Alright, thanks man

Thats what I figured...thanks for the help

Hello all, Not really sure if this is more of a HD hardware or OS related question. I was wondering what is the best way to setup a new XP install with two SATA 320gig HDs. In the past I have split each drive into 2 partitions for a total of 4 partitions (all basic drives). The first...

Yeah I looked its not the new ATX standard, although the 12+ rail is 18A. I was looking at some anandtech roundups for the past couple years and they rated a Fortron good. I thought thats kinda what I said about the AMD vs Intel RAM thing, maybe I worded it funny. I dont think I have the money...

the latencys for the sticks i was looking at were 2-3-3-6 which i think will do OCS PC3200 Copper....after reading this article on anandtech here about timings it makes it sound that the timings aren't as much of a big deal in gaming as they are in video editing type stuff and that ahtlons...

isn't the gs 6800 GS equal or better than the gt just newer and cheaper? isn't the 148 opteron (2.2Ghz) faster than the 146 (2.0Ghz)?

Yeah Im going with a DFI lan party board, opteron 148, 1 gig OCZ pc3200 copper (2-3-3-6) ram, and a 6800 gs. Most of the stuff from monarchcomputer.com and new egg. All less than $700. Thanks for bringing me back up to par with this stuff.

Which should I buy? An Opteron 148 or Athlon 64 3700+ (San Diego core). Both are similar prices, both 2.2 Ghz, 1MB L2s....which is better? Thanks

BTW ribbon 13, I like your sound system....Im putting a Dayton MKIII 15 ported in my car...thats an awesome sub.

Does anyone have an opinion as to how a 6800GT might affect my current systems performance? I have AGP 4x, XP 2100+, 512 MB 266mhz RAM. Do I need AGP 8x to get a major performance boost over my current card?

Its one I got a couple years ago from TigerDirect TTGI 400SS, it has been very good to me although I've never really put it to the test. It seems to put out clean power and has ball bearing fans. The 12V+ is rated to put out 16A worth of current if thats what you mean.

Thanks for the suggestions trueimage... I do plan on playing games, thats probably my biggest reason to upgrade (Elder Scrolls Oblivion) although I use my computer at least 5 hours a day to do other stuff too. Do you think an Opteron will be better than the 64 cost/performance wise? Opterons...

Do you think its makes sense to buy a 754 vs a 939? Wont the 939 last a little longer platform wise?
