Just my Powersupply and Chipset/Mobo after Christmas. 500 might be a bit low for me.. .[TUF]Whiskey_Oktober wrote:

are you thinking of upgrading kmar? could i get your current system for, say, $500?
and there was some rant here about brand loyalty and how you should buy a product on how well it works not who makes it, but it was too long and confusing. hence previous sentence.

but i did get a steal on the system i have now...bought 2/3 of it used for 350...got a 1000 computer (according to newegg) for around 500 total. no luck for this next build though.

Logitech G7 or MX1000 mouse
Logitech G15 keyboard
Well, that's all I can think of. That would indeed be my dream computer. All that is well over $10,000.
Have you seen the power consumption by the 4X4? Hell, it's got worst price/performance and wattage/performance ratios. Core 2 Quad is around the same benchmark levels though.A-Unit64 wrote:

Um AM3 is a socket. Didn't you say AMD FX-74 anyways?CrazeD wrote:
That's alright, AM3 will own C2D.
They don't use one. They run a large scale parallel processing network. Google have some pretty fancy hardware as well.I_invented_BF2 wrote:

I don't know if anyone's brought this up yet, but the 680i seems to be afflicted with an issue that corrupts data in SATA drives. nVidia says it's a driver error, and that they're working to fix it.Des.Kmal wrote:

It's fixed. They took care of it in a bios update. All the top publishers have resumed recommending it again..lolunnamednewbie13 wrote:

As for AMD, thumbs down until they release something that can realistically compete with Intel. "In the works" doesn't count.
Nice but I would expect a third drive. 300 not enough .
