Remember me building up my home computer wit the AMD 1090T Hex Core processor, extra RAM, SSD's, ect? Yeah.....that's about to change. I'm jumping ship. :D
Microcenter had a sale on the i7 950 processors for $200. My buddy picked up one and was benchmarking the hell out of my computer with the hex core. Picked up the i7 950, and am waiting to get the ASUS Rampage III GENE mobo and some triple channel DDR3.
Keeping the old mobo and 8 gigs DDR2......selling the 1090T to recoup some cost (will nearly offset the i7 950, I'm selling the 1090T for $175 shipped)......putting the Phenom 9850 back into the MOBO and am going to pick up a Coolermaster Centurion 5 case to use as a home server.
Anyone want a 1090T AMD AM3 (AM2+ socket compatible) 6 Core processor for a good deal? Used about a month, processor only......guaranteed not to be DOA. :D
Funny side note: Had my computer buddy thinking I sprang for the Intel 980x Processor (the six core I7 unlocked extreme and god awful expensive one at $1K). Sent a pic from teh store, told him since I sold my Vette and my pool table (it left today) that I'd replace them with an equally baddass item for another hobby. Hook, line, and sinker.
