The Israeli special forces might have used a few Desert Eagles, but it was never officially fielded by the IDF. The Baby Eagle is a derivative of the Witness which is a derivative of the CZ. It shares nothing in common with the Desert Eagle. ( And it comes in 9mm and 41AE as well )

In the real world most people do die after 1 shot from a high power rifle. The game isn't a run and gun sci-fi shooter, it's a tactical shooter that make at least a small attempt at realism. :p

That is so backwards from reality it's almost funny. AMD has consistently had a more stable socket platform and upgrade path for each socket. With Intel, they might release CPU's with the same pin count, and call the socket the same name, but different models of CPU won't work, and will need a...

K10 will be compatible with AM2. (like already mentioned). I wouldn't ever lay bets on an Intel platform (read socket/chipset) having more lifespan than an AMD platform ( socket/chipset) we all can see which way that has gone in the last 6+ years.

Funny isn't it that one of those "commodity orifices" (Cingular) managed to lock Apple into an exclusive carrier deal for the iphone.

Yes, "They"? because there are multiple types of CPU model in the new family. I did however answer the question with answers about ALL of the models, as you did not specify which one you were asking about.

"They"? Barcelona is Socket F AgenaFX is 4x4 (which is physically Socket F, but has no registered or EEC RAM requirements, and fewer HT links. I've seen it call Socket L1A somewhere, but take that with some salt) Agena is Socket AM2+, and is backwards compatible to Socket AM2. Kuma...

"Barcelona" is the quad-core K8L based Opteron. The 4x4 quad-core K8L is "AgenaFX", the quad-core K8L AM2 is "Agena", and the dual-core K8L with 2MB L3 is "Kuma", the dual-core K8L with no L3 is "Rana", and the single-core K8L is "Spica", which might be branded as a Sempron.

They have inventory of old P4's. Cutting Conroe prices would hurt the effort to clear that old inventory. Also, Intel is selling every single Core2 that they can make at the current prices, why would they lower the price when they can't improve sales any further.

The L3 is probably using the Z-RAM tech that AMD bought, so it's going to be a hell of alot faster than what is called L3 these days. So for AMD each core will have a large L1, a moderate sized L2, and a large shared L3 cache that is so fast it could be thought of as an L2.1 cache.

Well, you're focusing so tightly on something that isn't the problem, you will of course overlook the real cause. To put it simply, it Aint the CPU! :rolleyes: Connection problems come from faulty connection hardware or software. Check the Onboard LAN, and drivers, check the MB main...

Apparently a hell of a lot better crap than you smoke. I know what I'm talking about, you don't. If you want to flame about semantics taking us OT than do that, but don't argue things you don't understand.

I think he's refering to the motherboard traces from the socket to the RAM slots. Many people attribute the entire motherboard as the "chipset", even thought the term "chipset" is completely obsolete with AMD K8 CPUs.

K8L is far more than just quad-core. Trying to paint the entire issue into "quad is useless" is what is foolish.

Because K8L is about more than just quad-core. All of the K8L archetecture improvements will be released in a dual-core desktop chip as well. You're focussing too tightly on the 'quad' part, and not enough on the 'K8L' part.
