Thanks, just picked one up. I had to argue with them though since BB.com doesn't offer the option to order it since it is out of stock. The price in store is 279.99 so they pricematched it to 251.99 but the coupon only took anoth 5.60 off since it takes it off the original price of 279.99. I...
My 21 inch Viewsonic is dying on me and I need to replace it soon. I haven't looked at monitors in years. I know LCDs have come a long way but are they better or equal to CRTs for image quality and gaming? This pc is primarily for gaming so I would like to get the best I can for that. I want to...
I tried my Toys R Us and they had jack. I was hoping to pick up a PS2 bundle, but they said they haven't had any PS2's in a month and the entire region for my Toys R Us are also out. Anyone know if I can order one or have it transfered at the current sale price. I don't even have a preference on...
I had heard the 2.6c didn't overclock as well and rumored that zipzoomfly is currently shipping M0 steppings on the 2.4c, so I figured might as well. If anything I may just jump up to the 2.8c.
I picked up the Radeon for 199.99 before giftcards at Circuit City. Still have till the 31 though to...
Ok I think I have narrowed it down finally.
Before I place my orders how does this system look? Am I forgetting anything? Anything that I should change? This will be primarily for gaming and my first attempt at overclocking and building a pc.
Intel P4 2.4C - $164.50...zipzoomfly.com
Abit IC7-G...
As far as the audigy I am picking that up with gift cards and a possible Replaytv return to Circuit City, and the 9800 only cost me 99.99 after using a 100 giftcard so the price is actually less than a 9600 pro.
Any reason not to go with the 875 mobo's?
I finally have enough money to finish building a new pc and need some suggestions and advice. I am building an Intel based pc and will primarily use it for gaming and music. I may do some overclocking down the line but for now this will blow away my old pc pretty much no matter what I go with. I...
I am in the same boat and I am currently trying to decide between the IC7 and the new P4C800-E to go with a P4 2.6C and I haven't decided on the memory yet.
no budget isn't extreme I have about 800 or so set aside for the cpu, motherboard and memory.
1. I already have both from previous deals so they aren't costing me anything now.
2. Same thing and I do have broadband.
3. ok
4. Any particular board?
As far as the Hd's I already have them so they...
I am right now running an old P3 500 and I am definitely ready for an upgrade. A friend will be building it for me. I have slowly picked up parts from various deals so here is what I already have on hand....
Antec Plus 1080AMG w/ true power 430
Maxtor 160gb ultra w/8mb cache and ata133 card...
Hmm I wonder if I just screwed myself out of the Bestbuy giftcard mail in rebate. My roommate asked me to pick up a copy for him, since he wasn't sure if he was going to make it to the store this morning. Well it turns out he did, and since he was running back out he grabbed one to return. The...
Also a nice bonus is the free gamepass rentals count as paid Rewards Rental. After 2 weeks of the gamepass I have already earned two free rentals, good towards anything.
Also for those worried about games being in stock, check with your local Blockbuster, the one near me has a major restock...
I just signed up for the Blockbuster Gamepass, which for those who don't know is 19.99 and lets you have 2 games out at a time with no due date and whenever you return one you can take another out, much like Netflix.
After looking at my receipts today I noticed, the Gamepass Rentals count as...
Not to be a devil's advocate but I have been reading lately that the DTL series does not overclock as well as the old CTL. Rumors are they are saving the prime chips for the next memory upgrade.
Well that is more than I know...:) And that setup would actually work for me. I am currently planning on using a Maxtor 80gb 7200 ata133 as my primary drive, a Maxtor 80gb 5400 ata 100 as storage and I have heard putting those on the same IDE slows things down, a Lite-on CDRW, and a Lite-on DVD...
I have never messed with a Raid setup, but isn't Raid just to run two exact drives at the same time? Would you be able to use the Raid Ide without using it in Raid? (did that make sense?) As far as other desires, I think I am going to go with a DDR setup and the P4 1.6A. The only thing else I...
So in the end what are your thoughts on this board? I am currently considering it for a P4 1.6A and my first attempt at overclocking? I really like it for the support of more than 4 Ata devices.
Thanks and yeah I was going to get the Samsung from Newegg which from what I have heard everywhere is true Samsung. My only concern now is that the BD7-II only supports up to 4 ata devices. I did find the Abit IT7 which supports 8 devices, but I have heard some problems with overclocking. I was...
I was referred to the Abit IT7 as a possible board for a new P4 system, but I have read some overclockability issues. I then realized this is the only board I have seen that supports more than 4 ata devices. Any there any other boards out there or any other options for running more than 4...
I am getting very close to purchasing the following system and wanted to get everyone's thoughts...
P4 1.6A
Abit BD7-II
Samsung PC2700 512 megs
Antec 1080B w/ true power 430w
stock cooling unless suggested otherwise
GF4 Ti4400...still deciding on brand
I will be using the follwing also...
I am currently running a p3 500 with the extasy 5632 and noticed a decent improvement from the TNT2 ultra previously in the machine. I was able to up some of my settings and it has been enough to hold me off till I can assemble a new pc.
I am currently in the same boat but I am looking at the 1.6A or 2.26. I haven't decided on how much of an overclock I will attempt for my first time. I am also still debating about what memory to go with. I think I am leaning towards the Asus board with Rambus memory but still up in the air.
Piecing together new Pc and looking for some ideas.
I am currently in the process of picking out the pieces to my new computer that I plan to assemble, but there are a couple of areas I am still unsure about. This pc will be primarily for gaming and of course secondary for internert and Mp3's...
I didn't vote because I have no experience with either card, but I am in the same situation and decided on the Sb Audigy after several recommendations. These being to agree with what MEM said neither are bad cards, but it seems most recommend Audigy for gaming, which is primarily what I will be...
No I got it also. I know I was charged tax on mine, maybe that is the differance.
Edit: from Dell's order confirmation..."Dell Home Systems collects tax on orders delivered to Texas, Kentucky, Nevada, North Carolina, Tennessee, Idaho and Florida."
I have done some of the basics, and the more I think about it the more I will likely build it myself. I am just unsure about whether I want to tackle mounting the pcu and heatsink and thermal paste and mobo.
I got the go ahead from my parents to buy/build a new pc. Basicly they will buy and I will pay them back. I am not comfortable building my own from scratch, but I am ok with some upgrades. My thoughts are to buy a good barebones or bare essential gaming rig and installing the rest of the parts...
So it's bad then that I am still using a P3 500?...:) Actually currently I am looking at buying a new system. Just can't decide if I feel comfortable enough building.
I am looking to buy a new system. I know it is cheaper to build it yourself, but I would rather buy a very basic system that I can just add to and upgrade myself because I am not sure how comfortable I would be assembling everything.
I would most likely be looking to pick up the bare...
Very cool Thanks. I had just read a previous message about some Agp incompatabilities with the board and the Visiontek graphics board. I just wanted to double check before ordering.
I was looking at ordering the Xtasy 5632 and I had heard rumors that this card may not work with the older Abit boards. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
