[Poll!] Do you own a bulldozer? [no discussion going on here just poll!]

[remyat]

I could only pick one.

I didn't try but:

thank you, smartpatrol, for voting on every single option

sorry, couldn't help myself when I saw it had check boxes instead of radio buttons.

There are more votes than voters and the poll uses the # of voters as "100%" not the total # of votes.

FWIW, threads can be merged and the poll of thread A can become a poll of Thread B while Thread B's OP is retained in the merge.

If you really want no conversation here, because of the other thread, then just ask for them to be merged and it can be done in a jiffy.

either way is fine with me, I don't care. I was just trying to avoid the "two discussions exact same topic" problem

 

[ThatsABigOne]

No. Not interested at all. Waiting for Haswell, or even Broadwell.

I'm fairly confident this community possesses the cerebral capacity necessary so as to effectively and efficiently manage itself when faced with the challenge of posting in two threads on two topics that are somewhat related

Personally, I blame the sitting mod (Markfw900) for this, because we use to be much less composed, as a community, and in dire need of the net-nanny mods to keep us from flaming each other at the drop of a hat.

Mark made all the difference, and I am making it a goal to sing his praises daily, every day in fact, precisely at 1am from now until the end of this year, whichever comes first

Who's with me?

 

[Idontcare]

Is it me, or are the percentages borked. 46+48+9+9+5+2+7 is 126% alone (rounding)

What's borked is AMD if these numbers are at all indicative of their future marketshare with Bulldozer. (which its not, we are jaded enthusiasts that loves us some hateraid)

We got 6 people willing to face embarrassment of owning a BD, or willing to lie and claim they do...and a bunch of folks that probably voted with enthusiasm to say they don't or won't :|

Here's mine. Need to push some dirt around on all my land.

 

[SlitheryDee]

I'd only use it if AMD somehow makes it faster than SB. Since that is an indefinite possibility, I'm staying away indefinitely.

I have no pride left. :$

Actually not certain if this 6100 handicaps me or not - I use quite a few Excel files, none of them is really very large - 9 collumns x 90 rows, so no real issues there. My CPU needs are actually not real extensive - I just update my systems from time to time out of interest, not need.

The place that I do get some stand by time is when I load up job files in to a blueprint estimating program that I use - this occasionally has some fairly extensive TIFF's and XML files involved.

 

[ErickMaga]

I have one.

Oc's like a champ.

2011 is over, the praise train is done

Same here.
Haswell for me without question. Maybe even Broadwell.

That said, that is enough time that if BD improves enough, and offers the situation we had with PhenomII 955/965BE (great bang/buck) at the time of Haswell or Broadwell then I'll definitely consider it.

I've had good luck with both Intel and AMD rigs. My FX-55 rig is still running (and running Windows 7 well), to this day. Yorkville from the FX55 was a great decision too, worth every penny.

My view on BD today isn't nearly as negative as all the people here. I like the chip, and think it was the right general direction to go for AMD in the server market which is where the focus should be IMO. It just needs time/refinements.
