1.7 Celeron D and proud of it.......Yeah i cry myself to sleep.

hahahahahaha

I used to have my 1.6 Pentium 4 in this thing, then I replaced it with that 2.2 Pentium 4.  Glad I did.

I have an AMD Athlon 64 2800+ 1.8 GHz and a retarded Foxconn motherboard... for those of you who care about my retarded motherboard - Foxconn 755A01-6EKRS

Foxconn even hates this motherboard, they dont sell it or even have it on their website anymore...

dell dimension 9100 ( which is now a xps 400) Intel Pentium D, nivida geforce 6800 256MB,2 GB of ram,
250GB hard drive, 17 inch flatscreen ultra sharp monitor, surround sound speakers with subwoofer, and a lot more top of line hardware......it is a Mac Daddy machine and it is 3.2 mhz

Not overclocked, not seen a need yet. 

Do you have to set the affinity every time you launch BF2?

WOW,talk about being outdated,i got a dell 8250 with 1 gig memory 2.53 gigahertz pen. 4 nvidia 6200 no wonder i am where i am. can not even get my knife or pistol  so i can advance in rank. oh well just keep on trying.

I still have you beat in the sucky comp department: HP Pavilion, crappy ASUS P4B266LA that bobody has any information on including the ASUS website, 2.2GHz P4 as previously stated, 512MB of RAM, Radeon 9600.  Who can top that in shittyness?

Opteron 144 @ 2.6ghz, air cooled!!!!!!!

FX-60 stock......no point in OC'ing it as it's fast enough!!

dude... that cpu is built for OCing... if u dont OC theres no point in buying the cpu since it has an unlocked multiplier

not really. the unlocked multiplier only helps if your using some extreame cooling. other than that the fx's dont go more than a few hundred mhz over stock.

its amd's design really... too bad they cant go into high mhz like intels conroe

and why would u buy an FX-60 if ur not overclocking it?

I didn't buy it.....it was bought for me as a wedding present by the missus

What I mean is that it is fast enough for me at the moment....I only got it a few weeks ago and just use it for BF2.

When the time comes that my machine is no longer kicking ass in stock mode I will consider "liberating" the Prometia mach II phase unit I discovered at work ......

can u file a divorce and can i marry your wife? she may buy me a conroe XE

overclock the fx60 to 3.0ghz w/ water cooling at least.

Wait, with all this talk abotu overclocking a FX-60 i am a bit thrown off.

I know with Intel Chips, (for the most part) a 515 and a 550 are really the same chip (read: for the most part) just with a Lower FSB/Multiplier. So the 550 is closer to the maxium clock speed that it can go, whereas the 515 still has some room to go.

So a top of the line p4 will not overclock too well, whereas the middle of the road p4s OC pretty damn well.

Is this not the same with the FX series? I thought they were shitty OCers, because so it came from the factory close to its peak clock. (which all chips have)

FX series and all amd cpus cant really break the 3.4ghz barrier. yes top of the line P4's wont OC well... coz of high multiplier (unless u got water cooling or LN2)

Conroe overclocks would be defitnantly mobo limit

pentium 3 nuff said.

The coppermine core was the very first x86 chip I used. (Macs before) Hit the 1ghz barrier. Then sputtered out (with a cap of what 1.2?)

The p3 was a very good performing chip. I still use em for a small Ventrillo Hositng server. (Linux that is)

Even Conroe has pulled some from the p3.

Lol, thats a contradiction...considering the Pentium M was based on the Pentium 3. (No netburst etc)

This is technically correct.  The Pentium-M processor has its roots from the P6 derivative cores (Pentium 3).  During its development, the design goal was to increase IPC while maintaining a low power consumption.  Since the P3 core has advanced to the point where its power consumption can be strengthened, Intel has then used this core as a starter basis.  On the downside, however, this would mean that the deficiencies inherent in the P6 design would carry over to the Banias and later cores.

The Conroe processor is a design that is almost entirely from scratch.  Basically Intel took what was problematic with the P6 design and "fixed" it, to a point.  It wasn't so much that they took the same design and added new stuff or added things to it to help increase performance.  Instead, they took the basic design and started from the ground up.  As a result of this, the processor "schematics" of the Conroe core is entirely different even though it worked the same.  This is why the early performance numbers published by various reputable websites show that the Conroe, despite the core being early in its stage, can outperform AMD's highest offering.  The processor can do more per clock cycle, outputs less heat, and is not obnoxiously clocked high to overcome a design flaw.

i dont have to on my opty 170. AMD just released a dual core patch that allows you to run any game without the afffinity shit
