I was glad I got a 120GB for free.

@darknight: I used to have a 40GB. It sucked...

Ti4600 doesn't suck... It's not super but it's good. At least that's what Ithink. I was about to die when Underground came out and I had a GeForce 2... it was 32mb and I had to have everything on low to have 15fps.
Now I finally have a Radeon 9600XT.

Works like a charm.

333Mhz PII
Built-in Intel 80510 i think VGA.
Built-in sound no idea whos.
1x PCI slot

The Ti4600 sucks not necessarily because it is slow, but because of its outdated shader processors.

Speedwise, the GeForce Ti4600 is on par with the GeForce 6600 LE, sans the up-to-date shader processors ... So, I mean, it's certainly not fast by today's standards ...

You do know that each person uses their PC differently and it's pretty much stupid to say he's got to get a new HDD?

You don't tell someone working at an office to get a X1950XTX, and you don't tell someone that doesn't use a lot of space to get a new larger HDD.

I was just a suggestion do you know what it means?????

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 16 Nov 2006, 20:24

dude there is no need to yell

it might be a tiny HDD but it is also pretty fast

RSZETEC · Post by **RSZETEC** » 16 Nov 2006, 23:24

Well gettin a load of new stuff soon, ill be getting another hdd probably only about 80gb as its just to store, music ,photoshop stuff and maybe windows 98 cos im a bit of a retro games fan and xp wont play any of my old favorites(frontier elite 2, elite,and some old amiga stuff)Had dual boot before but havent got the space for 2 operating systems anymore

computers dont run on hopes and dreams, what cpu is he getting?

Abrams · Post by **Abrams** » 20 Nov 2006, 21:37

Im getting a new PC next month *crosses fingers*, most likely:

Coreâ„¢2 Duo E6600, 1066Mhz, s775, 4MB
P5L-MX s775 Conroe, 945G, DDRII 800, VGA, PCI-E
1GB DDR II Corsair 800Mhz
7600GT 256MB TV, DVI, PCI-E
Seagate160GB 7200RPM, 8MB, SATA II
NEC ND-4570A DVDÂ±RW x16, DL x8

Yeah, gfx isnt the top, but id rather invest in the processor and switch gfx in about year or more.

Which i think means, AMD64 Athlon 2.6ghz x2 (yep two of them).

weedman173 · Post by **weedman173** » 21 Nov 2006, 03:15

X2 does not mean he has two processors. X2 is just a line of processors from AMD. Like mine is an AMD Athlon X2 4600.

NFSBLUECIVIC · Post by **NFSBLUECIVIC** » 21 Nov 2006, 04:15

x2=dual core

weedman173 · Post by **weedman173** » 21 Nov 2006, 04:56

No, what I thought he meant was two physical processors.

NFSBLUECIVIC · Post by **NFSBLUECIVIC** » 21 Nov 2006, 07:07

o srry, to that dude with the question, it would say all over it if it had dual processors.

marshman · Post by **marshman** » 21 Nov 2006, 10:31

I'm with you guys. I thought it meant two processors but having a quick read up tells me "two processor cores on one die essentially like having a dual processor system in one processor". My mistake then. So it's one processor with two processing cores?

Still a top pc though and should handle NFSC like a dream....when it arrives. I still haven't had that text off him yet to confirm. I was looking forward to going to his house for a look too.
