NOFX July 5, 2005 Share NOFX Member July 5, 2005 i bet anyone the computer that I built 30 Months ago and still use is close to being on par with todays systems(except for the video card) And the Overclocking counts P4 2.6c@3.2Ghz 241fsb 1 gig PC3200 9500 pro 80 gig special edition 160 Gig External Abit IS-7 865pe chipset 19" Samtron flat CRT Santa Cruz Sound Microsoft Wirless Explorer Altec Lansing Speakers 52x CD burner DVD burner 450 Watt Allied Power Dell keyboard with extra USB hookups I believe I paid under 1000 or about that over a few months while I kept upgrading.. I think it would be pointless to drop 300 bucks on an A64 or newer P4. Now, I would waste the money on a dual-core setup though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I would waste the money on a dual-core setup though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i would disagree. you'd see a noticable increase just going with a baseline 754 2800+ system compared to your 3.2ghz p4. in games anyway. http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2330&p=2 if dual core then a64 is a no brainer. just need money. edit*- added link Edited July 6, 2005 by *|CsLs|*Cujo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOFX July 7, 2005 Share NOFX Member July 7, 2005 my 2.6 overclocked to 3.2Ghz is faster and more powerful than a stock 3.2Ghz for the simple fact that the fsb is 241, which is pushing 1Ghz fsb in Intel terms. Which means it would be slightly better than a stock 3.2Ghz, well, I haven't played with a stock 3.2Gz, but with my experience in Overclocking I know you get more performace with jacking the FSB up. In my case its almost jacked up 25%. a stock 3.2Ghz = 95 fps a stock 3000+ = 100-105 fps I know I would be getting more than 95 fps but for price/performance sake a new 3000+ and motherboard is prob $275. 275 for 5-10 fps, is not a good deal Now a A64 4000+ might be a decent upgrade if you look at the fps and it is still a better price/performace ratio than a 3000+, but who wants to spend 600 bucks for 40 more FPS??

NOFX July 7, 2005 Share NOFX Member July 7, 2005 by the way, I do more than gaming, actually I hardly do any gaming and would base my system on much more than FPS, if you dont have a top of the line video card, those marks won't really matter so much. Whatever I am doing, I know it involves alot of multi-tasking. What I need is a dual processor mobo with dual core processors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclean July 7, 2005 Share Unclean Member July 7, 2005 This sounds suspiciously like the supercharged 4cylinder vs stock V8 discussion. Yes, a supercharged 4 might be fast, but a V8 stock is fast already, and can be tuned to be MUCH faster. There's really not much of a comparison.

NOFX July 9, 2005 Share NOFX Member July 9, 2005 I dont know if I would compare supercharged 4 cylinder(Overclocked HT p4) to a V8 (AMD 64) unless you are doing 64-bit processing, then it would be no comparison. Now if we stay in the 32-bit processing, the AMD 64 is somewhat better, but not worth the cost of the upgrade, in my opinion. Well, let me ask you A64 owners? Have you tried Encoding a DivX movie, playing music, downloading large files and broswing the net at once? How well does it multi-task? My broswer will pop up as if the system was idle and when I install drivers, I dont do it one at a time, I have multiple programs going and when I did this on the 2800+ it was slooow.

I played UT for a little while with WMP playing my metallica S&M CD and all went ok. I used to just have to walk away from my PC when I encoded with my AMD XP 2600+.
