Oh look, a "drive by poster"! => Justsomeguy69.
I see you haven't reached past puberty. Wonderful use of language. Are you making up for the size of something else? Maybe if you actually learn proper ENGLISH and grammar, people will be able to read the nonsense you actually type. Fortunately for me, I can read incompetent posts like yours.
(1) Who says you have to buy when every generation comes out? Who say's you can't skip upgrades every 2 years? Is someone pointing a gun to your head? Or are you just the same gulliable sheep that fall for every new thing that is coming? Its amazing how many of you are so easily manipulated into buying things...My lecturer in Business and Marketing was right, when he says "young, stupid, and gulliable...Let's make money out of them!"
Intel's co-founder, Gordon Moore, came up with a Law. Known as Moore's Law. It basically says computing power doubles every 18 months. Who says I can't wait until computing power doubles before investing? Who says I can't wait until quad-core flows down to the mainstream?
Quad-core is gonna be for the upper "enthusiast" end, when it comes at the end of this year. Who says every single person needs to buy it?
Just because some people are planning to buy Conroe, doesn't mean everyone should. You buy for what you need and understand the benefits and disadvantages of the design. Instead of basing your buying entirely from benchmarks alone. You only use benchmarks to see how much benefit you can gain and decide which is the best for the application you use for. (you won't use a Conroe based solution in an eight-core or CPU server style solution, that would be a bad idea because of the Bus design of the chipset).
(2) A new GPU (video cards) get refreshed every 6 to 12 months, such that the performance of the budget line of the new generation rivals the mainstream of the last generation. ie: GF7300GT with DDR3 is equal or slightly better than the regular GF6600, but costs a fraction of what the GF6600 was. Who says you need to buy a GF7xxx series? Why can't you skip a generation and go for the GF8xxx? (This way, if you know you'll be playing DirectX 10 games, you would have plenty of money to get a decent solution).
(3) I'm not investing in Conroe, as I fully know that Conroe is to hold AMD back while Intel works on their next generation CPU that uses CSI (Intel's version of Hypertransport). The current design is a bus based solution. As soon as you hit quad-core, the bus starts to become the bottleneck. Since quad-core is a definite future, why not invest in a design that removes that bottleneck?
Of course, you're obviously mentally incapable of seeing that, because you can't even see the forest among the trees. You (like many others), are so focused on the new tree in front of you, that you don't even see what's behind it!
Who's the "stupid bitch" that assumes I'm an AMD fan?
YOU. I own Intel, AMD and even VIA based systems.
Only young stupid cocks like yourself would jump on Conroe without thinking. You wait until supply is plenty before buying, as PC Vendors are delibrately charging a price premium for early adopters, as well as Intel needing to get rid of Pentium-D surplus stocks. They keep the prices high for now, as they want you to get Pentium-D (they have too many left over!) and prices will gradually drop as supply improves for Conroe.
Besides, waiting for a mobo that supports Kentsfield (quad-core) doesn't hurt, does it? The closer the quad-core arrives, the more likely certain mobos can handle it. This gives you the right time to pick a mobo that supports quad-core. It gives you an option to upgrade from Conroe (dual-core) to Kentsfield (quad-core).
Of course, you're simply incapable of understanding that kind of view. Maybe if you grew up and became more open-minded by thinking in a different manner, you'd understand. But I doubt that. Looking at your post again, you don't even have the mental capacity to write a coherent response, let alone thinking with a different approach.
