Im curious are you worried because the 3dmarks score is low or are you experiencing game play that is unsatisfactory. If its just the 3dmarks score save your money or just get a faster x2 for a few bucks. Easy fix no serious hardware overhaul. If you are experiencing game play that you cant...
I think when he said we would see it some time next year he was more referring to the people who scoured the internet for the latest build of "longhorn" before vista was out, or people who test/develop the os. Im sure we will hear about it in more detail next year and i'm pretty sure thats what...
If i could give you any advice it would be to spend the money on the motherboard. With a gaming rig one thing that will kill you is not being able to upgrade. So definitely go for the more expensive mobo. Im a AMD fanboy but from what i hear the 780i is a good choice but some people still go...
Well as the quad cores become the norm im pretty sure (correct me if im wrong) that software will be geared to using more cores. So in the next 5 years which you said is the average life of your computer it would pay off to have a quad core even for the more simple operations on the computer...
Ya know i saw that board also and was thinkin about it. But then i noticed that on the compatibility it only says phenom not phenom FX. I'm not sure if that really matters but i noticed that newegg has the boards separated into boards that support and dont support the phenom FX. So i decided...
Has anyone seen a comparison (3870's vs 8800's) where they use the AMD 7series chipset and AMD processor in the benchmarks against the Intel Chipset/Processor? I mean i see alot of comparisons that have the ATI cards running on Quad Extremes and thats fine and all but that means they miss out...
Lookin for a AMD mobo with 7series chipsets capable of running quads and dual cores (so am2+) Going to use ATI cards in there prolly wont need more than 2 cards. Cheaper is better but quality is first priority. Ive been lookin around on different sites for mobos but any suggestions would...
So I'm building a new comp soon and am wonderin on what vid card to get. Imma go the Ati road but i've noticed that the 3870 lags behind the 8800 in most tests. So im wonderin if ati is coming out with something new. So basically now id just buy a really cheap card to save up money for the...
Hmm yea definitely didn't know am3 may be backwards compatable and i really do need a new setup. I kinda a AMD fan boy so i don't wanna go the Intel route and over clocking isn't something that I've really experimented with (obviously lookin at my build now) so im not sure i want to mess with...
So i am a college student (aka mostly broke) and also an avid gamer when i can be. My computer now is in my sig and as you can see its very behind the times. I am thinking of building a new computer this summer and had a few ideas. I saw This and am not sure if its in my best interest to not...
