what CPU do you guys have?
 

anyone with a quad core or quad core extreme? if so which one.

qx9775 looks nice

I have a QX6700 in my "new" desktop. It's reasonably fast, and I have no need to spend thousands on my desktop; I don't do much locally, anyhow.

I have the q9300 core 2 quad
pretty fast
I wanted the q9450 but it wasn't available anywhere

running a amd athlon 64 x2 dula core 6000+ in my desktop.

Q6700 Quad Core

Q6600 Quad Core

New Q9450 looks nice. Going to pick one up when they are finally in stock everywhere.

i have a 9500+ quad core

8086 Yeahhhhhhh

An oem quad core Q6600/SLACR I picked up on ebay for $184. Around $220 at newegg for a boxed retail version.

I have a Q6600 in my desktop but I'm considering swapping it with the "lowly" E2200 in my mysql server since my desktop doesn't do much more than browsing and the occasional large image in photoshop...

overclocked 600MHz amd here :pimp

I have a qx6700, a q6600 and an e6600 dualcore. I'm about to upgrade the 66 to one of those fancy new 45nm chips. Probably a q9450. The price is nice and it overclocks to the same speeds as the more expensive ones.

p4 2.9 lol

lol everyone has quadcores these days and im just upgrading to core2duo now.

I don't have one. Still using an abacus.

q6600 quad in my 2 main machines. but i have to admit, i also have two atari 520st and an amiga500 for playin' "turrican" in the basement.

Q6600 is my main...

q6600 here

why pay over $200 for a CPU, I got my Q6600 for a little over $200 and instead of a $400+ CPU I'll just spend $200 every year on a CPU. It was tough to pass on the E8400 but I figure I'll be doing enough video encoding to be worth the extra 2 cores over clock speed.

Just got my dual core about 7 months ago..guess next year

e6600

I've had it for like 2 years already and looking solid enough for another year or so before I need to upgrade. Goes nice with my 8800GTS.

That's what I got - combined with 4gigs of RAM. Vista is no problem for me.

core 2 quad - all the way!

Bought a new E8200 (45nm process/6MB L2 cache) a couple of hours ago.

I got a 8400 cpu Im happy with it. Waiting to go to quad when vegas 8.1 comes out it will deal with it better.

im using Q6600 Quad Core

Pentium D 930 3ghz - Dual Core

Bought it like 3 years ago. Works just fine. Will upgrade when I build another pc. This one will keep the Pentium D930 3ghz.

Pentium3 800Mhz - my laptop
AMD 3100+ Sempron desktop 1
Pentium 4 w HT 1600 desktop 2
Celeron 400 desktop 3

you people ...

0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0

how much faster can i get...

I don't know what it means but I've got a Core 2 Extreme QX6850 coming next week ...
8GB Ram
Dual 500GB 7,200 RPM SATA2 16MB Cache Hard Drives in a Raid 0 (Striped) Array
Triple XFX nVidia 8800GTX 768MB Video
850Watt Power
Vista Ultimate 64-bit (I know, I know...)

Hey, he was a good salesman
:pimp

e8400 here

Will be in the market for a new box in about two months...worth waiting for something new to come out or is quad core the shit right now?

I just finished building my new desktop and it is running...

# AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Windsor 3.2GHz Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core Processor

lol copied from newegg :/

e6600 here, dunno why I'd need a faster CPU right now.. I have 18mbit into my apartment now though, so I guess that does lag things a bit sometimes.. ;)

I have the 9650 running vista right now. It's plenty fast and my only complaint is more about how vista behaves with zips and folders over windows xp. But speed wise it's just as fast as xp.

I am about to watercool the thing and overclock it.

You know that RAID0 is not fault tolerant? If either of the drives fail, you'll lose all of your data.

(Technically it's not a complete loss, you may be able to restore some small files that occupy less than a full stripe on the remaining working drive, but it's a lot of manual and expert work to do that...)

q6600 quad core like the majority :)
