Bet you didn’t even notice
My old computer died in its sleep.
I gave it a break having worked it relentlessly for almost a month with nary a shut down. Without even saying goodbye, it simply refused to wake up the next day. A silent, final UP YOURS, YOU SLAVE DRIVING, BLOGGING, GAMING, EMAILING, SPREADSHEETING MANIAC!
For that, I’ve been compensated, rather generously, by an ever-eager-to-upgrade husband, with a new rig. Instead of just changing my dead mobo, he’s managed to somehow convince himself (I didn’t need any convincing) to switch my old Intel-ATI-Gigabyte setup to a 3500+ Athlon 64-bit chip, NVIDIA mobo, GeForce 7600GT piece of heaven.
What a betrayal.
That’s right. Give up on us, and we give up on you, beeyaawtch!

Just 1P? You should go with 2P Opteron. New Socket F stuff can go to Quad Core in the future and don’t even need to change mobo!

I think Opterons go into servers/workstations, no? I can’t even afford 2c AMD64s much less 2p Opterons hehe. Needed something to use my old RAMs also.

I’m seeing more gamers opting for dual as the ultimate gaming machine. But then again, they are at the extreme end.
