Couple of hundred bucks depending on which one you get.

Why?

I was just curious. I love, love, love my Mac.

I'm worn out on MacBooks.

I've only done 2 towers in the last 2 months.

The towers are awesome.

I'm sorry, LTR. *hug*

LTR is pissed at me because Pete has me looking at eight core processors.

What do you have now, Sean?

 

[Sean]

What do you have now, Sean?

Six core AMD 3.2 GHz. I'm looking at an eight core 4.0 GHz. Surprisingly cheap.

 

[John Doe]

He's referring to the Intel processor inside your Mac.

You still waste your money on Intel?

You built your own, didn't you?

 

[Sean]

You built your own, didn't you?

Yeah. And I've never stopped adding and upgrading bits and pieces.

Is that the FX8? I think I recall Intel said it would be coming out with one soon.

Quite a nice lump of silicone at that price.

Pricey compared to the U.S. cost: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD8350FRH...8458&sr=8-1&keywords=AMD+FX8350+Black+Edition

ETA: not that pricey. Thought the fX rate was more.

I think that comes out to about $55 USD.

I'm juicing up an old Dell Dimension 4600 and I find RAM for it is selling $7/GB. 5 years ago it would have cost upwards of $70/GB.

Shame the motherboard can't take more than 4GB.

Laurel said all GB threads go downhill after eight pages. I'm going to need less civility and more tossing of RAM at each other, please.

I'll wait over here, by my Mac laptop.

I have an HP Pavilion Laptop with Intel Core 2, It runs Windows Vista and hasn't been upgraded with anything since I bought it off the shelf way back in 2008 or whenever. . .

I'm happy with a junker, it only has to run Word, Excel, Photoshop and Autocad. And it doesn't need to do those fast or fancy.


That should explode the geek's and techhead's heads.

Don't you have an issue with coal dust clogging the keys when you stoke it?

I scoff in yours and your Mac's general direction.

Thank you for trying to derail the thread. Seriously, eight pages of tech talk civility? We'll develop a reputation.
