these are custom desinged system becuase my parents won't let me put it togther becuase they want a warrenty

which one would you choose

 

[FUGGER]

None, AMD sucks. why buy now when crush will be in your face soon? VIA is supposed to be good too. but then again go blow your cash and GL on stability with the current lame choices for chipsets.

 

[Renegade87]

Dude,

Go with the first one. The quality & performance of the individual components is much better than the second listed system. The $200 price difference is insignificant.
Too bad you couldn't get all that with the ASUS mobo and the DDR memory.

I agree with fugger, to an extent. (if i understood what he is saying)

AMD Doesn't suck, but most of the chipsets for them now are crap. I personally would wait for nVidia's offerings

[wapaaga]

i porabollay could but the guy would have to order and i'm not sure how much that might add to the cost of it

plus any was he has had good luck with the giga byte board and i figure at least it is no a no name board

 

[wapaaga]

yeh but i don't have the time to wait for it to come out becuase i need it soon so i figure i have to go with whats out there

 

[FUGGER]

Nvidia has the capability to mass produce and get these to market very very fast, don't be supprised on how soon they reach pricewatch.com.

 

[wapaaga]

YEH BUT I'M HAVING THIS BLUIT BECAUSE MY PARENTS WANT A WARRENTY ON IT

and i don't know how long it will take them to get all the retalliers on the boat

any ways i can just go and switch out the mobo and get ride of my sound card when it comes out and sell the mobo on ebay and make a few bucks off of it and do the same to the sound card

 

[rcf84]

go for the first one.

Radeon 64mb is faster then a MX400 64mb.

Asus ALA266 (Magik 1) isnt a bad mobo

i mostly picked it due to the radeon 3d power.

Nice Intel and AMD users get a Cookie.... Yummy

 

[wapaaga]

so the consense is to see if i can get an asus braod

i like the radon becaue i'm going to hock a vcr up to it and also paly dvd with it and to add that in it will have
the capablity to play games

 

[rcf84]

or get the other system replace the MX400 with the Radeon 64mb. Radeon is a better card over all.
