Comment Re:Flawed analysis, I just bought a dual-core E840 (Score 1) 115

The choice between the E8400 and the Q6600 was a tough one. I could have gone either way. Quad-core is great for threaded applications like media encoding. But the E8400 outperforms the Q6600 for the majority of what I do (including Photoshop CS3). I am not convinced that threading will be widespread enough during my 3-year upgrade cycle. A common argument on the forums is that the Q6600 can be overclocked to 3GHz such that single-threaded is the same as the E8400. While I do not overclock, the E8400 supposedly can easily get to 4GHz on air. Photoshop CS3 is multithreaded now, and theres even a CUDA version coming out. http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/Photoshop/CUDAFilters4.pdf

Look lady, I show up to your house with wine and caviar and you make up some lame excuse about "sleep emailing". If you didn't want the second date, you should have just said so! I'm a Slashdotter, I'm used to rejection, there's no need to lead me on and come up with lame excuses at the last minute.

Your a self admitted slashdotter. You were Doomed the moment she opened her eyes!
