Or, instead of the FX-57, you could get the 400+ Clawhammer (pretty much a re-badged FX-53) and overclock it a bit. I've heard of 4000+s being...
Because it doesn't acutally come with a video card. It's good for integrated graphics, but nothing compared to a decent video card.
Yes, the Clawhammer is more powerful, but it's also $55 more. The San Diego Core, the closest in price to the X2 3800+, does not perform as well...
And the x-2 3800+ is equivilent to two 64 3800+s. 2x 3800+ > 4000+
Only cooler and more efficient. And better for gaming.
Or you could get a job, and save up for a couple weeks...
I read enough reports of PSUs blowing and taking out equipment to pretty much listen to what Defuzion told me, and I suggest you do the same....
So is intel pulling out of PCs? The latest Mac/intel commercial certainly gives that impression...
I wan't saying it wasn't... I was saying it's more than enough.
There is no video card, it's integrated. If you do ANY gaming at all, you will want a video card. If you want PS to look good, you want a video card.
I got an eVGA 6600GT, I run CoD2 at 1024 x 768, max settings, 2x AA and 4X AF, get about 45 FPS, looks great. ^_^
Defuzion's right, Limewire is perfectly legal... just what most people use it for isn't. And anyway, Limewire complied to a federal order that...
Unfortunently, some of us do. <_< From what I know, Intel finds/invents new technologies, and AMD perfects them.
You're running a 6600. 480 is more than enough, if it's a halfway decent PSU. I've got a 450W epower puma II PSU, with 28a on the 12v rail, runs...
I recently upgraded from a GeForce 4 MX440 to a 6600GT. Trust me, you won't be dissapointed. ^_^
Make sure you shut down other programs before playing a game...
AA on 2x, 4x AF... CoD2 is pretty stable.
I use Free Download Manager, works pretty damn good... it's sped up my downloads by about 50 kb/s, too. (~180kb/s to ~230kb/s)
It should hold up in CoD2 just fine... I can run it on High at ~ 45FPS with my 2.5 GHz Celeron D, 768MB PC3200 RAM and GeForce 6600GT.
I wish I could think of that as cheap... I'd upgrade the graphics card, though. I'm going to be getting the same CPU + MOBO combo as that as soon...
Is newegg not working for anyone else? I keep getting that FireFox can't find it...
I got 7k something in 03... my download keeps stopping when I try to download 05 or 06...
I'm not even sure I can run 06... my 6600GT's only got 128 mb of RAM. Oh well, I don't need it telling me that everything but my graphics card is...
That guy that suggested the 6800 was kinda... off. If he wants someone to find a low end card for cheaper than he did, why would he suddenly spend...
So they can easily compile all the entries, since they are all uploaded to the server. I'm hating my entry... [img]
