Possibly looking for 1260 card

[Buzzfuzz]

I still wonder how stupid the people that bought the $1000 Pentium EE processors feel right now.

Lol :roflmao:
 
Actually I was that stupid yeah, I have a 975 EE, but as Franko said like a Blizzard 1260 it runs rings around most processors.
My 975 EE is running @ 4GHz on air cooling, no need for insane cooling upgrades, just a Prolimatech Megahalems Rev B with a push pull fan config at low rpm's.
 
But like any 060 card I also have a Cyberstorm 060/PPC 50/200 with 128MB, but this thing leaves a dust cloud when compared to it's SCSI performance on a Blizzard 1260 with SCSI kit.
 
Nothing beats a good powerful setup, but the question is, are you really going to use it ?
In the Amiga world, if you only do games, it's useless, your better off with a good 030.
Lesson learned already.
 
So then what ? it's not like your going to use it for video work, your pc is about 1000 times faster in that area.
Music ? well no need for a 060 there.
Demos ? yeah could be, but you have to be pretty good at it.
 
It's that I got the Cyberstorm and Blizzard 2060 / 1260 for reasonable prices, but at what they sell now, NO FREAKING WAY!

...but at what they sell now, NO FREAKING WAY!
 
And you bought a Pentium 975EE?
 
It's a phenomenal example of market pricing, isn't it?
 
Although not as extreme, similar conditions played a role in my having to pay over $150 for a 1.8Ghz upgrade for my Powermac.

A 975EE at 900 dollars or so is a bit more usefull than a 1200 dollar Cyberstorm PPC, wouldn't you agree ?
Same as 400 dollar Blizzard 1260 vs 950 Core I7.
In both cases I would chose the I7 anyday.
