Building new computer.. what to buy

www.overclockers.co.uk

 

Oriphus,
Excellent hardware choices for building a new pc, however I would go with Corsair XMS dual memory, a Plextor or BenQ dvd burner. You could go with Asus nForce 4 mobo (socket 939) and run 2 PCI express video cards

 

Hey Shoey, glad to see some of the old mods are still here and hope everythings good with yourself. Im ublikely to change the DVD Writer, since im a fully fledged Pioneer suporter lol, but i am of course open to suggestions on virtually all the internal components...

I might look into the Asus, but since i dont really do much gaming, maybe its not worth while..

Good to see you to Chris A Pioneer addict hey? Maybe soon I'll ne a BenQ addict..
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe

oriphus...i see that u compared an p4 3.4....not even an extreme edition 4 that matter....is true that in some places amd seems faster but if u want 2 use ur machine 4 anything else u will regret going 4 an amd. plus this 64 bit story is more of a fairy-tale...no games runs better in 64 bits OS. actually they run slower to about 5-8%. plus i like the multithreading side of p4. i will b curious 2 c how it compares with the 3.8 one (extreme edition it would be nice). plus in this one i'm building now i use 1Gbx2 ram so even it will slag as cpu it should b ok 4 the moment.

 

64 bit a fairy tail? ROFLMAO! I'm already running the Windows XP Pro 64 Bit Edition O/S (OEM) and Windows Longhorn O/S coming soon. Many software companies have already provided 64 bit software and pc gaming soon on its way. Please provide valid proof (reliable links) before you post such nonsense again!

Proof that gaming runs faster on a AMD Athlon 64 bit CPU (PCI Express)

i meant fairy-tale not in the sens it doesnt exit but about the result of the aplications running in a 64 bit os. one example you ca find here: http://gear.ign.com/articles/590/590278p2.html. and if you want more ou should try google. it helps.

 

My link to Toms Hardware Guide was more than enough proof concerning your fairy tail nonsense post. The Asus nForce SLI mobo, running 2 PCI express VGA cards produces greater video quality. Applications running on a 64 bit O/S are determined by the CPU speed, speed of hd and speed of DDR-RAM primarily. If your trying to sell P4's your not doing a good job m8. I can vouch for the AMD Athlon 3200+ CPU and the new WinXP Pro 64 Bit O/S, you however can't Email those guys(the link you posted) and tell them to test on a socket 939 mobo with dual PCI and a P5ND2 SLI for a fair analysis.

 

i will. but so far i didnt hear good things abut it. u guys r the first ones to vouch by it. thnx.
