Wow. I have always strongly disliked Intel chips but.

Hot damn.

Wow, that is pretty damn fast.

But the main question is (being an Intel chip), did it melt down due to extreme temperature?

I am so behind nowadays.

I remember when my Barton core 2500+ and 9800 Pro were the shiznit.

That was only two years ago as well

Did you see the badass cooling system he had on it? Looked like a cinder block. Just metal.

Same, I remember when my 3.0 GHz new shiny Pentium 4 and 9800 Pro crapped on Shannon's computer (like 3 years ago)

On a totally unrelated subject, I hope that decent DX 10 graphics cards will be out before Vista (when I plan to upgrade)

i'm just waiting for the page to load with my 56k...

10 minutes so far

edit: done i don't get it what's with the white box?, How fast is it?, How much mb of ram

i just looked thru an air vent on my pc and it had the same intel sticker as the one on the 4th picture on that website

1. The white box is what the processor is inside of.
2. It's damn fast.
3. 2 GBs

When I read the OP and it said that pi was calculated to a million decimal places in 10 seconds, I wasn't impressed. Mainly because I've nothing to compare that with. It may as well have said 1 second or 100 seconds.

So I downloaded that Super Pi program to see how fast it took my computer. 41 seconds on my Athlon64 3500+!

I'd be interested in seeing how it did in more relevant real-world tests. I don't think that calculating digits of pi is much of a benchmark.

If you mean what I think you mean then no, the PC has 2GBs of ram not the CPU, the processor is just a standard to range intel overcloxked by over 60%.

Intel Core 2 and Core 2 EE are really quite amazing processors.

What I dig is how the E6300 (~$183 USD) can easily OC to speeds that enable it to cream the AMD FX62.

Good things: AMD will be forced to lower the price of the X2, and they're going to be forced to come out with something really with equally as friggin awesome performance.

I just run that test. Got a time of 2minutes 56 seconds. So his computer is only 18 times faster then mine....Bastard...
