P.S: how is the specs of my computer???

i was going to get 2 sli ones with 512 ram...but i felt like getting one real good one

[uberlube]

You do have really nice specs, for sure. But its all in how well you beat the crap out of them :)

meanie pants......

EDIT: wow. that was odd

[kool_kat_os]

should i get two gpus EVGA 8800GT??

You went overboard with the processor and maybe even the RAM, and totally skimped on storage space. A quad core processor is pretty much a waste of money for a desktop user at this point in time. It's easier to get a quad-capable motherboard and a decent dual-core processor.

[kool_kat_os]

At least i can build a computer in 8th grade...:)

i have a budget of $2000 (my dad said so) and i was just going to squeeze every penny possible out of it :-)

[Yes]

Don't do SLI, unless you're powering huge arrays of monitors it's generally not worth the extra $200+.

If you have extra money to spend you'd be better off getting another monitor.

yes, run crysis at full settings, while rendering images and playing portal.!:)

Dont worry...im sure ill find some way:)

[NullHead]

OH right I forgot... specs are:

Amd Athlon 64 4000+
MSI neo4-L
512mb ram (the other stick died witch would've made it 1gb)
220gb hdd (160 + 60)
dvd burner *top*
dvd reader *bottom*
e-GeForce 7600 GTX
Creative X-FI

[uberlube]

yes, run crysis at full settings, while rendering images and playing portal.!:)

How is Crysis BTW? I might go and grab it today.

Haha, don't expect this to sound impressive on a linux forum where a large percentage of users are teenage geeks.

Firstly, spoiled much? Secondly, even with a $2000 budget, you still made crappy choices. Why spend money on something that isn't going to benefit you in the immediate future? Like I said, you skimped on storage space. 160GB? You could've easily scored 1 TB and still had enough money for a fast dual-core processor. You didn't "squeeze every penny possible" out of your money, but ended up doing quite the opposite.

[hhhhhx]

if you put more than 1500 into a com, its a must have. i think its a law or something.:)

but seriously, its mind-blowing! ! !

EDIT: heres a sample of the power, when you first start it, its in windowed mode because they don't want it to crash your com. :)

So dual core is better?

[kool_kat_os]

I forgot to mention that i am still building it ...wooops.....so should i get one of these instead of the quad? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3241546

[fedex1993]

to bad yall wasted money on the 8800gt when you can wait a little bit and get the 9800 SLI BOY thats what i am getting 1gb each card DANG THOSE ARE GOING T KICK SOME BUT

[uberlube]

:lolflag:

[Iceni]

My self-built computer are:

AMD A64 4400+ (I did some oc so it runs @ 2.8ghz)
Asus A8N-Sli deluxe mobo
1 gb ddr-ram as this is 939 cpu/mobo
Lots of space, about 1.4 tb
All-in-one dvd-burner/reader/etc
Geforce 6800gs card

I was considering an upgrade a few months ago, but I don't need it. I don't play any games, and Ubuntu flies with this.

That dual core will outperform a quad core if you rub it on the carpet before installing it.

[maniacmusician]

So dual core is better?
spending money on quad core processors right now as a desktop user is somewhat pointless, since most desktops aren't optimized to utilize them. By the time that they do utilize them properly, there will be faster, desktop-oriented quad-cores out for purchase, and you'll be wishing you had one of those. So yes, dual core processors are more economical right now, and it's definitely not worth the price difference compared to the minimal performance you gain. Things like RAM and storage space are much more important as far as daily usage goes.

[kool_kat_os]

to bad yall wasted money on the 8800gt when you can wait a little bit and get the 9800 SLI BOY thats what i am getting 1gb each card DANG THOSE ARE GOING T KICK SOME BUT

I said that im still building it....the 9800 have 1GB of ram??

[Iceni]

Oh and to OP: Get the 8800GT. Much better value for money.

The GTX is a scam.

9-series are not out yet, except for the 9600, and that is mid-range.

[maniacmusician]

aww, now that's just mean. You know he's in 8th grade. Don't pick on little kids.

Errr...

seriously dont do that, static is very bad for processors

[uberlube]

Errrr what? Why would you make a suggestion like that?

[kool_kat_os]

aww, now that's just mean. You know he's in 8th grade. Don't pick on little kids.

thanks :(

[maniacmusician]

Errrr what? Why would you make a suggestion like that?
He's teasing the OP.

[hhhhhx]

Errrr what? Why would you make a suggestion like that?
i think he wants the op to spend 300 on a dual core and then destroy it. :)
EDIT: too late, ya its a test for the OP

[kool_kat_os]

seriously dont do that, static is very bad for processors

im not retarded

[hhhhhx]

im not retarded
then dont act like it

[kool_kat_os]

P.S I made this thread just so i know whats best....so i dont waist my $2000 on crap...right now im planning

[jinx099]

then dont act like it

what do you mean "dont act like it"

[fedex1993]

yeah the 9 serries arnt out but the 9800 the highest one taht is coming out is going to have 1gb for each card which is going to kick.

[uberlube]

HAHA!!! my computer is faster!!!:lolflag:

EDIT: i think

Thats what we mean

[kool_kat_os]

what do you think they are going to cost?

[jinx099]

what do you mean "dont act like it"

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that he is implying that you are acting retarded.

[kool_kat_os]

Thats what we mean

oh...well...ya.....man, i wish you didnt looked at that

[hhhhhx]

what do you mean "dont act like it"
i dont want to sound mean, and especial dont want to get banned, but let me elaborate. you are acting, how you say, childish.

[kool_kat_os]

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that he is implying that you are acting retarded.

Again...im NOT retarded....
