depends on the benchmarks.

True.

I'm thinking Dual core with Hyperthreading would be freakin' nasty though.

Intel had a demo setup at IDF were they had a Quad Dual Core setup with hyperthreading.

So it was 8 physical and 8 virtual processors.

Second picture down.

dual core mid 2005 probably

But are you going dual core AMD or Intel?

Any updates?

I don't hate Crucial because i spent 300 bucks on their RAM and it craps out the next day

You ever get a replacement man>?

I'll prolly continue to buy ABIT for the foreseeable future.

the NF7-S 2.0 is the best motherboard I have ever owned, which is prolly why I have 3 of them and 2 of my friends have them. All of them are running overclocked Athlon XP's, 4 of which are running @ 3200+ speeds or higher. The that isn't clocked @ 3200+ or higher contains a 2000+ athlon xp that is clocked @ 2400+ levels.

Buddy of mine has had problems from ABIT and intel chipsets, but most all of the problems were directly related to insanely high Overclocking situations or user error.

ABIT boards are bullet proof when it comes to running a computer @ stock speeds, and are at the top of my list when it comes to wanting a board that will overclock.

kill,

how does a laptop cool a 3.0 ghz p4?

 

Aug

Heatpipes, Copper, and millions of dollars in R&D.

Alright where are pictures of this HEMI Ram?

the 9800 Pro doesn't really have any drivers though.

Lil' more info can be found there.

8500 was a great card.

I still use mine for Unreal 2K4.

Me and 2 of my buddies all got our 8500's at the same time.

Came with HL and CS too.

Will you need HL2 to play CS:S?

You can do it that way, or just buy CS: S as a stand alone product on Steam.

the hdd mod is nice

True.

I wanna see pics of the outside though.

Now you're just showing off.

Tru.

Just wish it was mine.

behind the case

guts of the case

Got any pics of the rest of the case?

lol not sure at since its a dell ill try and find out though

nm.

It's prolly got an Intel reference board.

I'm getting nothing on this end.

Got her workin'.

Seems all good.

You may wanna log out and back in Bird, there was an update today.

Rgr.

I think I may have, but I'll do it again.

it says i have 3 PCI, 1 PCI express x1, and 1 PCI express x16

Nice.

What motherboard you have?

Didn't try that one, but woke up this morning and it was working fine.

I'm getting nothing on this end.

It's stickied, so I'd assume it works.

I wish.

I've tried all the suggestions listed in the steam forums and none of them help.

Kinda sux.

It was working great on one of my computers, and now it doesnt work at all on either one.

I have the option to download the files it takes to run a dedicated beta server inside of my steam control panel.

So I'm guessing you need to have a cd key for CZ or an ATI bundle key in order to run a server.

Either way I can't seem to play at all today on either one of the computers the game is on.

Worked fine last night.

neither will x800XT's

Sad but true.

When you say PCI, do you mean PCI Express?

I'll do my brothers though.

6478marks in 3dmark03

Motherboard 90

Ram 95

Processor 80

Video Card 450

Total: 715

= 9.06

If I go by current video card prices then it would be

Motherboard 90

Ram 95

Processor 80

Video Card 375

Total: 640

= 10.12

I could do this, but it wouldn't make sense.

I got my RAM, Processor, and Motherboard for free.

the 6800 stomps the 9800 XT.

And it should.

The 5950Ultra is the direct competition for the 9800XT.
