Does anyone here actually own a P4EE?

Don't lie; yes or no.

BTW, after you payed 4k for your computer with this processor, how did you feel afterwards?

One of my customers won a FX-51 at an AMD conference. ;) When I told him how much a motherboard and 1GB of Reg. ECC cost his jaw dropped. I recommended that he sell it on eBay.

Rich? Suck at gaming? Compensation for something 'else'? Pockets on fire? Bragging rights? Stupidity?

Take your pick ;).

Or stranger still would be a rich person who bought it to hang on a keychain. :p

I'm surprised someone like Puff Daddy hasn't done that. Punching a hole in a P4EE and wearing it around your neck is as hard core as you can get.

But what are the chances of that happening?
Well the posts were getting PROgressively more silly, so I thought I'd escalate it to a its (il)logical END.

Chances? Not as good as just buying one just for a word processor and e-mailer for the kids. The 9800XT inside the rig would render nothing more demanding than Solitare or Hearts.

So, who'd admit to buying one here? :)

Not to mention its DEvaluation to 1/4 of it's original MSRP within a year . . . :p
