cdf216 Posted January 10, 2006 CID Share Posted January 10, 2006 Concidering the Athlon 64 X2 4800+ is the best processor money can buy I think I did.... I just went with the cheapest retailer's prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted January 10, 2006 CID Share Posted January 10, 2006 hmmm....any computer...just look in my sig :haha: I wonder, why would anyone reduce the performance of a cpu? Are there advantages in stability or cooling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted January 10, 2006 CID Share Posted January 10, 2006 Probably cooling, maybe better life. In amc's case he has a problem with his bios that won't allow him to run it at stock speed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdf216 Posted January 11, 2006 CID Share Posted January 11, 2006 I wonder, why would anyone reduce the performance of a cpu? Are there advantages in stability or cooling? No actually he didn't do it intentionally, he has a motherboard that doesn't allow the clock to be set manually and for some reason after a cmos reset it defaulted to a 100 mhz bus speed instead of 133 and he can't find a way to set it to 133 with the crippled bios.

True but at the time I posted the FX-60 wasn't publicly available, it came out the very next day LOL, and it still isn't listed on pricewatch.

disturbed Posted January 11, 2006 CID Share Posted January 11, 2006 getting extremely high performance ram and other hardware that can "virtually" access/process data at some incredible speeds is usually meaningless - thats cuz each processor has some number of data it can process in the given amount of time, and getting ram that performs at lets say 1000MHz *lolz* will not give you a performance jump if you were using ram that performs at lets say 400MHz *just an example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmasta Posted January 11, 2006 CID Share Posted January 11, 2006 AMD 100+ 10 Gig HDD geforce4 MX 250 0.66 GHz cpu ^^ yup my baby. That's all you'd want? That's hardly any good. A 10GB HDD is hardly enough space for anything, and a 660Mhz cpu (0.66Ghz)isn't much either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disturbed Posted January 12, 2006 CID Share Posted January 12, 2006 Naturally, all this tweaking has its price: the default configuration of the Area-51 ALX, with 3.8GHz, 1GB dual-channel DDR2 533MHz memory, Nvidia GeForce 6800 Ultra graphics card, 148GB WD Raptor HDDs in RAID 0 configuration, Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS audio card and Windows XP Professional, costs US$5458.

Alienware is beaten by other systems, such as those built by OPC by quite a bit. Definatly overpriced too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
