How so about the i series? First gen of that series was okay, except for the major lack of a genuine math co-cpu. 2nd gen and later had the GPU on the CPU, no way to upgrade those, no way to overclock, and no way to re-write microcode to those i series CPUs.

BTW, flashing microcode to CPUs is a really interesting and easy task, IF you know how to do it lol... Remember the Pentium floating point bug? It was just a software problem. The open source community released a fixed microcode for that Pentium, I flashed it to my CPU through the Linux kernels amazing CPU flashing extension, and boom it worked AWESOME!

Kinda funny you say that the 2nd gen i can't be OC'd as mine is and has been pretty much since I bought it.

Either way, at least I can still get new hardware for my stuff.

Anybody have issues with DF for a little while a few minutes ago? FF kept saying the connection was reset...

My bad.

But who the hell wants performance out of an onboard GPU?!

Screw you man. I use Chrome for certain purposes. FireFox offers me much more flexibility.
