This dosnt exactly belong here, but it dosnt exactly belong anywhere else, and this is where I do most of my posting/conversing, so I will post it here.
Today (Friday) I ordered the components for the computer that I'm building my mom, as well as some things for me.
Next to the things purchased for me, OR the things purchased for my mom that will be switched out with my current components, I have labelled "MINE".
Enjoy.
Other stuff: All MINE!
*2 12" Blue cold cathodes
*Volcano 10 (for 9800 pro)
*8 Tweakmonster copper ramsinks (not BGA)
*Vantec Iceberg 4 Pro w/blue LEDs (for northbridge)
*Clear PSU Mod
*Some blue LED fans
*Window applique, BIOHAZARD (says WARNING: on top, and OVERCLOCKED on bottom)
*Tt CPU Duct Mod (clear tube thing)
*2 24" 2 device Blue rounded IDE cables
*Single Fan rheostat
*2 brushed silver case handles
*Cyclone PCI exhaust fan
*Biohazard fan grille
*ATI Radeon Case Badge
*AS3 and AS Thermal Adhesive
Soon I will have some pics for all you nice people, sry for the delay Gen, my moms digital camera was being repaired.
My Sys:
2700+
A7N8X
2x256 XMS3500
60gb 7.2k rpm WD
ATI 9800 Pro
550w Antec TruePower
19" MAG
Stuff mentioned above.
F.Y.I. on my current mobo (a7n8x pcb. rev. 1.3) I got the new 1004 bios and I can now do 200mhz fsb.
Im currently running at 200*12, memory in sync at 5-2-2-2 (cas 2), aggressive CPU interface, 1.75v vcore. 2.7v ram.
Tried 210fsb, didnt work. Even though I can now do 200mhz fsb, Ill still switch mine out with the pcb rev. 2.0, and see what happens.
At the above settings, 9800 Pro at 420/360 I got 6150 in 3d Mark 2003 Have run card at 440/370 stably, but did not run 3dmark 2003 with it like this, and cpu at 200*12.
When I get new cooling ill run 440/370 and push the CPU some more, and see what happens.
PEACE!

u really suck...but then i wud too if i had what u got there....and two of everything

Lol, Ty.. I guess.
BTW I recently got a Logitech MX500 too, used to have an Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 but it broke. The Explorer was great, but this is even better, I love it. My UT2k3 skillz have increased by 10%, lol.

I remember a few weeks ago when I was ordering all of my stuff, and I was thinking, "Man, this thing is going to be awesome". Especially considering I was upgrading from my p3 1000 with Geforce (original).
I hope your installation goes trouble free, but considering you have a lot more practice with this than me, I am sure it will.
Man, u suck more now . but i still wonder y u didnt get urself a p4 2.4c or 2.8c with a canterwood board. just wondering...thats some cool stuff u got there.

Well lets see.
AMD rocks Intel sux, im an AMD fanboy, I have lots of experience with AMD platforms, none with Intel platforms.
2.8c and canterwood board costs more also.
2500 = 80
Board = 128
You're building your mother???? OMG!!!!! You perv!!!!
nice nice, can u elaborate on the LCD please? I could give a few pointers.....
I have a blue cold cathode lying around, have no idea wtf to do with it tho, I mean I used every power plug on my case, and there isn't much room left. Maybe I'll save it for my next rice...errrr cool case
hmm, do I represent the "etc."?
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening.
Its a 15" TDV LCD, not the best, but only $210 on www.tigerdirect.com Look on there if you want info about it.
Honestly, I cant tell a difference visually between a 200$ 15" LCD and a $400 15" LCD.
As long as they have the same specs/resolution, then theres really no difference. One may last longer than another but I'm not worried about that.
I had to get a cheapy because of budget constraints.
The way u have gone out on ur new build, i thot money was not that much of a problem to restrict u from getting an INTEL. but then again, AMD has always been a "logical" (read that as economical) solution, for me too.
Congrats on all that new stuff....

This is an AMD board, so if you don't like AMD, fine, but stfu. I didn't even THINK about getting Intel. And my next platform will be an nForce 3 board, with PCIX, an r420 and an Athlon 64, thankyou very much.
Chill out dude!! AMD is no doubt good. but today you have better options to choose from Intel. All I did was just ask ur opinion...not to start another flame war here.

Yeah, one who would reject considering the EXCELLENT price/performance of a 2.4GHZ with 800MHZ FSB AND HyperThreading, needs serious schooling. That is unless he didn't have the money right from the beginning and needs very low-budget CPUs.

I agree that right now, Intel is a viable option, but it wasnt for me!!! Flame me all you want, but im a fanboy. Im not an ATI or nVidia fanboy, im not a fanboy of anything else that I know of either, but I am an AMD fanboy.
And Eden, in your post before this one you said "I have my doubts about Athlon 64, so you should as well."
Are you saying that SOLELY because YOU have doubts, I should too? Telling me I should have doubts is one thing, saying I should have them simply because you do is quite another.
But, yes, I do have some doubts, just as I would with almost anything. The Opteron server benchmarks did good in some things, ok in others, and poorly in others.
But I'm confident for a few reasons.
First of all I dont want a 1.6 or 1.8 ghz Athlon 64. Thats BS. This things highly scalable so I want some big numbers. Im planning on doing a system upgrade q2 of 2004, and Im hoping there will be some Athlon 64s with clock speeds much higher than 1.6 or 1.8 ghz.
Secondly... NFORCE 3 WITH UBER FAST MEMORY!!! That ends my argument.
Oh, and Eden? Hyperthreading SUCKS ASS!!!
Good idea, but not evolved well right now. Has potential, but currently is gay. Helps with a very limited range of applications, MIGHT help with Doom3, but for other games, if anything it slows it down.
IF I DID get a p4, I would definately disable hyperthreading. I mean, I do use photoshop, and SOMETIMES I even use the filters that it actually increases performance for! But thats not enough to justify its current overwhelming gayness.
Ok you're right I misphrased my statement. I meant that at the moment with the current stakes, no one should put all their eggs into the Athlon 64 basket. Not when Prescott looms around with 0.09m. That thing will rape.
nForce 3? Have you any links to major performance improvements it will bring? What if it's ONLY a feature-packed nVidia chipset like the nForce 2, but made for K8?

One who'd even consider an Opteron for ANYTHING other than server use such as database, like workstation use, should be shot down. It sucks plain out, even with SSE2, in workstation use, which is US users.

You know what's funny?
You as almost all of us fell into a virtual hype trap. Hyperthreading NEVER WAS MEANT to be performance-wise better. It was meant to make MULTITHREADING, hence multitasking as its real side-effect, better. Why on earth people perceived it as a a huge performance booster is beyond me. If they wanted that, invest it on Athlon K7, because with 9 IPCs, it can stand to fill the pipes. The Pentium 4 cannot benefit so much more. It only will in multitasking majorly. So you as everyone, stop looking at HT this way. HT is primarily multitasking enhancement, and at that, it makes the job of millions. A 3.6GHZ non-HT was slower than a 3.06GHZ HT enabled.
Even more convincing is that the 2.8GHZ 800MT CPU is leaps stronger than an XP3200+. I'll grant you with full agreement the low-end for AMD. An XP2400 or 2600+ costs so little it's only bankrupting AMD!
