Everything is in (kinda)!!!

In separate news, AMD has started shipping the Opteron line of Bulldozer chips. That means the consumer parts should show up any day now.
There are rumors that the server chips are going to precede the desktop chips by a good while due to yield issues.
Hell, even if they do take a while to hit the shelves, my balance of aid check still might not make it before then. Not sure why, but a shitload of peoples loan/grant money still hasn't come in yet. I was worried that it might push me ever closer to buying a 2600k based system with the Sandy Bridge enthusiast chips being released shortly after, but Intel just shat out another wave of Sandy Bridge with lower TDP. I don't see Intel doing that then having another socket come around for a couple more months.
Bad part about it though is that it seems the 2600k rose 30 bucks in price to accommodate the new stuff.
There are also rumors that AMD can't get Bulldozer to clock high enough to demolish i7. I just want it because A.) it will inevitably be better than Phenom IIs, B.) be more than enough for my needs, C.) 8-core FX-series bragging rights, and D.) because I still only have one core right now.
I refuse to sell out to Intel, they get more than enough support. Deserved support, but somebody has to keep the competition running. :)
Fake E: Fuck that new smiley.
Intel? Don't you mean Chipzilla? ;)
It's unfortunate that Bulldozer has taken so long actually, it's supposed to be the competitor for Sandy Bridge. Sandy Bridge has pretty much lived out its life already and people are already looking towards Ivy Bridge, and what has AMD done? Not even release a competitor chip yet. That means while Bulldozer chips are finalized and the kinks are worked out of motherboard designs, Intel got over that B3 revision SATA 2/3 fiasco and many other revisions to B3 have already been made.
EDIT: First post from upgraded system btw, trying to figure out why enabling SLI causes my system to reboot... Read it was a BIOS issue so I updated but that's not it. Still haven't installed all Windows Updates yet though (installing SP1 now), so hopefully that sorts it. I did (stupidly) install a driver version that I had trouble with pre-upgrade, so this might just be my fault for being ignorant of the signs...
Whoop whoop whoop!
My replacement GTX 470 that replaced my replacement GTX 285 that replaced my original GTX 285 needs to be replaced! It's defective, as tested by me over the course of 6 straight hours, 6+ driver versions, as many expansions slots combinations as I could manage, and confirmation by EVGA.
They're sending me a pre-paid shipping label again since this is the second replacement that lasted a month before kicking the bucket.
Time to try ATI again mb? That's three blown cards now.
Since Nvidia and ATI just provide the GPU which is very unlikely to break, you should just try another company that actually builds the card itself. Though EVGA should be one of the best :D
I use Zotac...a chinese company which never broke down on me so I'm fine xD
