An i5-3570 for $15? I wish.
LoL yea. xD
So how much did you pay for that in TOTAL? (You know...including the item and the shipping and everything else (if there was anything else))...
He probably got it for 195 bucks if this is anything to go by http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115233

Correct. The i5-3350P was $180 and that was the cheapest quad core so when the i5-3570 was $15 more with the promo I grabbed it. It was $15 off then.

180 dollars?!!!!!
I gotta say it again:
Wait wait wait wait wait wait!!!
You got that CPU for just 180 freaking dollars?!!!!!
Ohh man!.....
I said this again because these kind of CPUs (even weaker ones) here cost more than 1000 dollars ROFL!!!
I hate this place...I hate it so much...
(Not this forum.The place where I live lol).
Cheers!
(Surely not to me of course )!!!

I live in Croatia country,town Pula.
Everything is expensive here as hell and pay checks are getting smaller and smaller.
So if you think this is expensive there where you are then come HERE and then you will see what is REALLY EXPENSIVE lol.

Oh yea...I forgot one thing...and it might shock you hehe.
In my small UAC data complex center I have 4 computers as I already mentioned in several threads in the past.
However what I did not mention is that ONE of those 4 computers is a LOT LOT LOT stronger than other 3 computers.Probably the strongest computer I ever had lol.But since this forum section is about CPUs,I will tell you ONLY what CPU it has.
As you all know my weak MAIN UAC COMPUTER 1 has super old and weak processor socket 462 (A) - AMD Athlon XP 1700+ of 1.4 ghz.
On the other hand a lot stronger MAIN UAC COMPUTER 2 has a lot newer and stronger processor - Intel quad core of 3.0 ghz
Unfortunately I am not 100% sure if it's 3.0 ghz or 2.8 ghz.I know it's somewhere between those values.I just can't remember right now.
Also I can't remember the NAME of the processor too unfortunately.
But I will have a look at it next week and give you all the details!
What I do remember however is that this CPU was one of the FIRST quad core processors made by Intel.
My brother was using that CPU for a long time and then dad bought him a lot better one so I got this CPU from him.
But that's all I can remember right now.But like I said...I will have a look at it next week and give you the full details!
Big difference isn't it?
And I MUST ADMIT...the difference in speed between these 2 processors (main UAC computer 1 and main UAC computer 2) is GIGANTIC!!!
But I use that main UAC computer 2 only for playing games.The main UAC computer 1 however I use for everything else.But the difference is really HUGE lol.In everything!!!
Luckily PROCESSOR chips last for MANY MANY MANY years so I don't have to worry about them to die soon because I really cannot afford new processor chip right now lol.
And my old processor chip socket 462 (A) - AMD Athlon XP 1700+ of 1.4 ghz really proved AFTER LONG 15 YEARS that it can last for a LOOOOOOONG time!!!!!!
And since this "new" (it's still new to me lol) Intel quad core processor I have is not EVEN CLOSE as old as my old processor chip socket 462 (A) - AMD Athlon XP 1700+ of 1.4 ghz is (and it still works so damn perfect) THEN I AM 100% SURE THAT IT WILL WORK FOR GOD KNOWS HOW MANY YEARS!

I still have my AMD Athlon 1700+ and an AMD Duron 1 Ghz. I don't know why I'm keeping them but they still work. I also still have the AMD X2 3800+ on a mobo and 3 gig mems I upgraded from. The mobo only see 2 gig mems but for some reason it ran better with three gigs mems.
Recently I upgraded to a budget system which is a Celeron G540. While I was using my Celeron system I was buying parts by parts for a better system which is now in my signature. I plan to replace the Celeron with the i3-2105 I pulled from this system and it'll be my back up system.

Cant take anymore large color font, emoticons and long drawn out useless stories. The thread has run it worth.
