yap that's a VERY nice setup... I wouldn't put 2 7900GTX's tho and save myself 600$... 1 will run ANYTHING just fine, maybe in a year or so you can pick up another one for cheap
 
The only items to even consider swapping are the keyboard and mouse if you have different preferences. Along with that you can order both 32bit versions of XP OEM packages for under $95 at some vendors. The price is down at this late date. Even the retail package with SP2 included is now like $99- at places like Walmart, Target, and a few others.

He does have a lot of money to put on a computer, so why not put 2 7900GTX's in there with the X2 4800+?
 
Well it's hazu's money to do what he wants to with it. You could be seeing a diffferent model board for Crossfire and twin X1900XTXs going in. Maybe the AMD 4800+ X2 wouild be an Opteron 165 instead if not an FX60.
 
well i heard i could OC a fx 60. or fx 62.. i want to go for better processor and best video card.. so if ido that.. its like 4600+ .. now alienware has the same exact deal except for its 200$ more . and i get 3 year warrently plus i get a x-fi.. i dont know i might be wrong thou
 
for 5000$ at alienware, i could get this computer + keyboard and everything listed.. tell me what you guys think..

way2evil said i need bigger harddrive ( no clue why ) so i said what kind of harddrives they offer other then the one i picked.. ( i pickec cheapest one ) cause u did state on msn that Raid 0 give less performance video gaming wise [O M E G A].
 
if you add 512mb + 512mb which are your video cards that is 1gb and you have 2 gb of ram so with those video cards you will only have 1gb of ram for your computer to use. 160gb IMO is not enough. I have a 250GB hard drive and already used like 170GB

I never said that. I said that RAID 0 would improve game and app loading times, as well as file transfer times.


thats weird, because amd doesn't support ddr2, it only takes ddr400

AM2 supports DDR2.
