Yes but do you really trust a brand named Hipro?
 Just kiddin, but honestly I mean, which would you take the Hipro? or this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817159040 That comes close enough and is a much more trusted company.

New egg is not the best source of this information and is often as it seems in this case plain wrong. I will do a bit more digging, but i stand by my suggestions. Last edited by apj101; 04-03-2006 at 09:37 PM. |

well i'm not going to edit my words, i'll eat a very rare little bit of humble pie, that psu is not that bad. That psu is not half bad. The rail may be 12v1@20 and 12v2@20 but they are 29A all together, but still thats decent.
 so given the price it may be a good option to save to $18 (well $11.50 given my recommendation in post #6) but the coolmax i recommended is still a much better choice psu |

Thanks for the suggestions, I will go with the ABIT board, different HDD and probably one of the ~$50 suggested PSU's.
I originally wanted a 3800 x2 so I will switch back to that also. Is the x800gto comparable to the 7600gt performance wise? I will be using the computer for graphics applications like photoshop cs and games like Oblivion. I realize Oblivion is a huge resource beast so I know I cant expect too much. Although according to an official post on the oblivion forums: http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/i...owtopic=270923 Quote:
With many people complaining about choppy frame rates with 7800gt's and 7900gt's I dont see how a x1600pro "will definitely be able to play Oblivion with all the settings enabled", yea at 10 fps maybe. |
