  1. As said I am not biased towards any company, I just like what works best for me. And for now it seems that multi core processors are being used more. Its probably the next big thing in computers. But while I am a fan of this new 8 core, it is not a true 8 core processor by normal means. I have been told that a legitimate 8 core processor with TRUE cores would exceed the in the thousands and well above the I7 Extreme.

    I just don't like how it cant be optimized towards both company's without having to modify it. I'm thinking that if AMD CPU's were optimized for windows it would be on equal footings as Intel. I might be wrong. AMD's new CPU 9000 FX series left much to be desired, and with a mandatory water cooler, only raises prices.

  2. I've also read that Windows was not optimized for AMD, BUT there is a patch that will make it so that it will run better on AMD cpus, You just got to email Microsoft and they will send it to you, Why are they being secretive not sure. But I also know, There is a patch for games to be optimized for AMD which supposedly surpasses an Intel CPU in games. There was a test where games were patched to better use AMD CPUS, and the results did way better than expected.

    There was also a thing where Intel made it so games always sensed that it was running on an Intel CPU therefore making it run better. But when patched over, it ran even better I believe. Intel did this so people would buy their cpus over amd.

  3. I've been told that in SLI Nvidia 770's will beat out a single titian. I think I also read somewhere that SLI 780's also be near a SLI Titian. The 780 is already near the titian without it being SLI. I guess its more price point per performance.

    I do agree with you, I'd rather have one card vs 2 because its less space and less power consumed, its cheaper, less can go wrong.

  4. sounds good bud but the radeon 7970not that great of a card realy not I get these pc maximum mag every month and they do testing id really go with NVidia you can nvr go wrong with them this is what I have is a amd phenom II x4 965 3.4ghz ocd to 4ghz 16gigs ddr3 1866 coursair vengeance ram water cooling asus sabourtooth motherboard and ocz 850w psu and 2x radeon sapphire 7790s in crossfire and 74gig ssd and a regular 500gig hdd every part was bought on amazon brand new and O I have an old big green alienware case

    Please elaborate on how the 7970 isn't a great card.

    The 7970 is supposed to be one of the better cards. Based on reviews and benchmarks I'm interested as well. But Hes right about SLI and Crossfire beating out a single graphics card. More is better.

  5. If you don't mind I would like to see what you can build for me. I like to keep an open mind to see whats out there and the best deal. I've had one gaming computer before it was a quad core, but It was one of the first ones I think, I got the computer back in 06-07 ending in 06 back in November and took 3 months to piece together. I don't remember what Intel quad core it was but it was only okay. I know it was one of the higher end ones. The graphics cards I had was an SLI of Nvidia Evga 8800 GTS 640 MB Edi. I see that you build custom computers. If you don't mind helping me that is. I just know I want to keep the 8 core processor, I am really liking it. I like single graphics cards, I've had trouble with my past SLI, I like alot of storage and I want the budget below 800 if possible. That build I posted is only slightly above it. I have an OS, Monitor, And I have the most stock keyboard and mouse combo you can possible imagine.

  6. I don't have the computer yet, But this is what I will probably be going with, All parts should come in sometime next week. An AMD Based build because I like to be different when it comes to computers, PLUS the 8 core AMD really appeals to me. I just have to decide which processor I want the 8320 or the 8350.

    Whats your computer specs?

  7. D - Shotgun, Buck Shot, Stops Zombies in one shot, Wide spread for maximum amount of damage, Strangely in Black Ops both 1 and 2 shotguns suck.

    D - Cross Bow, Because Darryl Dixon Uses it. No lol, Easily recoverable arrows.

    B - Katana, Easily the best melee weapon of all history, Can easily chop limbs and heads off, can go though armor.

    B - Flashlight, Only move around at night if its absolutely necessary, Otherwise don't, Flashlight's light will attract zombies, Essential in areas not in Moonlight, or Artificial Light.

    A - Hummer, Protection from elements, Can be hot wired. 4WD for those pesky zombies that get in your way, plus when blood comes from zombies it will be better. Overall Protection and more humans to transport at one time.

    and I just started playing Runescape 3... it just came out 2 days ago.. runescape is moving to HTML 5 I played the beta and the graphics are amazing. for a web based game. ( their probably moving client though)

    How is the new Runescape I never got into it cause of the graphics held me back quite a bit.

    I recently started playing maplestory again, because right now its the only game my computer can handle. They sure changed it from when I played it years ago, Everything alot easier.
