forget the sandy bridges tock models....... i keep dreaming of the next gen intel processors which will run win 7 games (with an extra graphics card) on real time at max specs...... or at least will be clever enough not leak ram memory
(my wishful thinking......)
i have an intel tick 920, overclocked to 3.4 6 gigs ram 3 and a gtx 570 , and it doesnt feel like the supercomoputer it is supposed to be, god it is fustrating..........
and i am not upgrading until at least 2 years..... i already swapped my ati card for a nvidia 570 and it is not much better for a card 3 years newer....... (ati 4870 x2 ).
for some reasons the nevidia cards have lots of glitches, i swapped from ati because ati drivers=crap.......nvidia has too any paramenters in the settings and gets slow and glitchy.
bloody waste of my £700 dell monitor 27 inches.... mind you 2500*1400 vertical pixels i have to scroll very little during internet...... not like those cheap 1920*1080 vertical, have to read web pages scrolling.......
oh yes .... you want to hear a joke? i have installed vista 64 when i have a win 7 64 disk because most games dont work on it........ damn windows...... they can shove their version 8 up their a**e
