[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	The prices I see quoted are really cheap too, can probably find them for 20+ bucks less then MSRP. http://www.cpu-world.com/news_2011/2011091101_Pre-order_prices_of_AMD_FX-Series_CPUs.html The table below contains a summary of FX-6100, FX-8120 and FX-8150 details: Model Cores Threads Frequency Turbo Frequency L2 cache L3 cache TDP Price FX-Series FX-6100 6 6 3.3 GHz 3.9 GHz 6 MB 8 MB 95 Watt $188.32 FX-Series FX-8120 8 8 3.1 GHz 4 GHz 8 MB 8 MB 125 Watt $221.73 FX-Series FX-8150 8 8 3.6 GHz 4.2 GHz 8 MB 8 MB 125 Watt $266.28 -----signature----- http://gimpchimp.etilader.com/display.php?user=lonestarr 3500+ solo kills & Lone Enforcer WAR - IronRock Dest- Energist, Moogabooga SWTOR - KV - Energist, Moogabooga

	Apparently AMD already lowered the prices on the Bulldozer chips before they even released. This has people believing AMD wasn't able to achieve performance competitive to Core i7 processors, so AMD is pricing it against Core i5 instead. -----signature----- (none)
