I'm currently running an X6 1090T in combination with a Gigabyte 890GPA which is AM3.
Smooth as, no complaints.
As the 8 core FX-8150 is going to be relatively cheap when released in October?
(according to some insider from Turkey) I'll probably buy one but .......
Question: Will I need an AM3+ motherboard or will the CPU be backwards compatible.
On a bit of a tangent. I use (2) 32 Gb I-Ram SSD's in raid 0 to boot the system and run a
few apps with an old 300Gb Raptor for storage.
I was checking out a Facebook video on the new OCZ Revodrive X2. The guy ran some tests
and it's sequential read speed was 650Mb/s and 120,000 IOPS.
Boot time from' power on' to password prompt was 40 secs. My SSD's (sata 2) do the same thing in 42 secs and I wouldn't know how they rate in terms of IOPS.
I read in another review that the Revodrive X2 could read at 1500Mb/s, which really did blow my
hair back.
Sounds like fladulation and is probably without foundation, but I like symmetry i.e. 64 bit
operating system, 8 or 16 Gb RAM, 32 or 64 Gb boot drive and hopefully the 8 core CPU.
