

So that fact that he probably spent as much for his CPU and motherboard and cooling solution as I did in my dual 248's means nothing ? I am interested in bang for the buck at high end. I think my 2 248's can beat the one P4EE in an SMP aware application, or 2 instances (like F@H) can beat his one. There is something wrong with this ? Where does fanboy come in ? Care to back that up with some cash ? Like total F@H units in 24 hr ? my total 4.4 ghz will blast his 3.9 to bits in 24 hours....

He'll stomp the crap out of your rig in Doom 3. Your talking about workstation, the rest of us are talking about PCs.

 

[Markfw]

I get more than 60FPS WITH 2 instances of F@H running. The game is capped at 60 FPS. So how does his rig kill me in Doom3 ? And why do I care when I can beat him in almost anything else ? Can we say fanboy ???

HAHAHHAA the guy with a pair of opteron 248s for GAMING and a 5 DRIVE RAID 5 ARRAY is commenting on wasting money, especially when he got an X800Pro...

Single FX53 + X800XT/6800U woulda made 900x more sense and you didnt care.

Post some benchies mr bragrights, no one cares.

I think YOU can say fanboy. Hell, you can write it on your forehead. You have a WORKSTATION. He has a PERSONAL COMPUTER. OMG your Semi can tow more than his Viper, you're the man now dawg!

First, I got the 2x248's for many reasons, gaming was the least of that, since I also have a 3000+ at 3200+ speed. Second, my 5 disk raid 5 array kicks but in everything form level loading to multitasking. And when I bought my X800pro, it was the only thing IN STOCK. Shut the F!!! up or have some valid comments. You sound like a child.

Im sick of you bragging about your workstation

That EE will stomp your dual opterons in everything that isnt SMP aware.

You said in your advice thread, which i posted in multiple times, that the primary use was gaming.

I have several COMPUTERS and he has one or more COMPUTERS. I use mine for gaming and anything else I feel like. what the H!!! are you trying to say ?????

My single Opteron can keep right up with his P4EE in games. The second is running F@H for a good cause. I spent a lot of money for this rig for several reasons, fun, a good cause, and yes, maybe bragging rights. And what wrong with that ? You just need to be realistic in your claims, and saying that a P4EE can stomp a pair of Opterons 248's even in a NON-SMP aware application is a little out of the realm of believeability.

 

[Mik3y]

acanthus, dont make the assumption that markfw900 has dual opterons for gaming only. he's smart enuff to know that a single fx is more then enuff. i think its really cool that he has a dually opteron setup, but deciding on what is a waste of money is very much based on opinions. also, bashing on someone for being able to afford a dually setup like mark's seriously means you cant afford something like that, in other words, jealousy. everyone has different interests. if i had $25,000 to spare, and i needed a car, i wouldnt go spend it on a car of that price tag. i'd rather get, say the scion tc for $9,000 cheaper and spend $5 grand on a comp. i dont see how that would be a waste of money since paying $9000 more for a car wouldnt get you anything more, perhaps 20 horsepower. and i seriously envy mark's setup.

 

[Acanthus]

Believe me, its not jealousy, if i won the lottory today, i would not have dual anything, except maybe geforce 6800s, which would benefit gaming, the primary use of his machine.

Please check the distributes computing statistics. I started doing F@H when I got this dually 3 weeks ago, and I am now in 43rd place for Team Anandtech, I really do have other goals....

And I have worked for 30 years to get where I am today, I am proud of what I have done, and usually don;t like to brag, but sometimes the BS gets so thick, that I can't stand to listen to it.

Sorry. If the majority agrees with Acanthus, I will resign my Anandtech distributed projects as a "prima donna"....

I'm trying to say no one wants to hear you brag. You came in this thread to brag and start trouble, which is against the rules here. Then you went on to insult and fight with people. So cut it out.

Yeah, he sounds like a child. :roll:

OK my first comment was

Sorry, I really can't see spending that much on a proc that is over-rated and runs so hot, but I do understand what toys are all about when you have the money to burn....

Then we get a reply from this woodscomp guy that amd fanboys......, etc...

OK, so I was a little ticked, since I was just playing with the OP about his waste of money (IMO).

Then the real fanboys (or whatever their problem is) say that his rig will stomp tha "crap out of" mine, which is BS. Jeesh.... I give up kids. P4 rules....
