I planned out a guide below on what I want to put inside of it, performance wise for right now and I have not selected the core parts, just my performance idea. Can I get some thoughts if this will be good enough for what … Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by mikeandike22 you should just mod one of the alienware pcs they have some sick pc's for running games and they have announced that they have a comp that runs a pt4 4ghz processor. Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by Young Teck 06 Sounds like something that has been overclocked from 3.6GHz, stupid thing is that their prices are expensive. Another place is [url]http://www.go-l.com[/url] and they have a desktop pc with 6GHz, now that is OVERCLOCKED for sure. Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by Young Teck 06 Plus, another thing is that you have to be enrolled on their credit card thing to be able to pay monthly, which was my only option, but I am only 16 and cannot get their credit card. Anyway, I would purchase one off of eBay, but IDK. Got anyh help there for me Mike. Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by mikeandike22 i donnu get a site that offers something useful and add a paypal doante link to it or just do wat my bro did and put the donate link in his sig. Or mow lawns and shovel snow my bro makes like $300 on a good snow day. 6ghz must be really unstable even overclocking from 3.2 to 3.6 could be unstable on some machines. Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by Young Teck 06 What are they going to donate to me for though. Hmmmmm, I am trying to get my teen site online which will be subscription based only, plus the freelance work I am doing is for one of them PCs. Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by Catweazle OK, on topic, eh? That's a tad light on for a modern gaming rig. Matter of fact, looking at the display card chosen it's a LOT light on! AMD Athlon64 is currently the best choice for gaming, not Intel. It'll do just as well as the Pentium for Photoshopping as well. Socket 754 is good enough and keeps costs down. Look for a decent and … Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by Young Teck 06 Well, I got speeding through it, and really, media type stuff is more AMD, Intel is said to be a better investment into a gaming PC. I would get an 3.6GHz but so much for the high price. I would choose nVidia most likely because of the reason being they are more better. But anyway, I'd rather just do like Mike said, and purchase a Alienware … Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by Catweazle You're living in the past with that idea that Intel Pentium is better for gaming. the Athlon64 processors beat their Pentium equivalents in games performance hands down ;) Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by Young Teck 06 What, alright, so you say. AMD is nothing but piece of trash, in gaming wise. Media is what its great for. Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by Catweazle You're a rather rude Young Teck, I think. :confused: Do you actually know the difference between an Athlon XP processor and an Athlon64 processor? Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by rcrevolution woot I have a 9600Xt yaay, BTW my AMd 64 3400+ is in!!! now I just need to wait for my ram to come in WOOT! Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by mikeandike22 im pretty sure the 64 stands for 64 bit wich is the best and most expensive type of processor you can get. Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by rcrevolution well yeah it stand for 64-bit but most expensive, not really P4 extreme edition sells for $900-$1000 and best maybe for games, p4 with HT is the beter one for multi-tasking. Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by Catweazle [QUOTE]best maybe for games, p4 with HT is the beter one for multi-tasking.[/QUOTE] Not quite right. [b]More RAM[/b] is the thing which improves multi-tasking, not really the processor at all. The hyper-threading (simulation of dual-processors) of the more recent Pentium 4 processors is of benefit only to those types of software application … Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by Young Teck 06 The price of Intel P4 Extreme Editions just makes me wanna cry :sad: Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by Catweazle Especially when their performance doesn't really exceed that of their much cheaper Athlon64 conterparts ;) Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by Young Teck 06 Yea true, I need a new video card, for this darned The Sims 2 game. Whenever I try and install the game, it doesnt autorun and it doesnt manually Run >> D:/RUN either. Stupid thing. Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by Coconut Monkey [QUOTE=Young Teck 06]What, alright, so you say. AMD is nothing but piece of trash, in gaming wise. Media is what its great for.[/QUOTE] I suggest you drop that belief ASAP - it's quite outdated! In fact, you've got it the wrong way round. Intel's P4/Prescott is good for media and AMD's A64 is good for gaming! Still don't believe us? Then it's … Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by Young Teck 06 I would get the highest rated one, but its too expensive, I could buy a whole new PC with that much money. Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by rcrevolution thats what I ment when I said multi-tasking I was refering to the HT Ht= hyper threading not to be confused with the ht= hyper transport. i dont know why amd and intel does this, we're only human STOP CONFUSING US!!! :evil: Re: Gamers PC 19 Years Ago by Catweazle Not sure what you're suggesting there, rcrevolution. Are you perhaps suggesting that because a term with 'hyper' in it has been associated with an Intel product, then no AMD product should use anything which also has 'hyper' in it's name? Hyperthreading is the parrallel processing of 'streams' of data, in a way which simulates dual processors…
