Been doing me well just starting to see its limites

But for me be hole new ram mobo and cpu more then likely GPU
 
this is probably a stupid question but oh well, is Barcelona going to be on skt AM2 or on AM3? and is this the beginning of the new K8L chips or are they comming out later on?

i believe AM2 and AM3 are pin compatable, so it works on both, though if you run it on AM2 board you run on DDR2 and AM3 runs DDR3 and HT3.0, barcelona IS K8L

If it will run on an AM2 board that will be a real brucie bonus and a big win for AMD - I think a lot of people will make the switch if that is the case :)
 
When are the desktop versions released? since ive waited so long already, dont think ill go with conroe now.. might aswell wait for barcelona! only some months away?

hopefuly these clock as good as conroes. But what about the DDR3? i heard the latency is going to be rubbish on that ram :(

I already knew that AM3 chips would work AM2 boards so I made the right decission a few months ago to go for AM2, furture upgrades made easier. Thank you AMD!!
 
k10/K8L will be in many forms
quad core
and dual core

the dual core will still have the 2mb l2 cache
k10/K8L isnt just barcelona
 
K10 != K8L. K10 is AMD's next-generation microarchitecture and very little is known about it. Their "Fusion" chips could possibly be the first incarnation of it.

i think you shall find K10 is NOT K8L, and barcelona is infact K8L in the opteron quad-core flavour, with kuma being the athlon desktop dual core variant and agena being desktop quad-core variant, no details at all about K10 have been put forth as of this time

why do half of the reviews call it k10 and the others say k8l :confused:

Well originally people called it K8L. Then apparently AMD have said it is K10 but no one seems sure.
Best just call it Barcelona and Desktop derivatives so there is no confusion... :)
