never mind

"Exactly Im a noob at overclocking and just bought a AM3 x3 710 2.6hz yesterday with a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H and Im able to hit 3Ghz stock voltages everything, 1 hour OCCT stable. Obviously Im gonna test alot more, raise some voltages and see If I can hit 3.2, but the point is these new x3...

Seriously, guys, it only works for one week worth of CPUs. AMD intentionally did this to lore the gamblers into buying X3s. There is no reason to risk one core to save the 30 dollar difference AMD is asking for the X4s. You are making a huge mistake to pick the Phenom II architecture over the...

Dual RV680s score 20K(ie 4 GPUs), not one RV680, which is dual RV670s. So 4xRV670s score 20K. ATI's marketing playing with the numbers.

wildside50: your dual core Opteron is decent. If you want anything faster for your 8800gt, I recommend the Q6600 overclocked to 3Ghz on Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L motherboard.

I like your system specs. Except that Radeon HD2400Pro. You do know that HD2400Pro is the slowest card ATI has got? You can replace it with a 8800GT when they are widely available if you ever want 3D in your box. Having a HD2400Pro for a Q6600 is like building a truck with 12 inch wheels.

wow, the ncixus is out :( that was quick

While most places are out of Geforce 8800GTs..I just found one in stock, at reasonable price too: http://www.ncixus.com/products...XV/Galaxy%20Techology/ post here as soon as you find other places with 8800GT in stock. BTW, newegg will get a shipment of 2000 pieces per 8800GT variant on...

btw, just wanted to add that the X3210 is THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK CPU there is right now ...230 bux for a quad core? 57 bux per core! it would fly. If you got ballz, try to run that sucker at 1333fsb.

limer, you should go with User5's suggestion: CASE: COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 ---------- $50.00 (w/free ship) http://www.newegg.com/product/...p?item=N82E16811119068 MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ---- $95.00 (perfect as long as you dont use RAID/SLI or Firewire)...

JohnVM: you post is interesting, and I think I know what you need the system for, since you mentioned finance, I am thinking you are probably trying to create a Terabyte worth of financial data? (equity, options, commodities time series data?) if I am right on my assumption of what you...

wow, what price will we get if we used the coupon code "AMDSUCKS50" ? YHPM AnandTech Moderator

why not get a mac mini?

i also think the P965 is a better deal. Gigabyte DS3 might be a good fit. NVidia 7900GS might be a better price/performance choice. X-FI sucks.. get this one: CMI8788 based X-Meridian from Auzentech or the bluegears equivalent. Realtime DTS encoding!!! yeah baby
