I still don't get the x9000. It's slower than both the e8400 and e8500, but it's around $600 more expensive.
Is intel charging us $600 for an unlocked multiplier? Lame.
I need a wireless router with great range.
I need to be able to work in my house and across the street at a neighbors house.
any suggestions?
or does everything cary the basic [100m indoor/400m outdoor range]
I need money for a car, so I've decided to sell some of my computers off.
Laptop
First up, an Ibuypower laptop. Purchased a little over a year ago. The only problem with it is that it has no right shift key face and no OS.
Pentium M 1.6GHz Banias (1mb L2)
Radeon 9700 mobility 128mb...
DDR2 has also dropped quite a bit in price (a little over 100 for a gig).
You could put together a kickass intel system (read: 4ghz) for cheap. Honestly, Intel's stuff is far more atractive in terms of technology.
Uh...before the A64, they never kicked ass.....
their xp cores were clocked lower, but they didn't match the p4's. (3200 xp got raped by a 2.8 p4 in almost everything)
besides, the ATi cards are simply a better value....
($270 for an XL vs. $350 for a GT? they trade blows performance wise, so it's not hard to see who the winner is...).
I'd go with the 955x. From what I've seen, the OCing capabilities were amazing, and that was on an Intel board. just wait till ASUS/Abit get their hands on this one.....
my opinions on this matter:
the pm 770 is an ass cpu. Lower multiplier and higher fsb makes for lower overclocking. Plus, it's more expensive, so the thing is a loser all the way through.
As far as the asus motherboards....you can nab a board for less then a hundred, the adapter will be...
get a zalman cnps7700 all copper. It's about the same price, if not cheaper, as the xp-120, already comes with a fan, and provides the quietest air cooling available.
