Bah! Alienware! Build your own, man!
What? First of all, SLI doesn't support dual monitors, second of all, SLI can provide huge performance increases, depending on the game and...
I know all of this. But in addition to the 9 ops/cycle vs the 6 ops/cycle, AMDs have lower-latency cache, which makes for quicker access. Because...
Ahhh, Socket A, forgot about those Sempys. And AKW, Pentium 4s/Ds make poor use of the L2 cache, they have higher latencies, which means they...
Semprons have 128kb or 256kb of L2, not 512.
1Gb is what you want to run most newer games halfway decent... some games, like Battlefield 2, will not run max unless you've got 2 Gigs.
The PSU is one of the most vital and often-overlooked components in a PC. A cheap PSU can lower the performance or even damage other components....
The Hiper Type-R 580W is a great PSU...
No, it's not. Seasonics are some of the most efficient and most stable PSUs on the market. The 500W Seasonic is much better than the Antec...
Yes, but for that price, get the Seasonic 500W.
The X2's not bad at all. It's fine, Newegg just doesn't sell stuff made by Ultra. Edit: But if you insist on changing, I'd go with the Sunbeam...
No way you're going to be running an FX62 and SLId 7900GTXs on a 520W Modstream. If you're saying these are your current specs, I call bull, if...
It doesn't really matter. It's a Manchester. CPUz shows nothing personal, just information about your CPU.
There you go. I don't ever shut it down except when I'm benchmarking, though.
That's a hell of a system. I've got a picture, but it's crap quality because it's off my phone, but you can see the pretty blue LEDs... [img]
Yup, the new 3700s have been OCing like crazy, I couldn't resist popping it in with a quality motherboard, cooling, and RAM. :)
Okay, I've gotten a crapload of upgrades since the last time I posted here... current specs: AMD Athlon 64 3700+ OCed to 3.1GHz (Thermaltake Big...
Don't have time to get links, but I'd reccomend these: Athlon 64 3700+ (socket 939) - $215 DFI LanParty Ultra D- $123 GeForce 7900GT - $310...
The TX1050B, that's a good deal for a case and good PSU, the Smartpower II 550s are like $100 by themselves. And while you guys would normally be...
I would get the eVGA 6800GS. They've got a lifetime warranty, even if you overclock the card or replace the heatsink. Also, they have a 90-day...
If you're considering the 7800GT, I'd go with the new 7900GT, it's got slightly better performance than the 7800GTX. It's about $300 most places.
i don't think there is. :( That's just one of the problems with LCDs.
XFX is one of the best video card manufacturers out there. There's nothing crappy about them.
Me? No... it's the GS.
or you could post here, since he's already got the topic... My suggestions: AMD Opteron 144 - $175...
