mobby_6kl posted:That said, as excited as I am about the new processor, my currently setup of (stock) Q6600 with a 8800GT just doesn't seem slow to me yet. The graphics card could be upgraded for some games and oveclocking the CPU would help, but otherwise it almost feels like Sandy Bridge is coming out too soon. I'm in pretty much exactly the same boat. I plan on throwing $200 at a new graphics card eventually so I can throw hdmi across the room to my a/v system, but it's not really something I need right now. C2Q and 8800GT going strong so far, though when crysis 2 comes out...

R1CH posted:Sandy Bridge is the biggest disapointment (sic) of the year 2 days in. Oh Charlie. I like how the "showstopper bug" is booting from USB3 isn't stable. Thanks for that laugh, it's been a busy morning. Linux doesn't work quite right on bleeding-edge hardware? YOU DON'T SAY!?!?!

One of our c-levels recently got an alienware (long story), and I made sure to set the leds to pink before handing it over.

movax posted:Microcenter has some nice discounts on Ivy Bridge...$170 for a 3570K, $230 for a 3770K, but if you buy a mobo with them, you can get a P8Z77-V for $130, a Gigabyte for $65 and an ASRock for $60. Shiiit, and i'm gonna be in a city with a Microcenter tomorrow. My C2Q Q9400 is still chugging along just fine though, it's hard for me to justify spending the money even though I have some free DDR3 lying around. I'm amazed that I've gotten almost five years out of a processor/mobo, recent graphics card and SSD upgrades notwithstanding.
