How does this build look?

Tystrasza · 09-02-2006, 10:15 PM

I bought it b4 but it was 24 in my mobo was 20 i didnt know it came with a 20adapt.. so, about the mobo.. lol, adz gave me a link to another mobo but it was socket 939 an my proc was AM2.. so should i stay with my current mobo or hmmm? Some one said that i should go with 800 on the RAM from the 675 i have listed, can you direct me to the page for a good 800RAM that is under $200?

thanks for the help so far though glad some ones listening

there is some DDR2 800 at C5 but you can OC it to C4 if you want or to Higher clock speeds since that yields better performance

How much better is that 800 compaired to the 675? tons, or very small? They are almsot the same price, just curious.

well that Isquaredinc place i just found looking for the CORSAIR modules since they were so expensive at newegg but HIGHER FREQUENCIES yield better results so i would go witht eh DDR2 800 and try and OC it as igh as possible

Have you considered going with a Core 2 Duo build? For the moment they've retaken AMD's grip over gaming.

How long till AMD takes that back though? I am hesitant to go back to intel..

I would still like thoughts about the motherboard..

It will be a while before AMD will be able to come up with a processor to beat Intel's Core 2 Duo line. Right now (and I'd say into the next year as well) Intel will be king.

It's impossible to know, AMD is coming out with K8L in about a year, but you can't know if it's going to beat Intel's latest offerings untill it comes out. I'm sure AMD is going to have something which will beat conroe, it's just a matter of when, like you said.

While it's true that Socket AM3 CPU's will be backwards compatible with socket AM2, you should really just go with what's best right now.
