Reasons to go over San Diego rather than Venice...

The extra cache SD had surely an advantage over venice....
And furthermore SD overclocks great, no more subzero bug (provided u gonna put it under some phase change )

wow..
but i dont think i wanna upgrade to new proc in this 1-2years later

haha...when u r about to get the san diego...maybe another one comes out...colorado...then Toronto...then Penang...then...blablabla...
aiseh...when to buy like that...pening already

yeah..
n obviously newer proc gonna perform better than previous ones..
but one cant keep changing proc everytime new ones out..
izznt it membazir?
coz u can always OC the proc till it obsoletes
btw, by time i wanna upgrade later, dual core already affordable to low/mid range enthusiast

Wah, you guys thinking bout dual cores already so fast?

ya lorr. very membazir to follow all up-to-date technology. GDMF!! i will not going to update my rig as long as it can still be used in the future. at least, until microsoft launch the 128bit windows. muahahahass..

This will be my next line of upgrades...
That is why im staying away from venice or san diego..
But not imediately... When the price beomes ok, and when all hardware matured enough..

Yea, I agree with PCcrazy. No point upgrading to something which is almost the same. Unfortunately, up to date I haven't even got to used my A64 setup as my mobo still away for RMA

I won't be upgrading anymore too after I complete my SLI rig. If I do, it will most probably be a dual core CPU.

hmmm...r u guys saying this coz u guys got a good stepping proc or what...hehehe...
anyway...i'm also not gonna that...will wait till there's something huge happened in the proc tech...be it amd or intel...when that happen, then i will make up my mind...

Hehe i'm pretty happy with mine. Benchable at 2.8Ghz using stock cooler but temps went up to 69C. Due to the high temps I refrained from any long term stability tests. Just can't wait till my mobo returns then I can setup my water cooling and do some real stability tests instead of just benching.

oh ya...your mobo...so how did u rma it...thru ur local distro or from LYP???

San Diego is kinda pricey ..
Venice still ok compared with winchester .

If not mistaken ,De_Cruelz now at Aussie right?

i've spend almost rm4000 to my 64 rig... next year will upgrade new one... this tech haa, cannnot catchup ler... im student summore. depend on scholarship to spen on pc..

Yea, I tried to RMA at local distro and just today received some bad news from them. The RMA dept replied that since its a physical damage to the board its not covered under warranty.

I complained to them that its a manufacture fault. If the damage was caused by user due to inserting different ram slots then that means the board should never be allowed to be sold in the first place. Should that also mean that I am not allowed to change ram as often as I like? Would you or anyone call that an 'enthusiasts' motherboard?

They're giving me a load of bullshit now. As of now they have not replied my email with my complaints. I've been very nice and polite with them so far but I think I've had enough.

If they still reject my RMA I guess i'll be left with 2 options. First is to sell off the mobo to someone who can fix it themselves or they can find some other way to RMA and purchase a new one for myself. Second option would be to courier the mobo back to Taiwan which would probably cost me 1/3 the price of the mobo and wait God knows how long before they return it to me.

Sorry for venting out here. It's just so frustrating dealing with this especially after spending a huge amount of money on a crippled mobo which I only used for about 2-3 days for testing.

What kind of physical damage?

the ram slot got problem...one of connecting pin something...he mentioned that before..
from what i see it...the distro dun want to bear the cost of RMA or exchange it coz it's not they selling the board...so they just give tons of bullshits to scare u off...really sorry for u...

hihihihi...tak puas lagi ker bang????wakakkaka....i think oso wanna upgrade larr...hahahahha...

when u have fx55...u wouldnt want to oc that hi...maybe jus for fun...hey...arj is selling his...can grab la...

Yeap, that's right remysix. The distro I returned in to do sell those motherboads. In fact they're one of the main distros here in Australia I think. They're just trying being very anal about it. I've brought this issue up at dfi-street and hopefully they can influence the distro's decision. Here's the link for those interested: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10829

Be warned though that its a rather long post!
