Giving Bazooka Joe $1100 and making him happy - Priceless. biggrin:

That's how much my next upgrade will cost. hake:

What about case? My upgrade will probably cost that much too so anyone can donate to me

GHrz? last i checked the correct abbrev was GHZ biggrin:

Why do you need an upgrade anyway? Pentium 4 2ghz not fast enough?

Well, I have the Antec case that Alienware uses, so I figure I really don't need a new one, but if I had to choose, there's one I saw in Maximum PC that is about $160. It's all aluminum, has an angled front van, so it makes less noise, plus all the other goodies; 5 fan slots, slide racks, wire trenches, etc.

It seems to me u americans get fucking raped up the ass on prices too, $200+ for a motherboard? oOo:


Does it give head as an extra?


eek:

My bad, Ghz, heh

Nope, I upgrade my processor usually about every 700mhz. I decided to wait, but it costs too much. I would get the 2.8, but for an extra 150, I can get another 200mhz.

It's a brand-spankin new mobo, releases Jan 8th I think. P4 board, Intel i850 chipset, 4X PC-1066 RAM, 5 PCI, 4 USB2.0, AGP 8X slot. Good stuff.

Right, THE game. It runs MOH fine, but what happens when Star Wars Galaxies and Planetside release? You're gonna need all the power you can get baby! I'm going for broke to run these badboys!

i'm looking for a bargain MOBO, joe is goin overboard

Doom 3 is another contender for biggest system ass screwer as wel. On max detail its gonna take some pc to run it properly ed:

Well, like ID said, they are designing the game to max out at 69 FPS, since the human eye can't see any differences over 57FPS.

While you generous, lovable and extraordinarily sweet gentlemen help out
Bazooka, can you slip 500$ my way for a Geforce FX ? Thank you very much!

biggrin:

See, I got the GF4 Ti 4600, so I really don't need the FX right away.

I would donate, but ya see my army friend, i need money to, otehrwise i'd help out a fellow new yorker biggrin:

I need the upgrade more n' Joe...give it to MEEEE!!!! biggrin:


Zone

Wow, if only i had that kinda money biggrin:

Dunno if that was a typo or not but carmack is locking down the game code to max out at 60fps.

Damn no edit button cry:

$31 for a 500w power supply?? where the hell are you buying this... the black market!?

Unless it's a piece of trash PS. I'd go with Ennermaxx or Antec only.

i'm behind. i'm upgrading to a 1.4 ghz in summer biggrin:
oh yeah, i'm keeping this poopy geforce 4 mx 420...

do I want to donate?

NO

Does Doom 3 use dx9?

[quote="Old Reliable":225ff]i'm looking for a bargain MOBO, joe is goin overboard[/quote:225ff]

Abit KD7 (AMD) or BD7 (Intel), good features, excellent performance, $99. Joe, you should get the IT7-MAX if you must go Intel.
-Red
(AMD/Abit ho)

why not just spend an extra $500 for a whole new one. Wait you dont have what you need now eek:

Hmmm biggrin:

It IS Antec. biggrin: And the RAM is Samsung, and it's ECC. I got good deals on both.

Sopposevly, it's sopposed to be the first game to incoporate DX9 and AGP 8X.

i don't even think that system could make doom 3 run well, at least the e3 version oOo:

You sir got an excellent deal.

What's your opinion on the best RD RAM? It's a pain in the ass trying to find a good producer that makes it.

Samsung.

!@##&(!&^*)

I've been researching that mobo and several others for about a month. The p4G8x rox. However its a DDR400 platform, not RDRam. Its dual channel DDR, and according to tomshardware, that outperforms RD1066. Its also not the i850. Rather its Intels "Granite Bay" chipset the E7205 which is completely kickass.

lol evil:
nobody is going to donate money mwah:
but if somebody thinking about it gimme some to i wana upgrade my p4 2.2 biggrin:

mwah:
