Nope, I played wow for about 6 weeks when it was released in 2004 and never really touched it again.

Ohh what desk is that?

The amount of additional software running when my other half is raiding is insane. There's always some kind of voice app for the guild as well as Firefox for some info on the particular raid. She also runs a few WoW add-ons as well. So although her attention may be locked exclusively on the game, her system is running more than just said game. And it's the same with all MMOs. Us FPS players have no need for other things running alongside the game, but MMO players do and that's where you'll get the benefit from having as many cores as possible.
Hell, if in some mythic future the latest MMO maxes 8 cores, you're gonna need at least another 2 just to run the voice apps and add-ons!

It's only 3.61 roentgen.
Also at the time I was building a hella big custom water cooled system( project 0001 here on the forums ), and was always tinkering. That was in 2009.
I still have that case, and system inside of it! Athlon 64 3200+, 1GB RAM, 6600GT ( replaced the 4800Ti it had ). It's still alive and kicking as well.
Just done some googling to avoid work, it wasn't that case but the one before, Thermaltake Xaser II - Complete with window and blue cold cathodes. Athlon XP 2500+ and a Radeon 9800 pro. The joys of disposable income when living at home!

wow got a masisve boost with dx12, i7 4 cores were like a new PC all together lol. and then theres Eve Online..... multiple clients ....

I'll need to check if she's turned DX12 on. Anything to try and help extend the life of her 1090T
I had the blue cathodes myself, but never used them.
Sadly my 2500+ got fried when I tried my first ever overclocking. Took the motherboard back for a replacement, and they accidentally gave me a brand new AMD Socket 754 motherboard.
Didn't notice until I got home, and decided..."Well, might as well get on these brand new Athlon 64 processors so".

Just to clarify, because your posts can be read as if your other half is your "second" PC, she is human, right?I'll need to check if she's turned DX12 on. Anything to try and help extend the life of her 1090T

I was referring to another human, yesSame here mate.
Like many of you I have no real use for 12C. But 4C8T is not enough anymore, and I am looking for best possible single-thread performance. Strong feeling that by virtue of being 3 core per CCX (more L3 cache per core) and better binned thatn 6C models, the 3900X will be the kind of sweet spot.

Get outta here with that crazy sci-fi level computer usage! Everyone knows the only true gamer has a system like this still!
Dual core at most, single monitor, and at Most runs Ventrilo while gaming.
I'm very excited to see how the 3900X 12 core manages. Should be a fantastic upgrade over my 6 core.
Even now it has issues in games as old as GTA V. Been playing that recently, and maxed out ( MSAA x 4 for all incl reflections ) graphics, and advanced settings turned on, I get 45-57% GPU usage.
I remember reading that even back when it launched the game liked more Cores.
With consoles going AMD Zen2, and likely 8 core + HT; and Microsoft allowing their Game pass to bring console exclusives to PC; won't be long before 8 core seems the norm for decent performance.
Good Grief how nostalgic is that? in fact i had that very Microsoft Keyboard in the early 2000's
What a blast from the past that thing is. thanks for the memories

depends what you do. If you don't do anything that requires 12c then yes it is overkill.

How long before we say the same about current tech we own?
It's been nearly two decades since the CPU market felt this exciting.

Is that my old 1090T? I dunno why but every time you mention it I think it's my old one (sold on mm here) great cpu that was.
Soldato
Nah, it was a fleabay job after lots of running around with a scammer. I don't even think I had MM access when I bought it

Time to do a quick search then
still an awesome cpu for it's time imo. Upgraded to it from a q6600 for more cores on the virtual lab. Went from that to a 16c/32t 1950x... massive upgrade that was. Edit... sold it in 2017 to @pandem0nium
