AMD Phenom X4 Compared to Intel Core 2 Duo in Crysis
There has been a lot of hype surrounding both the AMD Phenom X4 and the AMD RD790. Testers combined both, violated a couple NDAs, and pitted them against current offerings from Intel in one of the most stressing games of all time: Crysis. The chart, if true, speaks for itself...

and no i dont think a 7900GT can beat a X1950Xt but i was trying to prove btarunr wrong about the X1950PRO he posted which is killed by the 7900GT. they do have it right cause someone on this forum has the 24PP card and i saw the riva tuner pick showing 24pp enabled :D if nibitor would have read his BIOS in and saved it i might even have been able to flash mine to that seeing how its also a G71 core and they have the simliar PCBs
I understand your point yes, there are tho 24pp 7800's albeit limited editions, mainstream you are prob right.
BTW does anyone know about when Phenom releases in the US markets?

is it MY computer, or can anyone else see it?
Kinda of subject i keep hearing that the 680i mobos will not support INTELS 45nm. Is this true ?. There fore you will have to buy a x48 mobo.
it shouldnt be lazer cut its supposed to be a G71 GS core with the extra quad/rop shut off i just cant find a 7900GS agp BIOS or gainward bliss G71 bios either...

Check sys specs. Also is it really worth the upgrade from my current C2Q Q6600?
The Wolfdale E8400 looks a neat deal. And I was contemplating on buying a E6850 soon.
Ive actualy been waiting for a decently priced mobo with all the bells and whistles from either Intel or AMD so i can upgrade to the Quad path when the prices arent too ugly for penryn or phenom (second revisions)...
The X38 Asus P53 (i think thats what its model name, too lazy to double check) has big over clock potential and stability. As for the AMD mobos, i might as well wait for a last time till January for the AMD790FX with the SB700. If that SB700 doesnt pull through well, i might flop back over to the blue team if their price is within a 50 dollar spread of cost difference.
Ha, once the mobo is bought ill be fine with an entry dual core and over clock it till the Quad cores get dirt cheap when the Octo cores are introduced.
But my system-case is an ugly-duckling, a 2004 CM Centurion. I've maintained the same case this long because it's proved to be lucky with my lan-parties. Changed three sets of hardware into this case. In the middle I'd chosen a CM Ammo, that year I was eliminated out of IGL (Indian Gamers' League) in round 1. Reverted back to the old case, PGL (Premier Gamers' League) Rank 1 (2006), PGL 2007 due next month. Every other LAN-party hosted by friends over the weekend, I get requests not to participate and be a server-admin (monitoring foul-play) instead....they're tired of monopoly by me :D.
