That's kind of what i was thinking

I mean, the FX is a waste of money, just like the EE.Could you explain in english?
Thats a waste of a HDD if he's using it for gaming...Also, a second SATA II HDD for RAID 0 when he upgrades.
Need details on the parts ... the above is too generic: what are the revisions? core names? Full model numbers etcAMD Athlon 64 FX-55 - Zalman 120mm cooling
ASUS 7800GTX
Gigabyte GA-K8N Pro SLI
X-Navigator - 500W PSU - 34A-12v
1Gb OCZ DDR500 Cas: 2
250Gb SATA II - Windows Home SP2
Dual Sony DVD-RW Burner
Me.Would anyone suggest Dual core over FX?
As if anyone would notice a difference in a singlethreaded game (cuz they sure as hell would notice in a multithreaded game)no, go fx for a gamer...definitely.
Not that it's that great ... the EVGA KO is vastly superior (not to mention a kickass warranty and a half)Nice! Is he getting Asus's TOP version of the 7800?
Or get a FX55 and overclock it to 3.4... or ... or ... or...get the 3000+ and overclock it to 2.6
For what purpose (other than to simply have two drives in RAID0)?You should consider getting 2 74GB raptor drives running in RAID 0. Get another HDD later.
Unless you're gonna be messing around with the multipliers theres no point really in getting them...Could you explain in english?
Good board, the DFI LanParty UT NF4SLI-DR is better though ... its a bit of a maintainance board and u do need to get knee deep into it but if you do, it's vastly superiorEDIT, mobo = MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI
Eeeek!You should be able to get alot more than that for $2300. The rig in my sig cost my around $2185.
That would still be stupid ... yer better off keeping itwell.. he can spend the monney of somebody else..
Now if you're buying (or suggesting) a performance FX based system running at stock clocks ...... i wont say any more.anyway. get a 3000+ and OC it to 2.7GHz. then it has the same ferformance of that $820 processor.
Why not get all of it? Hell can do pretty much the same thing on 2500CAD without all that much work....Realistically, what do you think of 4600+ or 4800+, get a second gig of RAM now, and get 2nd 7800GTX when he can spend that $700 later.
1. It's 1MB L2 cacheHow about 4400+, cuz I want the 2Mb L2 Cache (2.2 Ghz can always be overclocked, Cache can't). 2 Gigs OCZ DDR500, and BFG Tech 7800GTX. Is BFG tech 7800 better than ASUS? reaons?
Consider yourself corrected K8 motherboards of this class dont have onboard memory controllers.Correct me if im wrong but isn't the DDR standard on The MSI Neo4 Platinum SLI mobo DDR400?
As you know, FXs are only top dog for single tasking environmentsdual cores good for future proofing but fx's are top dog
Thats funny... cuz ther 7800class cards use less power than the 6800class ones..with at least 30A on the 12V rail(s). It will especialy come in handy if you run two GPU's and hard drives later on.
So if I've got a 3000USD budget for a heavy server with at least 2TB HDD and 4GB of RAM, you'd suggest I get the Pentium D?I mean, the FX is a waste of money, just like the EE.
