I think he's got you in check there Climbtree.

no, with each new range of cpu intel puts out a new socket. currently (excluding servers) they have socket LGA775, LGA1366 and LGA1156 and AMD have AM2, AM2+ and AM3. you can put an AM3 chip in an AM2 motherboard. intels cpus are incompatible with different sockets.

you sure can but you still wont be able to use DDR3

are you aware there are important architectural reasons to change sockets and without changing the socket the processors would not improve

and that seriously 3 desktop sockets vs 3 with one being backwards compatible? wow intel really dropped the ball there

what is wrong with you? if you got an AM2 motherboard from 2006 you could still put the latest amd CPU in it. if you got an LGA775 motherboard from 2006 you would have to change motherboards twice to use the latest cpu, and the motherboards and cpus are more expensive.

i have the 5770 and the only game it lags on even a little is GTA IV, and i am pretty sure that is a processor issue. bretly is wrong.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

Man, don't lie... unless you want us to assume that you play all older games. There are facts of the matter on this kind of stuff... it's not hard to look up 5770 benchmarks and see that you are dead wrong.

according to your link if he played in 1680x1050 he'd get a decent framerate with very high settings enabled. it doesn't matter though since he didn't compare it to anything else, it's pretty much YOU ACTUALLY CAN PLAY GAMES WITH ATI CARDS
