Is it really worth it???

computeruler · 05-05-2008, 10:20 PM

depends on what you do encoding and stuff video/ sound editing WAYYY over kill for games

ramodkk · 05-05-2008, 10:28 PM

Still, wouldn't a Q9450 be enough?

It's not worth it. Christ, you could build a killer rig for a grand and a half. The Rig you built around one of those wouldn't even be much better performance wise.. Proportionately screwed.

in the end you still need a Skulltrail (D5400XS) Platform board..... which will cost another 400 quid.

Man, forget that. My E2160 is enough for me ATM

why would you need one of those for that cpu? also you could just take a cheaper cpu and overclock it just as high as that one

its a server chip, its not really made for home use

computeruler · 05-06-2008, 01:42 AM
