prices

I want a decent computer,
But I feel like I'm paying too much for this one or are these really the prices.
Never had any money for decent computer parts so I am clueless.

OC'ed E8500 would be better, the quads kinda sucks, except for the Q6600 none is really high clockable

Q6600 FTW, Dual is getting old now. I had it in my first úber computer, that was like 2004, thats like nearly 5 years this year coming :D.

Dual core from AMD has been around for a lot longer, I payed around £400 for my processor then.

Hadn't been out long though, but it had.

AMD and intel are completely different
there are no difference between dual and quad except for the extra 2 cores which does nothing besides been able to do more tasks in the same time
duo has more power for it's GHZ

The clock frequency on Dual are obviously higher, it was first released like the quad though. The quad will slowly gain it's speed just like the dual has, they are the same AMD, they both have 2 cores, ones faster ones slower.

Quad is going to be improvised in upcoming games, software will support it and it's going to be better isn't it?

I have had many dual cores, I have tried a lot of computers. The Quad has been by far the best experience so far.

btw check out i7

im buying the core i7 since its MUCH better than the Q9550, which is barely clockable
im almost sure there wont be any more core 2, i believe so, quad will be much stronger, but not the core 2 / 775 socket, if you want an quad, go for the core i7, if not, 775 socket is duo
and no, 775 socket quads wont be as good as the dual, so buying core 2 quad is useless

1st paycheck and buying new pcke sil? :p

sword 28 Nov 2008, 21:52
seems good sil, just get better PSU (already said) and a GTX 260+ instead of 4870 (nVidia is better in openGL games (then in ET))

And if you use Win XP, 4Gb memory are useless, he'll recognize only 3 Gb.
So 2Gb are enough.

overpriced.

-Just get hd4870 512mb -> 100€ cheaper
-You should be able to get some decent memory with 60-70€
-E8400 (150€) instead of E8500 (160€)
-motherboard is overpriced as well
-you could get cheaper hardrive too, although samsung is one of the best producers atm.. still I think it should be cheaper somewhere else.
