6860fx, need new cpu suggestions.

Stating facts with no sources eh? how does that work? I actually own a chip from the seller and you dont so I am about 100 steps up on you there. You have no links to prove what your saying, yet everyone else going up against you is wrong. While it would make sense that it is an ES and I admit that in my last post if you bothered to read it.

I have not looked at that link since the last time I purchased from him, and it stated nothing about being an ES at that point, so I had no idea it had changed, sorry for not checking that page every day since I bought it so I wouldnt "mis inform" someone.

This is all "speculation" on your part, you have no proof at ALL.

 

i bought mine because it was the fastest chip for my machine (at the time-2 months ago. ) and i was not really happy with the t9300's response time. (personal opinion).

i have way to many programs running and multiple windows open at any one given time. and i need my machine to be able to adapt to any given situation thrown at it. my field of work. (problem solving) and the x9000 did that. and im only barely running this chip. i need to over clock it to at least 3.4. people talking about heat running at 2.8 or 3.0 are really in trouble then! better get that heat stuff under control so you can move up 400 mhz should we find the right stuff to make that a reality. (x9000/x9100 in gateway fx laptops only)

 

yeah I need a thermal pad, I just am letting this aluminum foil pass me over till I get some cash, just got an underage drinking ticket lol so I got no mooolah

 

Feel better about yourself, yet?

You didn't even pay any attention to what those other people "going against me" were saying were you? Just busy sitting there thinking about your ego.

One said it's impossible to make fake chips. When I pointed out how the chips are real and the credentials are fake another person backed me up and said that these are ES chips.

That person on top of saying these are ES chips said that ES chip owners are proud to own them and that I was wrong to think otherwise. I had to point out that other ES chip owners (you) were pretending to have chips they didn't have. After I pointed out that error, no response.

Should I go on? Maybe your problem is that you're not actually reading anything and that your main source of information is your vivid imagination. You should read what people post before trying to pretend they are drawing sides. They are doing the right thing by trying to make sure facts are stated.

Keep trying to discredit me if you want. You're really only looking out for yourself now and have totally turned the topic off course.

 

i know you got a few dollars left in paypal...get it from ebay or they dont have the right one??

 

Ready and drooling for the opertunity. 3.4gHz is my target, but i'll take anything over 3.0gHz honestly. And i would like to know the temps running at 3.6gHz just to see if i could keep it stable enough to actually use.

I remember it blowing my mind when they introduced a 200 mHz cpu. I though that was the fastest thing that would ever be created on earth

 

We should all come together for the "Nars' thermal pad fund"

Totally! I'm chomping at the bit, myself.

 

yes...i remember them days as well.... 2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2 years ago....lol (speculation of course)

 

um does the pattern show that a t8300 will drop to 100$?

 

I actually feel the same as I did earlier this morning when I got up

I love hearing you just talk about me, makes me "feel better about myself"

I actually think your just skipping my posts but I do state that it would make sense if mine was an ES. Your "theory" and his are noted.

I hope everyone likes me now that I am pretending to have something I dont. What is this highschool? stop lecturing me about this psychological BS. Here are what Kamin and Dook said

They were agreeing with em on the fact that you cannot FAKE a chip, it would not be worth it in the longrun.

More about me again, I feel just great about myself again

Ha ha I will, you are the most ignorant person I have ever met. I stated in my last post, and ill say it again. At the time of my purchase about 2 months ago there was NO evidence to support this chip not being an retail chip. The new light shed by jonhkss and yourself prove the point that this MAY be an ES, plus the seller is now saying that he is selling ES's. I was going on what info I had at the time and was not deliberately trying to misinform another.

yet your STILL talking about me and not the CPU issue which is what this thread is about in the first place. not ethics or my ego on an online forum, which I honestly could give two ****s about. I have a real life so I am going to go on with it, just loving it cause I know now all you think about is me

 

LOL, that's just sad.

 

and I think its sad you just think about me

just make an on topic post because I ranted about going off topic, go for a T9300, looking bak I would have done that, since im having heat problems and all...

 

So I've heard a lot of mixed things... basically what I'm between now is a t9300 or x7800 as they are closest in price(about $5 difference with shipping). Right now I'm thinking that the x7800 would be more beneficial because I plan on having this lappy for at least two more years, unless my manager pisses me off an I decide to throw it down the stairs and cash in on my service plan early, anyways I like the x7800 because it allows me to OC if I decide it is needed, which I may have to do because I am studying electrical engineering and am unsure as to how many things I'll need to be running such as CAD programs and the like. Any agreements or arguments? Thanks again for all the input.

 

This of course, is just my opinion, but I recommend going with the x7800. Youre gonna get more for your money. Even moreso if johnksss can get the BIOS multiplier unlocked. The T9300 is one AWESOME processor, thats undisputed, but the x7800 gives you 500mhz more for free right now and possibly a GHZ+ more in the future. Although it's possible your crotch may be set ablaze at over 3.2ghz.

