Yeah it is unfortunate that some have lost points at the the bot but the bot isn't the end all say all. I was into overclocking way before I registered at the bot and didn't start playing the bots game until about 2 years ago maybe? In a way I hate the bot as it made me spend more money on hardware than what I would have normally as there was a period that I just bought hardware for boints. What can ya do though? I'll tell ya, keep overclocking!

I have upgraded with OCing in mind and competition over the last few years, since I joined here though it got much worse LOL

Actually the only thing I miss about the i7 setup, was there is not way for me to compete in 3d without one. Even with one, it was tough to do. 2D global boints were pretty much the same. I can still do HW boints though.

I am glad that I never shipped off this AMD setup, since it is still kicking it and more than enough for gaming

(Dragon age Origins I have yet to see CPU or GPU top 70% load when I monitor it on the second screen, which really surprised me)

Good point Kal and happy to have signed up here.
No sense in letting something like this spoil the fun and I plan on continuing onward - You may suffer setbacks but hey, that's life in general.
You know, it's possible to do well within the new system too and at least give it a shot.

I can also agree with the jackfruit and friend analagy.
