What CPU do you run?

Just a poll to see where the 2 CPU makers are standing.

I am running an E6600 Intel Duel Core Duo CPU on an nVidea 660i mobo. Looove it.

What are you guys running?

Re: What CPU do you run?

INTEL® Core 2 Duo E6600 (2 X 2.40GHz) 1066MHz FSB/4MB L2 Cache

ASUS® P5B: DUAL DDR2, S-ATA II, x16 VGA, 3 PCI etc

Does the trick.

We have the same chip

Are you overclocked at all? I tried it on mine and it got up to about 3ghz before giving up...I thought that was pretty darn impressive. However I had heard that overclocking can shorten the life of the ship so I took it back down to stock.

Re: What CPU do you run?

q6600 I use to use nothing but amd. At first because I was broke then later because they were better and cheaper. My new machine is the first to run intel since my 60mhz 286. Amd better get there act together because nothing could be worse then a intel only world.

Not sure yet. I will look at it when I get a new tower or my lappy.

Nah m8. Magnus said he could talk me through how to get it to about 3.2 iirc, but I'm not really into that. All I use it for is Jumpgate and CS:S so it performs fine as it is, for what I need.
Took me years to get around to upgrading properly. Finally got a 22" Widescreen also. I didn't believe dailatron when he said it would actually make Jumpgate Classic look worse, but it does

Cheers

Re: What CPU do you run?

I have an E6600 with an MSI motherboard.

And yes, Jumpgate Classic looks like dog crap on widescreen =/
