K, my dad bought a computer recently, with a GeForce 6200SE. The guy at Futureshop said it was 'decent'. Is it a piece of shit or no?

Damn......only got 1G of RAM. Things seems smooth so far so i'm not gonna sweat it.

I dont trust myself building a computer on my own (heavy handed). My dad said he would pay for it, and write it off as a company expense, as long as I work for 6 months for him.
I will be mapping, and gaming (ofcourse) with the computer. Mapping takes a hell of a lot of processing power, and a lot of memory. my choices for processors is between the AMD 3800, and 4200. Would going up to the 4200 be that much of a performance boost? Or would I be better off sticking with the 3800? When it comes to graphics cards, 7800GTX or X1900? I have basically everything else covered. just need to know about the processor, and graphics card. _________________ |

As for the cpu, not a ton of difference between the 3800 and the 4200 (200 mhz per core). The 3800 is regarded by most as the "budget" dual core of the amd line since its the cheapest. Personally id go for the 4400+ for the extra cache on it. |
Un-FUCKING-beleivable, i sent that pos asrock mobo back over a month ago to get a refund, look what i get in my inbox tonight.

Must have a few faulty components in a batch of them or somehing, made up my mind to go the shuttle pc route a while ago, can't be bothered building another full size tower up again. |
damn that sucks. i've had a stick of ram fry on my once for no apparent reason
|
basically i am finally getting away from my laptop after a 4 year gap away from my ancient built P3 voodoo3 and want to build a new rig. Totally lost for what specific gpu/motherboard/cpu versions etc too look at, no problems with putting it together just need pointing to which are best too get.
looking at getting a x850xt 256mb, 1 gig of ram and a athlon 64 3200+ then whatever else and a decent motherboard if anyone could give any suggestions. |
Mobo ; DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra
Gfx ; PowerColor ATI Radeon X850 XT 256MB ram; G.Skill 2GB DDR ZX PC3200 (2x1GB) CAS2 Dual Channel Kit (better with 2 gigs) cpu; AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 90nm (2.2 ghz) All from http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ Not that much difference in price betwen a 3200 and a 3700, graphics wise you can grab the x850 for like £160 or so from there, though you can get an x1800xl for like £50 more and its a much better card. http://www.techspot.com/reviews/hardwar ... xl-3.shtml |

cry: I am trying to get this system down to at least 2,200 bucks. I think I may have to actually build it myself if I want to do get it that low.

okay, I think I understand what is going on here.
This motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813131540 would work with this processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6819103546 and this graphics card? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814195002 |
