This is what I'm getting in september

...much thanks to Alex and Noah form Holosound!!

AMD Athlon? 64 X2 4200+ (Boxed, OPGA, "Manchester")
MOBO Asus A8R-MVP (Gb-LAN, RAID, FireWire)
RAM Kingston ValueRAM DIMM 1 GB (KVR400X64C3AK2/1G)
CASE Arctic-Cooling Silentium T5
GRAPHICS Club3D GeForce 7600GS (TV-out, DVI)
HDD Western Digital Caviar RE (WD1600YD) 160 Gig SATA 2X

FINALLY a render won't take me all night anymore...*sigh*

Already have a CD-ROM writer, DVD-ROM writer, 1 Gig of RAM (so i'll have 4x 512 in there) and a Terratec producer Phase 22. It'll go in Serial ATA mode, ram = dual channel. Gonna be a fast fucker I hope! I was budget bound, but all in all that was pretty damn generous, and since I had a number of peripherals myself I could spend a lot on cpu/mobo/mem. It will be both a graphics and music machine...for mixing though, possibly producing later on.

Now I gotta save up for cd-decks and a widescreen tft...

Re: This is what I'm getting in september

^^^ is that already the new AMD chipset?

Re: This is what I'm getting in september

I have no idea...it's the Dual core AMD, I think it is pretty new. Wanted an Opteron at first, but they're a bit harder to get here (although I do have the connections for it). But I guess this one will do just fine

And it left me more budget to get a good vid card and such...

Re: This is what I'm getting in september

Just asking cuz red1 told me a while ago that at the end of this year the new chip will become available... That's why I've postponed my buy. Maybe you should look into that.

Other than that, sexy config bro

Re: This is what I'm getting in september

thanks mate I wish Icould postpone it, but given the incredibly slow rig I have now and the work i need to do with it, waiting isn't really an option, unfortunately. Any prices available for the new chipset yet?

Re: This is what I'm getting in september

Not sure how much you download, if at all, but I would consider a larger hard drive.

great combo

consider upgrading to 2gb if you can.

the case is EXCELLENT

the graphics card has a good cost/perfomance imho

Re: This is what I'm getting in september

Sweet setup, dude. From what I remember you telling me about your old rig, the difference should be night and day. Isn't spending loads of money on a new computer fun??

[Yao]

Re: This is what I'm getting in september

Most definitely! Oh an Arielus, I already have on gig of RAM on this one, which will be put into the new mobo - should be exactly the same, so I'll have 4x 512 in dual channel

One other possibility is that I'll be going to Africa for another 3 months as a minimum, in that case I'll continue what I'm doing now but will have to opt for a laptop, preferrably with an AMD Turion dual core...as long as you hit the major cities in Africa the internet connections are pretty doable.
