heh no worries man

That only goes for the desktop market that Intel has the upper hand, however that will change once their new Bulldozer FX series arrive, they already have a world record in their hands with the world's highest OC with LN2 @ 8.49Ghz .. stable
http://www.amd.com/us/pre...worlds-2011sept13.aspx

The AMD FX CPU, set to launch in the fourth quarter of 2011, achieved a top speed of 8.429 GHz, surpassing the previous record of 8.308 GHz. The record was set on Aug. 31, 2011, in Austin, Texas, by “Team AMD FX,” a group comprised of elite overclocking specialists working alongside top AMD technologists, who will also be named in the Guinness World Records.

As Opterons g this is where AMD has a head lead over Intel, the world's fastest Supercomputers use Opteron CPUs due to the much lower TDP's and better Performance per watt and performance per Node, that being that each CPU has 16 Cores, in SMP land real cores always do more than fake cores do, where HT leads to. Hyper Threading is not practical it's nice to see Intel systems with 8 threads but it's embarrassing that they only have 4 real cores. If I'd want 8 threads I'd take a real 8 core or dual 4 core setup instead ;)

But hey we all have our differences this way , I just love this place due to all the great case modding idea's the Mods Rigs section is my favorite section, so many cool stuff, everyone is creative here

@ 2CPU.com we don't care if someone fans Intel or AMD or both, it's just that; as long you are satisfied on what you have, then everything should be okay right 

 
i actually read that story the other day!.. when that CPU comes out i know that AMD will get in business for sure! :D
 
yea :).. i don't blame anyone for taking the AMD way :).. 

and yea, if anyone should be satisfied with ones hardware it is one self! :)

I got my first dualy board board back in 2004, a Tyan K8WE which no doubt was one of the first watercooled running Sli GPU's and cost best part of £400 and a couple of 265 Dual Core Opterons flown in direct from Europe which were best part of 700 quid each yet here we are today complaining about the price of SR-2 boards and Xeons lol
 
I swapped the board for a Tyan Tiger also watercooled not long after (can’t remember why) which i still have to this day and hasn’t missed a beat followed by a couple of Skulltrail and many Supermicro boards so i guess i can relate to this thread big time.
 
Well done fella............very very nice rig which brought back some great memories

hehe no worries mate, some dreams are worth keeping alive man :DI think it's the Tyan Tiger K8W or Tyan Tiger K8WE you had there :) the K8W's had AGP Pro 110 x8 and the K8WE's had 2x PCI-E  1.1 x16 for Native SLI Support
Same went for the Tyan Thunder K8W & K8WE
 
Feel free to post some pics of those beauties in here man, I have no probs with that
