I would go with 4870 or anything AMD within that price point. 5770 kinda disappoints me thinking that it was going to be significant enough not to buy 5850 (my target). I was going to buy the 48xx series but then I buy major video cards every two years so why I would buy something cheaper only...
I believe you should:
1. Sell your monitor and buy the 1080p monitor you have been wanting; and two
2. Wait until the prices settles down around thxgiving or after christmas.
Also, do not buy Acer/Benq cheap big screen crap. Those screens are FAIL. Stick to either AOC/Chimei (they are the...
My last main machine before I succumb to the power of Core 2 Duo was a 939 X2 3800+ @2.4 all day everyday. So long that the day I tried to run the CPU back on its original state, it bluescreened on me and it's not when it is back on its OC state. I had it with a DFI RS482 mobo that I bought for...
If you are looking for a "stable system" then you must not be looking for faster timing speed. If you have hover this forum for awhile, you must know that sometimes what the label tells you it will run, it won't. Based on the amount of money you are willing to spend, would you be willing to...
Oops, let me edit that statement:
ewiz sells an OEM and Retail box of the 9550 for less than what others sells. You might want to reconsider your options :)
I was thinking about it (swapping my e8400) but I think I'm ready for the Core i5s.
+1
I've been user of both. Right now on Nvidia but waiting to get some AMD (4850 came out unannounced two weeks after I bought my 9600GT for my own b'day present!) when P55 comes along.
I think TS needs to ask that in AMD forum instead because I would like to know that answer as well...
My current main rig which is an 939 X2 3800+ runs at 10x241 (the memory is holding the system back).
I'm currently waiting to build my next machine based on the e8400 which should be done by the end of the summer.
my e2140 is actually for my HTPC which I play to underclock instead of...
PowerPC G4 857Mhz on my Powerbook G4 Titanium
I also have a Willamette sock 478 at my friend's house somewhere and
a P4 2.2Ghz Northwood that my family use from time to time.
for me, $60 e2140 from microcenter is the best bang for the buck. Second best would be my e4500 combo from Fry's which equate to 85 for CPU only. Oh n btw, both CPU are retail boxes :D
Dunno...
I was going to recommend MSI P35 Neo2-FR just because it comes with ICH9R and supports RAID 5 standard. Not that you could not do that with WinXP Pro at software level...however the thought of that you can on hardware level at 100AR makes it a good buy.
Your friend should be able to hit 240FSB easy without raising any Vcore. I did it on mine just fine. I hit BSODs at 250FSB with any kind of Vcore increase...maybe it's just my board but I'm satisfied with 240FSB
