Looks like the CPU is getting upgraded then!
Here's a good question though, on ebay I see used Toledo X2 939's selling for 130-170 bucks! If I remember correctly that's more than I paid for mine... anyone explain why the price is so high? Seems like selling it is the obvious choice... do...
Thanks for all the replies guys. I should have said in my original post it's not just TF2 that doesn't run how I want it to, it's all games. MW2 only runs on low or medium, Crysis the same, etc. I want to run current games with good settings smoothly. Seems like I'll probably have to upgrade...
Ahh okay, thanks for the reply. So it seems by your reply that you think the 9800GT 512MB should be okay running at 1680x1050 and isn't the biggest problem? And that if I got those new things I could keep this video card?
Well, I have a MSI Neo4-SLI mobo with 2GB of ram and an x2 4800+ running stock. I have a PNY 9800GT 512MB I picked up for around 100 from best buy a month ago or so.
I game at 1680x1050.
I can not run TF2 on low-medium settings over 40FPS in larger fights with my current setup. When nobody...
I have here a slightly used (tested, guaranteed to not be DOA) 3200+ Winchester for 939. Comes with the heatsink and complimentary thermal grease.

how much of a bandwidth hit would i notice if i hooked the cd drive (which i probably wouldn't be using much at all) and the harddrive (which would be my one and only hd) up using the same cable?? the computer will be for audio work, recording/mixing/arranging
Well, I'm assembling an old via computer with a 2700+ chip. I have a 40gb IDE harddrive I want to connect. Right now, the CD Drive is connected to the mobo with an IDE cable. This same IDE cable also has another female connector on it that would fit into my harddrive's IDE port.
My question is...
I bought a 4800+ X2 recently for 270.
Someone told me that this was idiotic and there was absolutely no reason to get this as opposed to an Opty, because I could get the Opty to at least 2.8...
I'm kinda bummed out that I just spend almost 300 dollars for a chip that is overshadowed by a...
Thanks for all the help guys.
The primary reason I am getting an upgrade to a dual core is because I do alot of developing and digital audio work. Obviously I will see an enormous increase in the multitasking capabilities. With audio software like Ableton Live and other DAWs that support...
hm, that doesn't really answer my question on the actual percievable (and benchmarked) differences between that of a 1mb cache versus a 512 mb cache...
it is a definite consideration, though...
any other advice? perhaps more full-featured?
well, it's christmas, and i believe it's due time to upgrade this 3200+ to a dual core.
a month ago, i looked on newegg, they had a 4800+ which had a 1mb cache, as opposed to a 4600+ with only a 512..
so i thought, awesome, i'll wait a little bit for the price to drop around christmas...
i have an enermax liberty 600w

thanks for the help
I am doing immense musical works which use a large amount of samples (in both .wav and mp3 format) playing all at the same time, and often my 7200 320GB Seagate SATA2 suffers disk overload. The drive has been benchmarked very well for it's type, and in some aspects, is comparable to a Raptor. My...
Is 40-45 running too hot? I have done all I can to ventilate my case, have 3 120mm fans on high, and its 40-45..
I've heard that this is fine, and i've also heard that this will take away lifespan of the drives
can someone tell me for sure?
I want a program that will show me what folders/files are using up the most space on my different harddrives, preferably displayed hierarchically.
I know such a thing exists, I just can't remember the link.
Thanks alot guys! I need to tidy up but don't really know where the bulk of my...

I need to be more neat. I use quicklaunch alot, and basically want a way to get all my shortcuts to programs so I can access them without going thru menus. There is a big cluster of...

i mean, at least in the maps provided with the weapons provided.
the gravity stuff seemed like a gimmick, and I got bored of the MP after like one or two maps. it just seemed like slower paced quake 3...
they need to make maps which utilize the gravity in very unique ways... something...
