Anyone pre-order their Venice/Diego yet?

[Major]

Just pre-ordered mine from Monarch, just curious if everyone was waiting for results ? or like me can't wait 2 weeks to be on the shelf.

I ordered a 3700+ w/ 1mb to replace the 3500+ I'm using now.

If I had money I would have done it but I don't , I know it was

[Major]

LOL

Well didn't REALLY have the money either !!!! haha

[vlad]

Wating.

[Major]

Your a wise man Vlad !!!

[Rezag1000]

I would have pre-ordered it by now if the f ing federal gov hadn't told my parents to pay $4000 in taxes!!!!!!

[Rezag1000]

I was literally hours away from ordering all the parts for my first build!!!! Then the account called!!!

OH CRAP !!! that reminds me !! 4/15

Pre-ordered the 3700 from Sparco. That is to replace the 3500 venice. Dont know how smart that was but I really like the 1mg cache.

same here Chunkylover77

Meh, I mow lawns so the feds don't scare me *yet*

[HARDCORECLOCKER]

I voted "What is.." bacause better waitin' for release of the FX-57...

[Rezag1000]

You dont realize how pissed I am right now! Do you know how long I have been planning for this computer? One year!! Everyday I have created several wishlists on nenwegg, I have read hundreds of reviews. I waited for Nforce 4, I waited for nf4 mobos, I waited for winchester, then I began waiting for Venice one month ago. Now Venice has come, and I cannot order my parts!!

How much was I able to save during this on eyear you ask? Only $960, but I was content with that. I was going to have to use a 9 year old 15 in CRT moniter to save money, but I was still happy.

Now, several hours ago, my parents accountant called, and......well, you know.

[VSpecII]

4000+ off Monarch aswell. Though the motherboard for it will take some time...

[Rezag1000]

lol, sorry for my unproductive posts.

It seems to me that the 3700+ is going to be favored above all the new CPUs. Not only does it have the san diego core, but it also has 1 mb L2 cache. Just out of curiosity, why dud you guts pre-order a 4000+, when a OC'ed 3700+ would out perform it?

[Geforce4ti4200]

Id guess that he believes the 4000+ to be a higher speed bin and therefore overclock better or maybe he needs the 12x multi under a prometeia to run his VX ram 1:1

anyway.....I'm going to wait for results before I jump on it was my vote. We do not yet have a large sample of Venice and im not the only one waiting to see how a 3000+ Venice overclocks, those saying it will do 2.8GHz are speculating. We have seen what reviewers got but I arent buying a 3800+ Venice

[Major]

My reasoning is simple, 3 of the kids computers are now on socket 939 so any upgrades I do also benefit the kids and their comps. Atleast thats how I justify spending money I don't have ! lol

I've been waiting for over a year and it looks like I'll still be waiting atleast one more. Taking 18 credit hours of upper division/ graduate courses of Electrical Engineering while working "only" 20 hours a week in a low income job (because the demand for jobs in this ares is so high, employers pay crap) and supporting a wife and kid means I don't have any money for an upgrade. Hopefully I'll get a real job next year when I graduate and then I can fantasize.

*hugs 2500+ and 9800 pro*

1) Get a job. You're living at home, so you can make an assload.

2) stop spamming..

[ozzimark]

just a side note, there should be an option for all of us 754 guys: the new 3700+ newark
(it would have gotten my vote if it was there, instead i picked the most applicable one, i'll wait till it's in stores, cause i have to)

1) There is this thing called school if you didn't know! It takes up a sizable chuck of a teenagers day, not to mention homework.

2) I did, and I apologized for it , then I followed up my apology with a meaningful post. Now its your turn to stop spamming.


To avoid making this post meaningless spam, I will continue on my post in a dignified fashion:

Some people have not pre-ordered Venice because of the mystery surrounding the relese date. What if one ordered a Venice chip today, and it didn't ship until the middle of May as Monarch suggests?

[wickedld9]

Ordered the 4000+ from Monarch. I have a 2.4GHz proc now and didn't want to lose the overall speed of regular tasks by going with the 3700+ just in case it didn't clock well. I also am counting on them being speed binned and hoping for better clocks. Keep in mind that if this processor doesn't overclock well I will probably still be using it in 8 months.
What's really going to be interesting is if these will be able to support 245-260 FSB/HTT at 4x512 with 1t. The PC Perspective article says he was able to 4x512 at 1t but never said how high he got them.

[Rezag1000]

The weak momory controllers negate one of the advantages of 64-bit. Opposed to 32-bit which can only access 4 GB of ram, 64-bit should be able to access millions of GB, don't ask where I got that number. Some editor said it on cnet.com.

[althes]

Just going to wait until they hit stores and save some pennies get a 4000+

[GregP24]

I need a 4000+ for the 12x multi, but I can't afford $540 right now. This sucks.
