I'd say there is. Whether you can afford to spend 2500 EXTRA dollars or not. Thats still 2500 dollars that you wasted. |

yes, i've looked in the BIOS, and it is definately overclockable. fireal...im sorry but theres no way you could get this system for $1000. cmon, the cpu alone is worth about $800 from most online stores. i dont have time to look at the timings right now, i gotta head off to work wallbash:
ill do it when i get home

i had almost the same as that, but it ran not even HALF as good. for one, fx-53 will out perform the 3000+, and you dont actually think 512mb of ram can compete with 1gig+? i have a dvd-rom, external dvd-rw, double the hdd space...so tell me..how are they the same? |
