Seriously though, I am in hot sweaty love with my Conroe. My X2 4400+ @ 2.6 was a damned fast CPU, but this thing is literally +/- 10-15% (depending on app) of DOUBLE the speed (when you add in the slight boost from the FSB and mem, ~5% avg put together)


I've enjoyed watching how MS-Word loads faster and faster on my newer systems.

On my P4 3.4ghz prescott, it simply flashed the "Word" screen and was up
About the same on my X2 4400+

On my current system? The "Word" screen doesn't even show up. Fking A

Heh... now test how fast it loads photoshop. I swear, no matter how fast a computer I get, those bums just keep making their apps load slower to compensate, to the point where it takes 5 seconds to open up a stupid pdf, even when a third party app could open the pdf in a split second.

pdf files freeze my whole commputer for several seconds when i try to open them, whoever designed the loading function sucks at it, cant it at least let me move my frikin mouse while its loading?