In all seriousness, I predict that with proper undervolting and AS5 applied, the highest temps we'll see at 3.5ghz(if this can even be reached) will be 85C, which is pretty warm, but still within specs. These temps, of course, are only applicable with a torture test such as Orthos running. I would imagine mid 70s while doing anything else processor intensive such as gaming, encoding, etc and upper 30s to low 40s while idle.

 

You can't make a bad choice with the processors your considering, as long as you understand exactly what your buying.

That makes no sense but at least you're being consistant.

 

Thanks for all of your help guys(even the high school drama mixed in) I plan on ordering an x7800. It will be UV'd and eventually OC'd when I feel I need it.

 

im ordering a t8300 but i got all the information to decide here too thanks

 

whoa....your the second best buy employee to actually say they we're one. thumbs up to you sir!

your gonna love your x series chip like the rest of us do.

edit: alright! which one of you talked to a gateway employee around here..... seems they heard i got my laptop fixed and my said box for return never got shipped!....LMAO*

 

well another thread went astray, however the information is there
i see everyone found his own, enjoy your chips gentleman.

 

You can't get a retail x7800 chip for that price. When giving advice you need to err on the side of caution and be 100% honest. The seller says this is an ES chip. There is no argument you can make to prove this otherwise, and that burden of proof is on you. It is what it is, sorry you're so emotional about the whole thing but, to say it's anything else is to be dishonest.

Anyway, it has been a pretty good thread other than the emotional BS. But that's what happens when people take a search for the facts as a personal attack.

 

Not sure about patterns but i've seen them go for as low as 105 on ebay, so you might get a really good deal

glad to see your going with the upgrade. Your going to fall in love with your machine all over again. Hope you got a good price on it.

Also undervolt it if you will. I want to see if it will actually run cooler than the t9300's when undervolted.

 

anyone know if Intels new quad core Penryn mobile processor will be compatible with the 6860 when it is released? it would be overkill but its always fun to dream.
i just got my 6860 yesterday from bestbuy, after i get it paid off im probably going to jump in on the t9300 bandwagon

 

There arent any mobile quad core penryn CPU's going to be released. The only mobile quad cores are the Centrino 2 (montivena) CPU's and they wont work in our machines. The x9000 is top of the line for us.

Best Buy is still selling 6860's? How Much (if you dont mind my asking)

 

psst...montevina is the chipset. penryn is the cpu. centrino 2 is the combination of intel chipset/cpu/wireless card.

 

i might hold that thought for a minutes...*LOL*. i was thinking the same thing...till i seen this.....

http://ark.intel.com/cpu.aspx?groupID=35562
http://ark.intel.com/platforms.aspx?fam=33216&mode=true&platform=33217

looks like answer is a no for quad

http://ark.intel.com/cpu.aspx?groupID=36727&code=qx9300

 

My store is selling the display model for $717 or something like that....

 

ah thats what i get for relying on outdated google pages, this is one of the articles i was going off of. got my hopes up to, everyone is talking up the new amd quads in the new desktops soon to be released, it would be nice to tell them i got them beat with a intel quad in my lappy.

the local bestbuys around here are dropping the 6860s, the one i got was a floormodel for 999.99$, only 10days used with just the basic bestbuy UI

 

@diablo85

bah humbug

well i've been up for 29 hours so i'm off to bed for a 4 or 5 hour nap until the next boat arrives. Its appearent that i no longer thing straight

 

yeah man go for that, thats a killer deal. I wouldnt pay double for a screen up grade, "faster" ram, and a 9800m GTS.

 

Guys,

Stay on topic and there is no need for name-calling or insults. Some posts have been deleted.

 

I got a new one in the box for $810.

 

lucky! lol i got the used display model for 999, cant complain though, other than a slow processor these machines are well built from what i can tell so far with mine. that extra 180 woulda been nice though, i need office 07 for school and i went over my 1000$$ limit by a lil bit when they tossed on ny's .08% sales tax... blah.

 

.08%, so only $.08 tax for every $100 spent?!?!?!? lol I know what you meant sorry couldn't leave it alone

 

lol, i wish it was $.08 per $100. but now that i think about it, the total was 1104, i wonder if bestbuy smacked me with a restocking fee on a discontinued model XD

 

wow those are all still really good prices... alot better than the 1250+tax i paid. But on well thats the risk of buying technology (soon its outdated)


As to Office 07... You "had" to have office 07? you could have downloaded Open Office for free and given youteh same features and more

 

Open office ftw!!!

 

some of my classes are using office 07 only for inclass assignments, personally i would be happy with 03

 

Well... I just ordered a T9300 for $210 shipped from ITXchange on October 1st and it arrived today (the 3rd) FROM CANADA ***?. I just installed the proc a min ago and enjoying it greatly... havnt tested anything yet but **** this thing feels faster .... if u look at the site they still have some for $242 so u could get one for $252 shipped (with the 3 day select service from fedex). Take heed though that the units are REFURBISHED but the unit I just recieved is amazing thus far... GO TO THIS SITE FOR A T9300!!! Get to the choppaahhh

 

You can get a NIB retail T9300 with warranty for $280 US or a NIB retail T8300 with warranty for $250...
