What cpu? [e]
Hai gais :o
[e²] Thx, appreciate the input. I decided to get a better Mainboard so I can still upgrade
to any c2q or c2d in the future. The i7 is just way to expensive and imo not really needed if you only game. An e8xxx or a quadcore would do just fine imo and with the Asus P5Q-E I think I'd have a good solution for future upgrades. (The P5Q-Pro would also do but this one has better chipset cooling :P) Still gonna buy a e5200 tho because it has the same architecture as the c2d's, is made in 45nm process so it's nice for overclocking and is ofc cheap! :P
ps: Anyone interested in a 8 month old 8600GTS 512 from MSI? Will give away cheap! pm
keke have decided on these components but will wait till mid december when the christmas shit hits so I can save a little more :O
MB - Asus P5Q-E
CPU - e5200
MEM - 2GB Corsair Dominator (gonna use XP)
CASE - Antec "This is Sparta" 300 :D
Would be 280€ but as I said I'm going to wait till Christmas and hopefully save 50€~
Already have:
HD4850 (39° idle, haha to suckers with temp. problems :D)
Corsair hx550w
Harddrive
Dvd burn3r
kthxbye <3

[e] yesYESyes
nonono
could just go e6750 or something in that range
believe me.

So you can just use your old IDE devices. Performance wise if you have a good IDE harddisk it doesnt matter alot, and for DVD burner it doesnt matter either.
[e] Nvm getting an Asus P5Q-E so I can upgrade later, just gonna have to wait for christmas :P
What fsb are you running Meez?
I think I'll probably end up at 400x7/8, i've had 3.6 stable but I just don't need it at all and it's pointless shortening the life of my chip for it
got it saved in the bios though for if I ever have a long video encode or whatnot :)
And those chips wont die in your lifetime anyway.
I can still upgrade later, that's why I chose the Mobo. Just don't see why I should spend double the amount of money for a better cpu where I can OC and get almost the same performance.
[e] even the e2160 @ 3.2Ghz (Stock 1.8) Is up to par with the c2d 6850 and even out performs it in games and it only has 1mb L2 cache, so this is a good choice imho.
Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong, this is just what I've been coming across the most.
core 2 quad which I will then also OC. I never saw the need in buying expensive CPUs since there's always a way to get the same or even more performance in games with
half the money or even less.
What kinda fps do you get in ET with that CPU btw, like 5000 or sth? :D
