I'm just wondering what speed of CPU does everyone have? I am stuck with Dual 733 MHz Pentium 3's until a few months when I get that shiny new 2.5 GHz AMD Athlon chipset!

EDIT: Vote what you will be getting OR what you have now.
I don't check this forum anymore.

athlon doesn have CPU's up to 2.5 GHZ yet. You might be getting an athlon XP 2500, buts it not 2.5 GHZ. Its like 2.17 GHZ or something, but they rate them by how fast they run comapred to a pentium 4. So it runs the same speed as a 2.5 GHZ P4, but not at actually 2.5 GHZ.



Now that thats out of the way, I have an Athlon 64 3200+, although it runs faster than a pentium 4 3.4 GHZ.

You can pretty much ignore the times on that, I rarely ever have Xfire on when I play. I should, though.

I will be getting a Mach Speed/nVidia nForce Motherboard and Athlon XP 2600+ (Socket A) Bundle, That should handle most everything. (Higher Frame Rate on ThinkTanks! w00t! No more 20 FPS lag days&#33 ;)

Yes I agree that is a pretty stupid reason to warn someone.

and he was wrong anyway. I said athlon doesn't have 2.5 GHZ chips yet, and they Don't. Then he warns me because the FX-53 is 2.4 GHZ. I freakin know that, thats why I said 2.5.

2.4 GHz P4.
It was the top of the line when I bought it.
It's still pretty quick.
Whatever music you listen to probably sucks.

No, 400...

Just noticed that the poll's options include "500-999 MHz."
What if your CPU ran at 999 MHz? :P
"Awww man, I just missed the cut!"
What if you have a PIII SpeedStep&#153; Processor? I think that one of the models was 450/733 and another was 400/650. What would you put then?

Apple G4 1Ghz processor. I pressed the wrong poll button! Anywhoo, its amazingly fast. I guess Macs run more efficiently? My PC is 2.4 Ghz and my G4 is much faster.

We're not made of money, and the only reason I'm buying this is because my CPU can't keep up with everything else I have. (top of the line Video card, sound card, etc.) And not to mention that I'm obsessed with ThinkTanks, and my frame rate is very low.
