Ok Today I am scouting around for Phenom in LYP.. and guess what? NO stock.. damn.. So no choice have to follow the Intel way.

the whole malaysia no stock FARK

Thats ok, I bought a Gigabyte P35 DS3L aleady. So .... now waiting for the right candidate for my Proc. Either E8400 or Q6600.

Price wise, not much diff As i can get the Q6600 around 900 and E8400 around 700++ RM Which one do you guys think more better for today's Apps and Games?

PS : I have found a suitable buyer for my AMD Proc and Mobo

more & more games and applications are optimized to use 4 cores within a year or more
games = dual core
applications = quad core

if you wan to have high frame rates in games now or maybe until 2009 go for E8400 and OC till 4Ghz above~~
reviews already proved that quad cores still loses to dual core in terms of gaming.

if you wan to edit photos, videos, folding etc etc base applications then you should go for quad cores because these applications now are utilizing all 4 cores

anyway the choice is in your own hand

i say E8400 is more worth it than Q6600. u can OC 4ghz easily with E8400. thats 4 100% gaming. if u do a lot of adobe editing n other applications, then quad 6600 is 4 u.

I juz know that E8400 (dual core) is better than Q6600 (quad core) in gaming.
What cpu cooler u use to 100% overclock the E8400.

E8400(3ghz at default) 100% overclock is 6ghz.

never knew it would reach 6 GHz ......with an air cooler summore???????????

Ok folks... I got my hands on my E8400 at 735 RM LYP, this thing is smoking hot..... lot of shop run out of stock, and don't want to sell except in Package.

Can't wait to pair it with my Xigmatek.. Any tips on how to apply Thermal Paste for Intel?

adui... he was trying to say the term "100%" is way impossible ler...
in the penryn OC thread ppl no reached 4.5 ghz stable so far... but there's one OC team in LYN reaching 5ghz...

now thats hot....did they use dry ice like KOC?????

liquid nitrogen 2 b precise

Liquid Nitro can be colder than Dry Ice ... u be suprise it would go up to 50 to 100 degrees below 0.

some result with 3870x2 under ln2 last weekend with T_M from Team.AU
