Re: This is what I'm getting in september

lol, IF you can afford it. Maybe later on when it has made me some money I can up it to 4 gigs, but I'll have to settle for 2 in the beginning. Nevertheless it should be fast as hell to begin with, and got my eye on a Dual core AMD 64 4000+ with 2 gigs of L2 cache...no more stalling ever!!!

wait, lemme post what I've been looking at right now - keep in mind that I have a 1300 dollar limit and need to keep some moving space because of the fluctuating exchange rates:

AMD Athlon? 64 X2 4000+ (Boxed, OPGA, "Windsor")
MSI K9N Neo-F nF5 (Retail, Sound, Gb-LAN, RAID)
G.E.I.L. DIMM 2 GB (GX22GB5300LDC - 533)
Arctic-Cooling Silentium T5
Club3D GeForce 7600GS
2X 160 Gig Seagate Barracuda (ST3160812AS, S-ATA2, NCQ)

Total (SATA HDD/Arctic): 939 euro > 1205 dollar

I think I will opt for a little faster memory though, and I chose the vid card based on processor and mem speed (500mHz and 900mHz), has 12 pixel pipelines. The other peripherals are here already, so no need to buy those new

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.

Socket AM2 processors and motherboards have been out for three weeks now and the prices are quite cheap too. By the time you read this, it will be over three weeks.

Re: This is what I'm getting in september

So wait... this is for September? I think its pretty pointless trying to map everything out so many months in advance. New shit comes out every week and prices rise and drop every week. I'd wait till August and see where you stand. Or else you are going to be posting a new config every week.

Another thing, this machine will cost at least $1400 less come September. At the very least.

Re: This is what I'm getting in september

hahaha....I guess you're right Palmer, maybe it's just because I can't wait to have a new one. Beanz, this rig is 1200 right now, how would you think it's 200 more in 2 months?

Beanz, this rig is 1200 right now, how would you think it's 200 more in 2 months?

First of all, I never said that any system would cost $1400. I stated that a system would cost $1400 LESS come September and I was referring to assfuck_admin's ( ) system of choice. Not yours.
