| I just went to the computer store and ordered parts for my new PC. Here are the parts: Case: CPU: AMD XP 3200+ 64Bit (BOXED) Mobo: Epox 8HDA3+ Memory: 2 * 512MB DDR RAM (400 mhz, forgot the manufacturer) HD: IDE 200 GB 7200 RPM Seagate 8MB buffer Floppy: 1.44 Black GFX Card: ATI Radeon X800 Pro 256MB DVD: DVD ROM Black DVD Writer: NEC ND2510 Black Sound: Onboard (6.1 surround) Network: Onboard Monitor: 19" TFT 910N Keyboard: Office KB Black Mouse: Logitech Click Optical Think that'll be a pretty decent gaming PC? They told me the CPU clocks at about 3 GHz and I can still change the FSB in the BIOS if it's not to my likings and such. (edited by Coby on 07-14-04 07:39 AM) |

| There's no such thing as a 64-bit AMD XP. There are AMD Athlon XP's, which are 32-bit only, and AMD Athlon 64's, which have both 32-bit and 64-bit modes. And no, it doesn't clock around 3GHz; the Athlon XP 3200+ clocks at 2.2GHz, and the Athlon 64 3200+ clocks at 2GHz, IIRC. Other than that, it looks pretty sweet to me. |

| It said AMD XP 3200+ 64 Bit on the paper, here in the book where I selected it it says "AMD XP 64Bit 3200+ skt754 Boxed" I'll see how much it clocks, else I'll just OC it. (edited by Coby on 07-14-04 08:12 AM) |

It has the VIA K8T800 chipset, which doesn't have a PCI/AGP clock lock -- that means that if you overclock your processor, you'll overclock the PCI and AGP busses too; that can lead to hard drive data corruption, and the graphics card not working right. |

Oh well, it'll still be fast enough for a bit of gaming. (And I'm not talking Unreal Tournament 2004 or Doom 3 here, I'm talking Black & white and such.  ) |

It'll be MORE than fast enough for current games -- Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 though... well, who knows until they've actually been released?  Btw: I'm running a P4 2.8C (800MHz FSB + HyperThreading), with a Radeon 9700 Pro, and I can play comfortably at 1600x1200 in UT2004, so you won't have any worries if you like to play that. |

Anyway, we should stop the back-and-forth posting... if you'd like to talk with me more about that, feel free to send a PM. EDIT: Screwed up the quote. (edited by NightHawk on 07-14-04 10:45 AM) |
