Default new pc - 10-16-2004, 03:42 PM

[img]http://www.joe-ks.com/archives/PortablePC.jpg[/img]


Well this is all I can afford at the moment but hopefully it'll do the job nicely, haven't had a new PC in like 5 years...

# 400Watt Black Zorro Case
# Intel Pentium 4 3Ghz 800fsb 1mg Cache Retail Processor
# Asus P4S800-MX Motherboard
# 120Gb Hard Drive
# 512Mb DDR400 PC3200 Ram
# SIS Real 256E Integrated Graphics
# ADI AD1888 SoundMAX 6-channel CODEC Integrated Sound (S/PDIF out interface)
# DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive
# Floppy Drive
# 10/100 Mbps LAN Network Port (Broadband & Network ready)
# Serial Port
# 6 x USB2.0 Ports
# 2 x PS/2 Ports
# VGA, Audio I/O Ports
# Printer Port
# 12 Months RTB Warranty

As long as it has the Printer Port and the Floppy, who cares cool:

The graphics will obviously be updated as soon as I can but will have to put up with a Geforcefx5200 for the moment.

Do any of you dudes/dudettes plan on upgrading soon or have you already stuck your screw drivers into some floppys 8==D

2 things im thinking of are a tft monitor and maybe a 3.2 prescott which should hit 4ghz pretty easily. Im set for hl2 and pacific assault, they'll run with no problem. Next real upgrade will probably be june enxt year or around that.

Now I don't think I'd ever risk doing it but say if I were to overclock that 3.0ghz, what speed could it reach?

Depends on the chip ram timings etc, my 2.8 i can get 3.6 out of. You'd probably get around 3.4 or more out of it without any real messing with it.

Sounds fucking great to me, unless you're an uber nerd, that's all you need. I think if you doubled your ram it would be a crazy mo-fuggin' system.

I'll be upgrading to:

A64 s939 3200+ 90nm (overclocks insanely high + stock performs like 3400+ .13m)
DFI's new s939 mobo whenever it's out.
Maxtor 300GB 7200rpm w/ 16MB cache SATA
Fortron 530W PSU
Thermalright XP-90 w/ 92mm Panaflo M1A



Plus current 6800GT @ 421/1100 (hopefully will oc higher when I get a real PSU) and 1gb of Corsair XMS PC3200C2.
