That proccessor is definitley not weak. Remember that clock speeds aren't nessecarily a measure of processor power.

There's a 3.2 ghz prescott for around 200.

depends on which mobo you're getting. they have different sockets. maybe get a 775

the performance is not determined by frequency alone. i have an amd 3000+ chip that i just replaced my intel 3.0 ghz chip with. although my amd chip runs at 1.8 ghz it performs just as well as the intel chip if not better.

i like the proc i got. its cheap and very easy to overclock

My bad guys, I think I meant to list a 6800GT, but never the less my fault. The Opteron is definetly a performance chip, GHz don't mean much with AMD. A 3200+ Venice will be cheaper but not quite as powerful.

As far as the PSU, I was mentioning this one http://www.insanetek.com/review.php?id=159 I think you can find it for cheaper than the review price though. Reason I like it is because it's a whopping 600watts, perfect for a high performance gaming computer, has great amperage across the board, and is modular. Seeing as I underestimated GFX Card pricing though it might not be feasable.

But yes, purchase from newegg if you want, it shouldn't take too long to ship, and then asemble.

thanks so much now just one question what games are cool????

4W4K3 · 11-30-2005, 03:28 AM

Counter Strike Source, Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Quake 4, F.E.A.R., are the newer fun games. I personally have played...none of them, but everyone raves about them.
