Alternately, set someone's overclocked system back to defaults when they're not paying attention, then compliment them on their uber-fast overclocked system (after they use it for a while)...
Seriously, most people wouldn't know the difference off-hand, and get really suprised when you point out that their systems aren't running overclocked, or in 32 bit color mode.
DISCLAIMER: I'm posting this on an overclocked E6750 with a 24" monitor set to 32 bit color. And yes, I just checked those out before making this disclaimer.
ROFL... my cousin did this to me. He swapped my only air cooled quad with a C2D @ stock speeds and waited to see how long i would realize he did that.
Took me 4 seconds. I opened bionic an saw 8 hour WU times on 2 threads and not 4. Normal WU time for that rig is about 5 hours 35min give or take 10 min.
LOL....
C2D will RAPE any AMD in any benchmark program. The quickness can be more related to hard drive being faster on one system, or because one system is on RAID or the memory on the system, or the controler.
My 680i RAID is faster then my intel's by a lot. It would only take 5-7 sec to boot into windows on the 680i RAID with 4 raptors. It takes about 20 seconds for my Q6600 on P35 Chipset. But the P35 is faster when I open the applications i need.

I'm already looking forward to your new thread tomorrow. I wonder what it will be about?

Didn't get the response you want from this thread?
Or from this thread?
When are you going to give up? People like what they like. If you like X2 you will like X2, if you like C2D you'll like C2D and you back up and support what you like.
P.S. I prefer "more responsive" to "snappier".

What does "snappier" or "not too snappy" mean? Don't get me wrong you're entitled to your opinion and I'm not saying you're right or wrong but without any data, benchmarks and whatnot, qualitative statements such as those are just that, some guy's opinion.

If all of u guyz say that My C2D shud be snappier than my X2 4000+...then I must have bought a bad chip...
that doesn't make any sense does it? I thought the e6750 should kill just about anything AMD offers right now especially with a mild oc...Originally posted by: vaylon
Vista works completely diff than xp. You wont start seeing a "snappier" diff for about a week of use with vista.
But the diff between the two cpu's is almost unnoticeable to normal people. Only a second or two at most.
I have a 6750 (mildly OC'd) and a x2 4400+(skt939 OC'd alot). Both start and work applications almost exactly the same.
The X2 can rip dvd's just a fraction faster than the 6750, but the 6750 can play unreal tornement just slightly better than the x2. But then again HL2 plays much better on the X2 than on the 6750.
My office tools run a noticable diff faster on 6750 than on the X2, but my x2 can run PSP9 fatser than my 6750.
My older games like Battlezone and Battlezone2 play much better on the X2 than they do on the 6750.
and then there is crysis.
Running both systems with 850xt's set to 1280x800. I can play crysis in dev mode at all medium settings, high physics and high effects.
The 6750 runs at average of 27-30fps
The X2 runs about 30-34fps .
BUT
If I used the TAC cannon and launch 4-6 war heads all going off at once, then my x2 system will drop to like 14 fps but the 6750 wont drop below 25.
My friends system has a 6750 with a foxxcon motherboard and more memory than mine, but regardless of how much tweaking I do to his setup. It crawls. but I have also seen plenty of X2 systems also crawl.
So I think it really depends on the user and how well they keep the systems tuned and cleaned up.
