starship_troopers Posted October 19, 2007 CID Share Posted October 19, 2007 well i would change a few things. like the RAM does that say 1gb x4 peices? why do you need 4gigs of ram? and the graphics card....why not jump up to an 8600 or an 8800 card. they are much better. but yeah thats a cool system. it should run games pretty well. but if i was you i'd wait for more oppinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted October 19, 2007 CID Share Posted October 19, 2007 thats alot of money for not very much. $61.33 for 1GB of ram is alot. and the 8500GT isnt that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only indicated the "x 4 pcs" so i could emphasize 4 GB price cost... 4 GB of ram, since many games demand a gig or 2 gig of ram for it to run well, remaining 2 gig is for other task, rather multitasking purposes... hehehe Cool, then i should check the 8600 or 8800 card...

Guest ExtremeFusion Posted October 19, 2007 CID Share Posted October 19, 2007 thats alot of money for not very much. $61.33 for 1GB of ram is alot. and the 8500GT isnt that great. how much is the usual price for a 1 GB pc 800 ddr2 ram? and what's wrong with 8500 GT?!

starship_troopers Posted October 19, 2007 CID Share Posted October 19, 2007 how much is the usual price for a 1 GB pc 800 ddr2 ram? and what's wrong with 8500 GT?! well you can actually get a 1gb stick of ram for as low as 30 bucks http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820161028 but since i like ADATA ram here is some for around 40 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211063 and the 8500 card, well compared to the 8600 even. the core clock is lower , the memory clock is lower, less stream processors, etc. here is a chart showing the specs of all the Nvidia 8 series cards, http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce8.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted October 19, 2007 CID Share Posted October 19, 2007 and what's wrong with 8500 GT?! a higher end 7 series for not much more is faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierrasatsyst Posted October 19, 2007 CID Share Posted October 19, 2007 Why not use a AMD processor ? they are Faster and Cheaper. Like the Athlon 64 X2. I think this is what all the gaming computer use ? Right ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO AMD is the way to go. Phooooooeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMD . AMD. AMD :-P Phooooooeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMD . AMD.

starship_troopers Posted October 19, 2007 CID Share Posted October 19, 2007 What are you smoking? its gotta be good if it can make AMD look good right now.... lol I'd still rather have an AMD than an intel any day... edit- OK though. we can start a new thread for this crap....IMO this thread has been derailed..i think we should get back to helping out with getting a better deal for this guy's computer..i mean thats what this thread is supposed to be.

dlewis23 Posted October 19, 2007 CID Share Posted October 19, 2007 I'd still rather have an AMD than an intel any day... Why? Give me a honest answer. A core 2 duo crushes a AMD in every benchmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starship_troopers Posted October 19, 2007 CID Share Posted October 19, 2007 Why? Give me a honest answer. A core 2 duo crushes a AMD in every benchmark. Doesnt matter. im not into OCing or checking out benchmarks or any of that crap...i just want a cheap problem free (for me no problems ever with an amd) way to do my multitasking/gaming at a descent speed.....and AMD has never let me down. i'd rather pay 150 bucks for my 5600+ dual core 2.8ghz than pay 280 for a 3ghz core 2 duo. ..but I will admit to you...yeah intel is faster and more popular....but who cares..i still want AMD. ok so now im not going to argue any more. i think we've digressed from this thread way too much. lets get back to this guys computer.

For me its been the other way, always problems with AMD systems. But anyway, Don't get a 8500. You could get a 7950 for a little more and it will be much faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted October 19, 2007 CID Share Posted October 19, 2007 Real life stuff here people, no one here is gonna convince me, that an old, at that AMD, and a Linux OS won 't beat the hell out of anything out there. All those benchmarks do , is function a the lobbiest for the corporations. :2funny: I'm sure there showin things that none of us will ever need to know , nor use so Phhooooeee! :haha: :haha: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierrasatsyst Posted October 19, 2007 CID Share Posted October 19, 2007 One test says Intel is faster/Another test says Amd is faster. All I know is. I've never, never had my AMD overheat. But I had an Intel based comp. it was always crashing. I'll stick with AMD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
