Better to get the san diego core over the hammer, How much are you paying, and where are you buying from

nissan300zxtt,audi2.7tt · 11-11-2005, 11:11 PM

just looking at newegg and they are on the same page
san diego and hammer

i guess im going to try and find cpu 101 so i can understand alittle more of what i should get

thing is im trying to build a really good gaminrig."not really much of a limiting budget" here, but need to know more about best bang for the buck

hope you understand what i just freakin wrote

**apj101** · 11-11-2005, 11:14 PM

sure i understand, do you have any budget it mind. $1500-$2000
The 4000 is a good choice for gaming, you could drop back to the 3800 venice if you need to spare cash.
Are you planning on overclocking the rig at all??
cpu101 is here

if ur short on cash go with the 3800 and then overclock to a bit higher. but if ur not worrying about moeny then buy the 4000 and u will have a great computer. its single core and will be really fast paired with a gig of ram and a ncie grahpics card.

NO MULA LIMIT, just trying to get the best
