ive still got a week or so to decide (plan on ordering next weekend) im starting to lean more towards build 2 after reading all these links from Rambo. everybody keep your opinions coming. now im off to work, to earn my money for this stuff.

I wouldnt get a intel. I dont understand why you just put more ram in build 1 and since the conroe will be out you can get a better AMD processor.

Rambo · 06-15-2006, 06:06 PM

Well, I've done my part... I can't persuade you any more unless I spam you with more links, but I can't be bothered right now lol...

In the end, it's your decision

m0nk3ys1ms · 06-16-2006, 02:39 AM

13 to 16, build 2 is on top for the first time

It was a relatively easy decision. There are so many "what if's" about getting a processor just to OC it, because of a review. What if you get a bad motherboard revision and it doesn't overclock well at all? What if your CPU can't get past 3GHz? What if, what if... Well, I still say #2, it's dual-core and is (possibly) extremely overclockable. You could definitely outperform any low-end A64 with the 805 @ 3.4GHz.

i just sent the links to my uncle, who is going to help me put it all together, and see what he thinks. i talked him to him for a little while earlier and he said that the AMD chips are hard to beat.

Rambo · 06-16-2006, 11:28 AM

Well, it's 13 to 17 now...

I completely understand about the "What If..." situations though.

As I said, it's just down to you now. You have to make the decision. I'm sure it'll be a good build, no matter what you choose
