Sodding hell. I dont have a conroe after all?

[Jabbs]

My 6300 sits nicely at 3.10 gig, i was just trying to make a point though.

Intel FANBOYS? Bwahaha, this is my first Intel chip after 9 years of using a PC

Same here

Have always used AMD and on occasion tested out the intel Waters, but never been at all impressed.

I get hold of a Fujitsu P4 3.6 and was blown away by just how naff it was, but it was a steal at the price and it was only a couple of months old, so I had to.

Still had the idea that Intels were junk.

That soon changed once I got my DS3

The 3.6 is floating at 4.3 right now, but its been to 4.7.

I have now got a 6300 and a second DS3 but am stuck at this time with poor ram, but still, even at stock, the C2D is a bloody monster.

I still have my AMDs as my main rigs and for the forseeable future they will still be my main rigs, so, I would say that I am still an AMD user over an Intel, but thats purely cos I cant be bothered swapping all my bits round, and the stuff I have on the AMDs is all setup perfectly etc.

 

[Jabbs]

Ive always previously used amd no fanboy here i just buy whats best at the time, this time round intel is the chip to own.

 

[Roughneck]

Ill use wich ever chip is the faster at the moment.

Venice 512K- Sandiego 1MB ?????

Still the same chip just different cache. No one seemed bothered by this at the time????

So why the big fuss over a bloody name? the chip is called a bloody core 2 Duo anyway

I think its the old arguement where people with the lesser CPU are often beating the bigger CPU, and so those with the bigger CPU dotn like it, so they need to pick on something, in some kind of vain attempt at justifying the price they paid... Which is a bit thick I think.

I mean, I got the 6300 and its a C2D as you say, its an Allendale, but a few times now, I have mentioned that I got a conroe and I have been slagged down by poeple telling me its not a conroe...

End of the day, I really dont give a frreaky fat flying f. What its called, its still a great CPU and by far, the fastest CPU I have ever owned... Calling it a Lada all of a sudden wont make it go any slower.

Completely agree with you (apart from the fact I bought a 6400 before a 6300 was available) but what gets to me is that Intel themselves have referred to the whole E6*00 range as Conroe, yet some on here still want to deny it - laughs

 

[Reality|Bites]

Is it that Conroe sounds cooler or something. Where's the problem? lol

 

[joeyjojo]

Totally correct, but a little pedantic from Intel. They have 4mb of cache, but half is disabled. The fact that the cache is there makes it a Conroe apparently, even though it doesn't function!

 

[FatRakoon]

So, this is like I keep telling the missus... Its 12" but 11" is disabled.

Like I said though before... the 3800 v the 4400 at the same clock do jobs 100% the same.

Clock a pair of C2Ds to the same Multi/FSB and you will find the same on those too I recon.
