No not at all. But the majority of people on here are very interested in things they are never going to buy. Let’s be real, it’s a very pro AMD forum with most bashing Intel for moving forward. In actual fact when you ask the bigger posters what they are using, you very often find out that they haven’t bought anything for years.
I only take interest in something I’m actually thinking of buying.
Erm... No. This forum goes in cycles. I've seen when it was all the Athlon XP/M era, when it was the Core 2 Duo era, Sandybridge, Ivybridge, Devil's Canyon, FX and so on. People just chase whatever they feel is fastest. It's really not whatever pro brand. I remember what this forum used to be like when it was ATi vs NVIDIA. Everyone was chasing fps or image quality or both. It all goes in cycles.
Heck, I even remember one stage when this forum was even chasing the AMD server chips. Opteron and Sempron.
People are taking interest in things they may not be buying because that day may come when they see the extremely high prices they may need to shell out. There are so many scenarios to their needs and specifications.
