I’m thinking upgrading around June, I’m thinking of going new Asus Mobo with SLI, but I have been hearing that the new cell chip processor that will be in the ps3 is 200 more times powerful then any processor on the market today [URL]http://www.playstation3extreme.com/PS3_Specs_Info.html[/URL] Now I cant really think that this is possible. That would make it around 300-360ghz, which I think just a fantasy for the time being. Now I know the Cell chip is supposed to be fast but I would like a good estimate of you guys. If this is true I would rather hold of until the Cell can be integrated in to PC systems.

If socket 939 is going to be replaced, what will happen to Socket 754.
Oh... What the hell is an MSP anyway? I just figured it was like an award or something.
Clearly I'm wrong. You don't need awards to remove the Scottish Parliament, you need ammo.

You'll be an MSP? I'll pay you if you find a way to get rid of the Scottish Parliament for good...
As for phase change I nearly bought a Mach 2 last week. When I go Athlon 64 I will. However, going Athlon 64 is going to be rather hellish now that it's known that Winchesters will be going on Socket 754, that the Venice cores are due in the next few weeks, that there are several new processors out, including an A64 3300+ which is a 2.2 GHz, 256 KB cache, 130 nm part AND that Socket 939 is going to be replaced in early 2006 by Socket M2. Sounds like a Toyota...
So I'm beginning to think that since the best A64 board around is probably the DFI nForce 3 250 GB one, that if I can run a Socket 754 Winchester on it then that would be the thing to do for now. Benchmarks show that the dual channel memory isn't worth the extra ratings AMD give Socket 939 and Socket M2 is going to be a DDR2 based platform.
Argh. I just want a new Socket A. We all thought Socket 939 would be, but it looks like dual core and DDR2 are going to be used to really destroy Intel performance wise. Unless of course Intel pull out the old P6 again and ramp it up Pentium M style for the desktop. Which probably will happen.

One of my mates at Uni is an MSP, and each April they get to elect people to be MSPs. He reckons I have a good chance of becoming one - last year, 70 out of the 100 who applied were accepted.
Wow, how comes?

Hehe, talking of the devil, I'm going to be nominated to be an MSP (Microsoft Student Partner) in April....sorry! :$

Never felt that way about computer hardware before.

I'm wasn't saying that they were better. I was just using them as an example, as I believe in the devil. I mean Intel. :-)
