Intel vs. AMD

Creaky, I tried to do that! I've no intention of fouling this forum, and tbh I think you're the actually the best mod on aD (no I'm not looking to win praise, I mean it). I've linked to the DVDhounds thread rather than ask for his post to be put here, given what happened, he may or may not be too keen on that. L8ter's one of those mod-flaming idiots of which I am not. No matter what has happened on a forum, people like that are a nuisance, so tbh he can think anything he likes of you.
Hopefully come June 6th we'll have enough material to chat our way of this hole that's starting to appear again.

 

? Sorry, could you explain why you've posted that again?

 

Sure. What got me is that the second post arrived a full 47 minutes after, that's why I didn't think it was an accident.

 

I have an intel 2.4 cpu chip. any suggestions on a mother board?

 

@Baltekmi,
Is it pentium or celeron?
Will you overclock or not?

 

I have a 2.4 ghz 800 FSB Pentium 4 C "northwood" overclocked stable to 3.2 ghz witn a DFI lanparty 875B PRO REV B. I of course am using an aftermarket heatsink. I have it 1:1 FSB 267 with OCZ PC4200 1024 MB Performance Edition. I get pretty good benchmarks for what I have. This motherboard is very stable and I perferred it over the Asus P4C-800 Deluxe. Hope this helps with your 2.4 ghz chip.

Well, I've been answered for already!

But as they say, against an FX-60. An FX-62?

 

well let me start off and ask is all the polatics in here over..lol
as Micheal Jackson once said cant we all just get along???? enough from me..lol
now back to the D805. i see alot of board out there that are being bulit with the D820 why if the 805 is better would they use the 820? i dont mean people building there own in here, talking about places like DELL.HP. etc....ive been looking at some of there sites and they dont even offer the 805 as a option just 820 and up?i mean i know its about the money and the 820 is more, but if the 805 is a better CPU why wouldnt you use it?
im not completely sold on the D805 yet but leaning that way. for my first build. as for the amd's is there a better CPU from them then the D805? from what i have been looking at and pricing for(amd) some reason the good stuff from amd is higher than intel. which is a total reversal from things in the past. am i just miss informed or totally lost???

 

That's scary, MJ has just this second come on itunes random shuffle. Weird. As for the D805 it's a slow CPU without OCing and I can't see Dell endorsing OC, so maybe that's why.

 

Yeah that'd be my guess, OEM builds aren't usually capable of being OCed.

 

Please comment on this new rig [havent ordered anyhting yet]. I'm hoping that everything cooresponds with one another just fine. If you see anything unusual or anything that needs to be fixed, PLEASE TELL ME.

Thanks so much.

I'm also getting a new 19inch LCD moniter. Havent picked one out yet, but if you know of any excellent brands and/or any really bad brands, please note that aswell.

Thanks so much!

It's all good but unless you're a dedicated hardcore of Crossfire, I'd pick a normal motherboard and up to 2GB of RAM. The 1900XT will prefer having 2GB of system memory.

 

Is Patriot RAM any good? Never heard of it.

 

jpchipps ,go with an Veiwsonic LCD montior they have an 19" that has a 2ms respone time i think it runs about 329.00 heres there website to look at them

http://viewsonic.com/

Also DONT post your email addy it your post its against forum rules and you might get spammed if the wrong person gets ahold of it

 

I've been running Patriot now in all my computers w/o any problems and my new build will have it to. Very down to earth pricing,quality & support. Of course this is my own opinion [from New egg & Micro Center]. Cheers Chris

 

Right now that monitor is a cover page offer of $299.99 at http://www.tigerdirect.com/ and I seriously thought about it with my new build (parts in tomorrow) but the cost had already skyrocketed. Any tips on getting my ASUS A8N32-SLI up and running out of the box easy?

 

aabbccdd: Hell yes, 2ms Viewsonic monitors, cream of the crop. Forgot to mention about the email address, It just didn't occur to me. Patriot RAM is high quality stuff tbh, but Corsair seems to be the esteemed favourite.
That mobo should be easy to set up anyway, plug it in and off you go much like most boards. You may want to acquaint yourself with the manual though, it has bucketloads of features.
