Sure, you can say "they do it cuz they can", but sometimes the level of stupidity out of someone spending $1100-$1500 a 3.0 quad core when they can get almost the same performance for a hellova lot cheaper seems to be an amusement to me, and an obscure level of retardation for them.
Heres another example... Im not sure if anybody is familiar with CPU + Graphics Benchmarks....
But... someone with almost the exact same setup as what Noodles is wishing to buy, benchmarked a CPU score of
8146 at 5.1Ghz (rediculous, must keep it in an icebox lmao) ... that benchmark is a score for 3dmark06, and ranked #2 in the world....
Processor: Core 2 Extreme Q6800, spent
$1019 on the chip.

Then... #7 in the world... benched at
7813, not too far away from the one stated above. Its clocked at 4.9Ghz. He has the exact same setup as what Noodles wants, minus the processor and mobo... and came in a hellova lot cheaper.
Processor: Core 2 Quad 2.66Ghz CPU, spent
$279

Show of hands on who would rather spend $1020 on a chip that will outperform a $279 chip by a very, very, miniscule amount.
And its not Computer Nerds Gone Wild, its "People With Little Brains and Big Pockets Gone Wild"
Like I stated:
