hmmm very sicko indeeeeddd except for de amd choice of course.

I like xfx myself, buh can you tell us what exactly inspired your xfx buy over asus or bfg or chaintech?

Shiv yuh bastard (j/k) I know u does get defensive. Dat is a real nice machine man, how come you didn't opt for X2 instead? I mean it woulda cost yuh an additional 200USD prolly for the 4400+ but it mighta been worth it. Unless yuh plan to sell it off and get a X2 in the near future....

Kaizen · « **Reply #4 on:** January 18, 2006, 04:35:20 PM »

well i dont see why he needs to get a x 2 as yet . a single core 3700 san diego will do fine with them rapist specs .
in a later upgrade when the x2 get cheaper he could posibly go for it.

I was already overbudget. To be honest i wanted a nice monitor. The Samsung run me about 330+ US for it. Very nice resolution an ting. Its an LCD so you want to get a nice one, 170 degree viewing too

i WAS going for the BFG in truth. Dunno bout Chaintech and didnt really cater for ASUS. The BFG was actually the highest overclocked 100hz more than the XFX but it was an extra 50 US and i wouldnt have been able to afford the 1 year waranty like i did for the XFX. Also i heard a few people had some problems with the BFG getting hot compared to the XFX. the BFG was o'c to the point where it was on the redline (this is what i heard). the XFX was just under. I know both reliable, and i couldnt buy any fancy as hell case. I got a decent cooler master with a clear side panel. Pleny space, plenty air.

the 500W power supply i got have a nice lil blue neon, didnt even notice it came with a light. Make the case look pretty at night thru the clear pannel. One big@ss 120 MM fan in the side too. I have nice cooling, plus you can manually turn the fans up when you want.

I getting another 7800GTX at the end of the year. Drop that in the SLi and i should be cool.

I havent really tested it out on the power hungry BF2. It runs HL2 and FEAR without breaking a sweat though.

I know it have much better. I learn TODAY in OS class for building gaming systems the REAL Ram is RDRAM...but it expensive and mobo's not really diverse in price to find. DDR2 out i know, but of course i didnt have the paper. the OCZ Titanium i have very nice though.

I know everyone have their opinions but I good happy with mih purchase

Bigups to Kaizen, Redlum, W1ntry, Rampage and Beogami for helping me out....and anyone else i forget and those i cant mention LOL

Narcissus · « **Reply #7 on:** January 18, 2006, 10:04:34 PM »

so that means i can use gfx cards not specified by asus and it'll work just fine...good to kno...one thing tho i was plannin to use kingston RAM modules is the OCZ faster or more reliable?

Beomagi · « **Reply #8 on:** January 18, 2006, 11:51:33 PM »

Narcissus - both kingston and OCZ are reliable - and if you're running them at the same speed they'd be as fast. Both also have low latency versions. If you're going to value ram on a strict budget, snag ddr400 value ram, from a decent source (ocz, corsair, crucial, kingston, gskill, mushkin etc). If you have say a little more to spend, my pick would be ddr500. At 400MHz speeds, it would pull better latencies, and of course, it's guaranteed to hit 500.
As far as overclocking, that's where REALLY indepth checking would need to be done - and by overclocking i mean above the rams rated speed - so 501+MHz on ddr500... the kind of modules on the ram, whether or not you're dimm has winbond or samsung tccd's etc.

to Shivadee: AWESOME SYSTEM!
the xfx is a great card, and those slight overclocks you dont have to worry about. You would not have noticed any difference.

RDRAM was great - but it's as far as personal computers go, it stagnated and died. At it's peak, dual channel pc800 was pushing the same bandwidth of ddr400 today - in single channel. It didn't get the chance to improve on the PC platform, so when dual channel ddr came out offering more bandwidth, and companies conspired a drop in ram pricing to kill rambus (this hit the news when samsung admitted it first) the market voted with the wallet. Today, especially with ddr2 around, it's going to be tough to come back.

It's interesting that Shiv pointed out that RD RAM is the best... cause all video cards run on GDDR/2/3. I guess its a price thing. Also I know in the earlys, Rambus has latency issues... which I would think would be crippling for graphics... either way Rambus (makers of RD-RAM) have XDR now. That is supposed to be GOSU run at up in the 3+GHz range and the next thing after GDDR3 even though there is GDDR4.I wish XDR would come the the Desktop.. but yuh never know, when AMD has HyperTransport 3 with coherent Hypertransport and we have RIDICULOUS CPU memry bandwidth, yuh just might see it.

Kaizen · « **Reply #11 on:** January 19, 2006, 11:51:21 AM »

hmm if its value narc. then both are the same favor more on the kingston but according to the specific type of ram .

go for the OCZ

RustyPlumber · « **Reply #12 on:** January 19, 2006, 04:49:31 PM »

nice specs. have almost the same except for the processor (which i gettin in few weeks) and well the vid card, got a 6800GS XFX, hadda get my gyul to sponser me one ah those 7800GTX's although she might fuss cause she sponsered my whole pc

Awesome system Shiv.

You won't kidding about getting into the PC side of things hard core.

That has to be in the top 10 fastest machines in GATT. Easily.

Sorry I didn't get to this post first. Been busy with new baby and having to handle Trinity's work load at the office. Doing two jobs = no time immc.

by the by the GFX card is PCI 16

i think they learned their lesson from the last fiasco.. from what i understand ( i could be wrong) they made an agreement with intel to utilise RDRAM for , like x amount of years with their chipsets.. while overcharging intel, in the interim chipsets that used cheaper DDR came out, matched and eventually eclipsed RDRAM's performance advantage, which had hit a stop ( temporary?) at that point..

whatever the case, they back.. i hope they doh play too greedy , and can deliver..

ok well i maxout mih gfx card. I put in Quake 4 and run everything to the max. I even put in 16X anti aliasing. The game run SWEEEEEET but had hiccups here and there for autosaves and such. Otherwise....it nice like lentil peas and rice.
