hey [F_CK] Danielle you recon you could post a link in the New Graphics cards and Motherboards section just so we can keep it all in 1 place and not all over the place with a basic description

Thanks

ill get it two years after it comes out, when programs start to get developed for 6 cores.

lol hopefully rise in community means rise in cunts people playing crysis finally, though i highly doubt this.

nah thats shit, its just an 8 core pro with 2 cores cutoff, thus making a bs amount of money on it, my next pc i will be sicking with i7 extreme as wat trae said it hasnt even finished doing is do in life, let the i7 reign,

boots out
