Linux Hardware Looks at Core 2

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the capitalism-at-work dept.

Penguin Lover writes "Linux Hardware has just posted a new story on how Intel's new Conroe performs under Linux. From the article: 'Now is a great time to be CPU shopping because no matter which side of the isle you look on, you have great choice for both CPUs and motherboards. Along with Intel's chipset offerings, keep in mind that NVIDIA has the nForce series for Intel CPUs which would give you SLI support for all your Quake Wars and UT2007 gaming needs.'"

    Yeah... 4 weeks ago the AMD 3700+ was $200.

    Now it's $99.

    NOW seems to be a pretty good time to pick up on decent processing power. NOW I can get a decent CPU for $99, a 320 GB drive for $95. ...and the list goes on. Silent 7600 GS for $110. Top name DVD recorders all day long for $28.

    I just built that system for less than $600 and it uttlerly vaporizes the box I built last year at double the price.

    But you are still on a 486 waiting for the right NOW time to upgrade.
