which comp?

[phantomracoon]

1.
Intel XEON @ 2.6 GHZ
6800 GT
1 GB dual channel KIngston hyper X RAM

2.
AMD FX 55
RADEON X800 PE
1 GB DUal CHANNEL Corsair XMS RAM

Any way to combine the two? I would take 2 definately, but 2 with the GT would rock...

And, is that a radeon x800 xt pe? or is there such a thin as an x8oo pe by itself? THe x800 xt pe is a great card, but *maybe* the 6800 line will last longer due to their implementation of sm3.0.

*depends on how much developers implement that into gamecode.

The best thing to do, would be to Go Here... You will get ALL your questions answered promptly! :laugh:

I gotta go with #2 because XMS sounds cooler than HyperX here.

Seriously why even compare a Xeon 2.6 to a FX-55. Xeons are'nt even meant for gaming. The only thing I can think of is because you think because they have the same speed its a close contest.
