Oh man, check this deal

3500+ You can't beat that for a while there bro.

hahahahhaa

 

Commy just made my day

 

anywho.. the only thing bothers me is the AMD processor, everything pretty much I drooled over, I just like a powahful gaming rig, but thats too much to ask isn't it ? lol

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

forget the times where Intel was the absolute king, AMD has released som really powerful processors, I´m using one of them right now

 

I learned to love AMD when on a previous job had a K6 300, that thing worked good, almost nothing to envy to a celeron 900, maybe a little more memory, but that machine amazed me, it performed perfectly, taking into account the generation and speed

[sf2_ryu]

i don't think straight so i'm not sure whats a good deal or not >_<

[Wizard]

Another random heads up. AMD has actually been showing in the benches that it is much better for gaming over Intel's series. Also the fact that AMD64 is paractically built on whole 32bit proggies.

i would say this deal is too good to be true, so u should watch out when u buy this and make sure ur paying for the real thing

Yeah, AMD is completely owning the gaming market. They are also gaining in the server market. Muahahaha!

The way I understood it ( and this info maybe false, I don't know), Intel's 64-bit processors only work with 64-bit applications and lack the older 32-bit architecture... while AMD64's can work with both in tandem.

yess, unlike other 64 bit processors, AMD ahmmer series were built with an architecture based on an extended set of the 32 bit ones, so they work with both 32 and 6+ bits application, and the best thing is that the potential of these micros haven´t been unleashed yet, when more 64 bits application start appearing this thing will rock

hey guys, looks like I'm buying this rig, the seller will deliever this to my house on car, anywho.. right now I'm very aware of what he is trying to sell, for all I know is, the rig can be damage on the inside, or something isn't right.

 

can I get some advice on the inspection before buying the rig ?

[Wizard]

Turn it on.

[Gryph]

Turn it on. Get 3DMark05 and keep running that demo over and over again. That will stress test your PC to the max.

3DMark05 ? tell me more and I like a link if it's ok.

[Wizard]

Google it. Basically it tests out everything before hand, at least, software wise. Do a physical check up with the unit. Opening it up, checking the cards etc etc etc.

You can get the free version. Yeah, but first make sure the computer looks physically OK. The reason I'm suggesting 3DMark05 is that it tests the graphics card too. The true PC torture test is Prime95 which puts your CPU and RAM through hell. Atleast with 3DMark you'll be able to see how well your PC does 3D. Oh yeah, don't be dismayed when you get low scores, EVERYONE gets low scores. That program is made to use graphics that games won't be having for a long time. If you want to, you can get 3DMark03 (there is no 04) and run that. Atleast it'll run faster than 05 and it still looks good.

[Wizard]

Doesn't hurt to actually bite it either.

 

Man where those guys going "WTF" when I chewed on the Celeron.
