id rather have a celeron

 

[AWhackWhiteBoy]

kudos on the silverstone case. they make down right sexy case's. too bad they're so pricey.

edit: oh,wow,newegg sells them now?!

 

[Mik3y]

hahaha nick, too bad their so expensive. cant afford one!

 

[Markfw]

I didn;t see a SCSI controller for those drives, or did I miss that ?

 

[Mik3y]

check it again, i reconfigured it.

 

[jdogg707]

it's really going to suck when you get your dream PC and it doesn't work because you got a Socket 754 Motherboard for a Socket 940 processor. Try the Asus SK8V Deluxe for the FX.

 

[Mik3y]

check it again...again. hehe.

Hi, new to this forum, this may be nit-picky, but it will clear stuff up for me. Is PCI-X the same as PCI-EX (PCI express)? Or are they different?

 

[Mik3y]

ya, their the same.

No, actually they aren't the same, PCI-X is basically an overclocked PCI Bus, you can get further details here.

Just one CPU? Only 1gig of ram? No SCSI? What about Dual display? 7.1 surround sound?

At the top of this thread, there is some buttons like a star and a printer. Click the one on the left.

What will 90% (or more) of the ppl on AT do with an SGI machine??

 

[MDE]

Where's the OS? Only a 2.1 system too, and do I see 5 DVD burners in there?!

 

[MDE]

Link I want the loaded one.

 

[Corporate Thug]

too bad the 9800Xt will be fairly slow in a couple months

 

[Corporate Thug]

stupid internet, dp

Dell PowerEdge 6600

It would crunch SETI@Home while running Win2k3 Server in the background.

Imagine the gazillon FPS...

 

[Mik3y]

well hey, i like the 2.1. that one is specifically the same, if not better, then a 5.1 set. anyways, its 2 gigs of ram if u looked at it correctly. anyways, i didnt include the OS, cuz i already have one. i dont count software in my rigs, cuz i already have em. screw dual display, since i have no point for them.

 

[ed21x]

why would you want a value-oriented GMX speaker when the original Klipsch 2.1's are infiitely better?

oh, and best to combine the 9800 and TV tuner with the AIW 9800 Pro.
