An X2 4400 1Mb, I just hope there are some left on monday!
Just too cheap to resist at the moment, especially with a spare lanparty NF4 expert motherboard lying around

I will have to retire my XP2500m though

I'm going to wait on conroe, I suppose I'm still an AMD fanboy since my K6-2 OCed so well :eek:

that shows my age too! Also I still haven't seen a review that I trust, I'll believe that a bottom of the range £100 conroe wipes the floor with a FX62 when someone shows me a range of folding ppd's :rolleyes:

A 1.66ghz Core Duo has you beaten

What do they get for 774's

Sure they are a vast improvement over current cpus I don't doubt that, but are they up to the hype? I'll wait a bit longer. What happened to cell processors!

They should get better ppd's as they can use the better intel SSE3 compiler.

And yes, they do live up to the hype. The top end Conroe beats an FX62 at pretty much everything at stock, and at least the ES versions overclock like hell.

Maybe next time then

I can't affford any more stuff right now
