You do realize that that Core Duo is the most expensive one and it can put your processor in the corner any day.

SparcoPusher · Post by **SparcoPusher** » 07 May 2006, 17:56

hmmm, so the core duo, is better than a dual p4 then?.........i might have to do some upgrading then eh

The Gravedigger · Post by **The Gravedigger** » 07 May 2006, 18:01

There is no bloody dual p4...

Only the dual-core processors...

More instructions per clock. Clockspeed isn't important anymore, that's why AMD64 owns P4 at a lower clockspeed.

My 2,85 GHz AMD64 X2 completely kills a dual 3,6.

i recently built a computer, and unlike the most of you i dont have 4000 dollars to waste on a computer, and unlike most of you, i dont need a 500 dollar plus graphic card. So here are the specs
The Grand total was under 300$ because i already had a couple things, like moniter, mouse and keyboard.
Intel Celeron 3.06
768 ddr (getting more sometime.l...)
200 gig Maxtor (I only paid 40 bucks!)
Biohazzard case
NEC dvd burner
what did i miss?
im getting a XFX geforce 6200 256 8x AGP card as soon as next paycheck comes.
Most people would think that this rig would suck against most, but its fine for me and plays prety much evry game no lag, and with this graphic card, it will do just fine.

Definately possible, it's just poorer quality. I'd rather pay more for an hdd if it guarantees better performance and quality. It also depends on the hdd speed. If it's slower, then it's cheap but if it's a faster hdd then it's obviously more expensive.

Post by **Pabl0z** » 07 May 2006, 21:31

I have 2x 250gb SATA300 Maxtor hd's with 16mb cache, 7200rpm.
They work really smooth but my system is still quite new so they aren't really fragmented at all and whatnot.
I know there are a lot better hd's too but these were quite cheap imo.
I think they were 110â‚¬ each about 3 months ago.

Actually, the new Conroes from Intel beat the shiznit out of the K8. So lets wait and see.

Post by **Pabl0z** » 07 May 2006, 23:35

Yeah but we'll see what the new AMD's can do that should be coming out within a year.

I got it at staples, it had a huge rebate, and they are doing it again right now, except its a 200 gig for 50 bucks. Anyway, the specs for the hd are : Maxtor Brand, "Ultra Series" 7200 RPM ulta ata/133 8mb cache average seek time less than 9.0 milliseconds. It works great for me, the reason i got big one is so i can edit videos. And i can put all my gaes on it no problem.

I'd ditch any attempt at getting a 6200, and go straight for the 6600... you should be able to pick up the Gigabyte NV-66256DP for roughly the same money, but you'd have a better card, if you want to fork out just that little bit more, go for an ASUS N6600GT, or XFX 6600GT, XXX edition, etc
Which pretty much are just that little bit more than the 6200, but they dont suck... I would prefer keeping with my GeForce FX5500 than get any of the 6200's

NFSBLUECIVIC · Post by **NFSBLUECIVIC** » 08 May 2006, 04:59

6600 is to expensive for me (cheapest i found was 85 bucks) , unless im mistaking it with a wrong card, where would you buy it? Linky Please! Also explain differences, im a noob a gc's.

The Gravedigger · Post by **The Gravedigger** » 08 May 2006, 05:27

Two words describe the 6200.... waste of money... okay, I lied it was three

Maybe you could try (not that I'd reccomend) the MSI Geforce 6600 NX6600-TD or any on this page depends on how much you want to spend, if you were going for a card less than 80 dollars, i'd reccomend the ASUS Geforce 6600 EN6600/TD

I'd go to a place like gamedude (Australia only) for my needs or other websites, heck even Ebay might have it

- EDIT (replying to post below) -
Oh, yes it would be a fair bit of a difference than onboard graphics, so if that's what you want to spend your money on... go for it

NFSBLUECIVIC · Post by **NFSBLUECIVIC** » 08 May 2006, 05:44

is it really that bad? It cant be, from at least my point, me goind from integrated graphics, it would be heaven. And to tell you the truth i dont have enough to spend more than 50 prob.

ok, HOLY MOTHERSHUTYOURMOUTH

now they are just over-doing it don't ya think

15lbs

what the hell, that's not a laptop anymore, that's a burden

vellu · Post by **vellu** » 09 May 2006, 21:41

Ziisas, 19" screen on a laptop. That's just nuts. The physical dimensions alone (not to mention weight) makes it very impractical to carry around.

For desktop replacement I suppose, if one has lots and lots of money (to waste, imo).

512 mb ram
Ati radeon 9250 128mb (OC'd)
120 GB HDD (used to have 2)

That is beautiful. If I had that kind of money, I would definately buy that laptop...I don't care if it's inpractical or if Alienware products are over-priced, that is still an awesome machine I would love to own.
