not for dolphin.
smt -> useless
more cores -> useless
SSE5 -> useless
faster memory -> not worth much here
please compare any non SSE5 benchmarks, for example here : CLICK
You will see that q9450 (same clock) is most times not more then 10% slower per clock.
That means a C2Q with ~10% more clock is about the same speed as i7 if you take out SSE5 and maybe those applications that depend heavily on memory.
So you need to reach nearly the same clocks with i7 as you would with c2q (duo for dolphin) for same speed.
Quote:and be about the same price... it makes no sense therefore to buy the e8600
even for E8600 it's much cheaper(150$+) because of the mainboard and ram.
again : thats all for dolphin.
If you do video encoding or whatever with your cpu, you might buy a i7.
Please do tell where you can buy a e8600 for 150 USD -.-

has anyone check this deal
I did... it looked good the memory interface is 256 bit while its 448 bit on the 260 which is about the same price new
How can you compare a 260 and a 4890 ?

they were in about the same price range

new instructions of i7 are not used in dolphin, memory speed does not really matter in dolphin, more threads (SMT) are not used in dolphin.
yeah, every big advantage of i7 is useless for dolphin, what remains is a slight increase in per clock performance.
30% over c2d/q in dolphin ? no way.
Just how stupid are you? Here, let me hold your hand and show you where you messed up.

If you want the absolute best PC to play Dolphin with then the i7 will get you there. Is the performance difference between it an a E8400 so great that is justifies the cost? Let me point it out again:

that has nothing to do with experience, its just obvious.
Is it? For the sake of general PC use (PC Gaming, Encoding and the such) a Phenom II 940 is better than an E8400. Yet when it comes to Dolphin, it sure as hell isn't and your ignorant remark shows how anyone could make that mistake.

Rene , I aint no Veeight , but Im the guy with him in your mama 's bed banging her real hard! Please stop blaspheming , jesus has nothing to do with you being arrogant or you having no argument but writing Blah Blah Blah .(+ enthusiast pc have at least i7 975 + geforce 295 or 3 or 4 radeon 4890 + SSD drives ( better than blah blah blah !!)
THELUKESTIR , 448 bits with gddr3 gives aproximately the same bandwith than 256 bits with ddr5 , but the 4890 has 1ghz core clock , so even if the price is the same ,wether you like to buy expensive stuff for the same result or worse , or maybe you just love crap that they sell you at an high price !
Oh and I dont care to get banned Daco or nosound ,(cauz Im really with his mom) cauz the forum has just became a junkhole with people with an enormous Ego and nothing to share but the amount of money they spend and split at your faces.
400 times , thanks Rene and his wonderful parrot THELUKESTIR !

WHAT?!?! i totaly didnt understand ANY of that rant... and why am i rene's parrot? Why must we get offensive on a thread about building computers??!?! i never said go out and buy the 260 over the 4890 i was simply pointing that out... and a i7 975 and a 295gtx are extremely expensive and not worth it at the moment. the enthusiast build was meant to be buying the biggest baddest thing you can without wasting money (at least the way i interpreted it) I dont see anyone in here shoving all the things they bought in your face.. rene was simply showing what he thought was good builds... you dont have to build em.. and why would you get banned???
