Me Vs A friend : Who has the better System

helmie · 11-10-2005, 09:33 PM

Hi,
A mate of mine keeps boasting that his comp ill destroy mine (when i build it

)

His specs are:

P4 550 3.4Ghz
1GB Ram (Unknown)
p5rd1-v deluxe m/b
400 gb raid 0
ATI x800xl

Thats all i know.

He paid £650 for it and has spent about £1,200 now in total. He is upgrading it more, but how will mine in the below sig compare?
Mine is only going to cost £640 (He bought his off ebay with a 3.2, but he got the guy to upgrade for extra)

If your building it to beat his... Your doing it for the wrong reason in my opinion... You ahouls build it the way YOU like it, and the way YOU want it. It is not a competition. Things you do with your computer, he may not do on his... Slow down and think about what you want...

Yeah, I agree with Trizoy totally. If you're building a comp just to have it beat your friends, then you shouldn't be building it at all, I mean you might end up finding out that you didnt really need a $500 video card, but you wasted the money on it anyway.

and is 640 euro or what ever that crazing little thing is compared to..is it about 900usd?
then now, my comp wastes your and you should give up

but build it how you want it ya, no point in doing it just to show off your friends...

Its a trade off, your CPU is a little better, his video is a little better

Your cpu is slightly better, and your ram is better. But his video card and hard drive are better.
