maybe going to change my unlocked amd -> my first intel rig.. i5 750... But still.. waiting answer from AMD to fight back intel... So... lets see how it goes

but heck i5 at 5ghz.. madness, pray hard that megashadow come in fast , for the sake of i5 !!!

Nevertheless... was shocked with Aussie pricing.. supremely.. powa.. +_+"

well for 1366 you can upgrade to 32nm i9(if you got the money)..

hmm, wandering why i3 has such a low memory bandwidth

On one hand, the performance difference between the P55 and X58 chipsets isn’t very big; however, the new Core i7/Core i5 Socket 1156 processors will be a lot cheaper than the current Core i7 Socket 1366 models. The X58 chipset with a Core i7 processor is still Intel’s performance platform, but the P55 will be the good choice both in terms of price and performance while the high-end Socket 1156 Core i7 processors offer better performance than the low-end Socket 1366 Core i7 processors.

i see a forumer selling p55 board roughly at rm500++, sigh intel board always so expensive there is no northbridge in p55 n yet still as expensive as b4, i think i would go for phenom2 n save the rm200 to pump on 3dcard

guys noob question here..
only got knowledge for AMD..sorry
so want to ask whats the diff for i5 & i7?
both quad core?

look here..



and practice your self to understand those label..

saw compu-zone's price list now listing the p55 board

saw it too. look's like p55 is starting to take over p45 in main stream
chipset & system

I'l not go for a i5. The socket also is what was it? forgot.. hehehe.. Its similar to a Quad core with a P45 only its equipt with DR3. For me id rather go with a Quaddie 775 + a P45 + DDR3 rams for upgrades later. but for better upgrades better get a core i7 since i9 has the same socket.

already make up my mind hehe ...i'll get that i3 32nm first...will upgrade when great 32nm quad come along...i'm readying budget now.

32nm proc+DX11 CARD+window7 = ahhhhh! such a Perfect Storm.

pcdepot is selling i5 at RM840

if there is i3 32nm dual n quad in the same socket..

DDR3 2744 with i7 850 in ASRock P55 DELUXE

what ram is that pertonas?

G SKILL

haha just gskill? which one? maybe want to get them..
quite high clock there.. but gskill hard to get locally..

i5 750 only RM 200 cheaper than i7 920. No point buying i5 than because it also can't future proof that well.
