If you could buy any processor, motherboard, and ram right now...

[MrFumetsu]

with unlimited amount of funds (keep in mind this is for a desktop)
what CPU would you buy with what motherboard and what kind of ram?

 

[adeno]

Really? so we can go all out?

Epox 8RDA+
Corsair XMS3000 512mb x 2
xp2100+ tbred B

I do own that motherboard now, and it's awesome.

 

[Soulkeeper]

unlimited funds huh
hehe
asus a7v8x or a7n8x (depending on yur chipset preference)
two or three sticks of 512mb sticks of corsair xms 3000 or 3500
either 2400+ or 2100+ T-bred b

 

[MrFumetsu]

I just got myself that board and processor too, but why not corsair 3200? like I got

 

[adeno]

I'll refer you to THUGSROOK's Corsair shootout thread

The XMS3000 results there should say it all

 

[Actaeon]

Pentium 4 3.06ghz + 1gb of TwinX Corsair PC3200 Low Latency... + Asus (?) Granite Bay (I don't follow p4 platforums that much).

But being more conservative, and no so expensive. AXP2400+ and Epox Nforce2 with 512mb of TwinX Corsair PC3200

 

[KidChaos]

Gigabyte 8INXP motherboard
P4 3.06GHz
Corsair 1GB (2x512MB) PC-3200LLPT TwinPack

nVidia audio is better than what is provided by granite bay mobos, so I would have to get an add-on sound card. I would select Terratec's DMX 6fire 24/96 for audio.

 

[bgeh]

Intel 3.06 GHz
Corsair XMS3500 x 2
GA-SINXP(Gigabyte's SIS 655 mobo)

 

[RalfHutter]

PIII-S 1.4Ghz "b" step

Abit ST6 or ST6-raid

2 x 256Mb Mushkin High Performance Rev 3+

For personal use... Probably the Asus A78NX, 3.06 Woody, 1 or 2GB of RAM.

For business use.. 8-way Xeon 2.4's/3mb cache, 8 GB RAM...

Love to see you run a 'Woody' on that Socket A platform....

 

[RanDum72]

Intel P4 3.06ghz
PC1066 or PC1200 RDRAM 1 gig of them
and any good 850E or SiS 655 (when they do come out) motherboard.

He's probably going Dual PIII 1.4-S...not bad but you can always go P4 XEON's....

 

[LastRide]

P-486 with 2MB of ram and some ISA cards.
