A Little Advice...?

[Lord Kalthorn]

An AMD better than a 4000+ but not over $300 I doubt exists. I certainly cannot find one. Now if you think you could go to Intel...

 

[TmDrak]

Im not saying better then a 4000, im saying something maybe as good, a if not almost as good. BTW get on aim = )

 

[alvino]

Eww...Intel would be even more expensive and wouldn't get you anywhere.

 

[TmDrak]

Yeah I know, Im staying away from intel

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Socket 939 CPU 512K L2 Cache, 64-bit Processor 247.00

Ram: OCZ Value Series 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory 198.00

HardDrive: 200GB EIDE Western Digital Mode: WD2000BB, 7200 RPM, EIDE, 2MB cache , ATA/100 82.00

Graphic Card: Okay for my graphic card..I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO GET!!! I've recently bought a [BFG] GeForceFX 5500 for this computer and its factory overclocked. I'm not sure what SLI means, but if it means that you can combine two card, would this help the card I buy at all?

Good. Don't let our Intel Salesman, also known as Lord Kalthorn, disillusion you into going with Intel

 

[TmDrak]

Well I dont even think the Motherboard im getting supports intel, if I was gonna switch to intel, i'd just use the one in this computer..its 2.4ghz

Ok. SLI means that you can only get anything higher than a 6600 GT or above. I would highly reccommend 2 6800 GTs if you had the money. If you don't just get one and save up for the other one. Don't go with 2 6600 GTs because the total price is expensive for the performance they give out (2 6600 GTs in SLI are equivelent to a 6800 GT or Ultra). If you really want to go balls out, you can also go with 2 7800 GTXs in SLI...which should scream in games!

But you want to Multitask don't you? You can multitask so much more in an Intel Pentium 650 3.4Ghz say than you could in an AMD 4000+ And the Intel is less! Intel Pentium 650 3.4Ghz. Nobody is going to disagree when I say if you're not after a Gaming PC, that processor is better

I hope at least

 

[alvino]

I disagree! Ha! I foiled your evil plans Lord Kalthorn! Mwahahah!!! You and your fellow Intel Board Members can go back to the Abyss from whence you came from!
