Basicly your not going to hit 20,000 or 15,000 3dmarks no offense just dont get your hopes up.

I dont know which cooling i will get but i sure will find out from compusa tech shop.
I know some overclockers down there.

Ill make sure to get the right tools. to boost this baby.
Beside the X2 5000+ is clocked at 2.6 GHz and equipped with 1x 1 MB L2 cache. Thats like 2 fx 55.
With the help of OCZ PC4000 Dual Channel Gold VX DDR Memory and LIQUID NITROGEN and that processor i should hit more then 20k

Now i have 5000.00 us dollars to spend. This should be enough to build it to the EXTREME LEVEL

That bloke had over $8000 to play with and didnt reach 20k (well he probs could if he tweaked it). Fair enough he got a $1800 monitor and prices drop quickly lol. I dunno well good luck and your machine will be a beast anyway so what does it matter. Games will be able to be played on highest settings for atleast 4 years I would say maybe longer.

on highest setting? have you tryed using a $5000 machine from 4 years ago on today games? what make you think that things going to increase at a much slower pace then the last 4 years?

Well I had a £1000 machine from 5 years ago and could play games on low resalution. And it worked fine. So well I do think one worth over 5 times the price with two graphics cards rather than one would be able to handle it

I have a fx-55 and a geforce 6800ultra from about one year ago and I cant play all games on max settings. There no way in hell a 4 year old computer going to be playing today games on max settings. in 4 years a single graphic card will proberly be more powerful then x1900 in crossfire. Any one that think they going to be playing on max settings in 4 years is a fool.

its like 2 fx55.....Why not a FX-60 then? thats a dual core fx...

I would also like to know where you are going to get your hands on liquid nitrogen.

You're asking CompUSA employees about liquid nitrogen cooling...

let me be the first to bust my gut here.

$5K won't last you 4 years. In all actuallity any amount of money won't last you 4 years. In 4 years, new technology and hardware will be developed, that will easily trump our current systems. Unless money can take you into the future and get you new technology and hardware, I'd advise looking at maybe 1 year max for a "top of the line system", after that, it will only be 2nd or 3rd best.

It's ok Pr0, we all make mistakes sometimes. This just happens to be one of the very big ones.

Dude I already have some of the parts for my setup all i need is the x2 5000+ and liquid nitrogen and that 2 more gigs oc'ed to max out. That guy didnt know how to oc his pc. With 5000.00 i can get that setup!!! and past that 3dmark 05 with 20k+. I'll oc the videocards and the processor when i get the liquid nitrogen..

5000.00 US CASH IS ENOUGH FOR THE PARTS.

maybe, but instead of going for 3Dmark05 why not go for 06, i mean he built his comp in 05 so it was kinda harder for him to get that score than you. so its kinda cheap
