Well bush on another note, he coulda wait and go Opteron 185 which is dual core 2.6GHz default and should be less than the FX60.... but the price and availablilty of that won't be out till later this month. I agree with the X1900XTX, for less you would have gotten more. Basically to be honest, ur rig is good, but in about 2 weeks you could have built 1 to DESTROY it. You see ATI is bringing out its RD580 chipset which has better OCing than the nforce 4 by a significant margin apparently (hitting 300MHZ HT easy without changing the multiplier, YEAH 1500MHz HT) and it features 16x2 PCIe slots. Also ATIs implementation of Crossfire is better than Nvidia's nforce4 32lane. Something to do with less hops... anyways point is, in say 2 weeks yuh coulda go Opteron 185, Asus Crossfire deluxe AND X1900XT Crossfire or single X1900XTX for the same price or less. But hey thats teh way the PC world goes. At the end of the day, yuh have a rig that is currently unchallenged in all of GATTdom.

i must admit i'm didn't do the research that i should of apparently, however comparing the price to different rigs online, not considering the 'u shoulda waited' stuff i got a damn good deal

however i'm now faced with a new dilemma, how to transport it, ah mean i have to show this thing off at least once, go down to techsource and let everyone know she's comin, but this isn't meh previous $5,500 machine, sweat does pour from meh pours jus to touch the power button or the dvdrw drive button....sigh

new system new problems i guess

bushman i conceed that i shoulda waited a lil longer, but the point is i have my system here and now and i'm lovin it

Boy what a crackhead

Man say sli is pointless and 1xx1900xt woulda be better yes

Steups.

Bushman, it have a flikkin reason why sli runnin tings red yuh know, cause it does MC WORK!!

On most games now, that demand great power, sli does wonders, thanks in large part to nvidias awesome driver support, WHICH AMD WILL ALWAYSSSS LACK!!!!.

The opteron v fx60 fight. well alyuh amdites fight over it.
I admit that the fx 60 is expensive no ass, but it doessssssssss "out perform" every other chip out there now doesnt it.

yup , 1 x1900xt woulda be better by far, my bro bfg 7800GTX's in sli hitting 11876 with 3dmark2k5 and 1 x1900xt hittin 11xxx, so you do the math, i am gonna get my hands on one of these cards for sure

OMGWTFDOUBLEKILLPWNED!!!!!!!!!!

WOW

all I can say is WOW

That is a MONSTER RIG queso.

Shaniki FTW.

You benchmarked the beast as yet?

Surely the #1 machine in all of GATTDOM. When are we gonna see it in the flesh? or should that be silicon?

Wha? Didn't nvidia bring out the nforce 4 and SLI to AMD first? crixx makes no sense

Price for performance , the best buy would have been an opteron 165 , and some low latency DDR500 , and a single or dual 7900 GT ( now available, he coulda wait a little longer if he knew it was coming) which at default clock is slightly faster than a 7800 GTX , and due to its 90nm process i'm sure it will overclock much higher .
I don't like the idea of spending money on high end rigs, I prefer to buy mid range parts every two years... look how long it took the 6600gt to become obselete vs the 6800 ultra , even the X1600XT when it released last year got beaten by a 6600 in tests like Doom III and Quake IV .

i meant lack of driver support on ati not amd

sorry, they both so crappy i use dem interchangeably.

so i suppose is only me that want to kidnap queso an take way de machine....even tho he's like twice my size eh

bushman100 · « **Reply #29 on:** March 12, 2006, 09:46:42 PM »

*****. atleast i deal with facts. ATI once upon a time used to have driver problems. thats is nilonger the case.a nd if u wanna talk abotu **** ups wat about the fx series from nvidia? i could go on and on about problems nvidia has as well as ATI. or i should say problems they had. both companies have come a long way that those little things are not determining factors any longer. wat is however the determining factor is bang for your buck. and since the 9800 ATI has held the crown. they slipped alittle with the x1800xt series a bit but where still competitive.

o btw only 239 more hotmails to go crixx

baego u'll see her as soon as i get some transport
wen u pickin me up?

and mods hear nah, close me blasted thread or get the freakin techies outta here nah
steups

u gave me your opinion, end the ish there, no flickin need or expansion go find another thread to theorise and argue
asn someone get bushman and crixx on the weakest link or somtin nah

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #31 on:** March 13, 2006, 10:20:04 PM »

lol

well such drool worthy specs are sure to attract the attention of techies.

You should expect that!

Where you livin?

If it's not too far nor in some "high crime" area, I won't mind makin a run to see that beast in action and do some benchmarks, etc....

ok wait i prob de biggest tech n00b here but....
the AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 San Diego runs @ 2.8GHz thas faster an cheaper than the FX 60 so why allyuh talkin bout Opterons anyway?
oh well back to under my rock

Czar · « **Reply #37 on:** March 18, 2006, 12:25:55 PM »

The FX-57 does have a higher core clock, but the FX-60 is dual core and has more cache, if I remember correctly, thus it is faster than the FX-57 overall. Something to keep in mind nowadays is that you can no longer directly compare processors by simply looking at their core frequency...i.e. 2.6GHz vs. 2.8GHz etc...you also need to take into consideration how much cache they have and whether they are dual core etc.

As for the talk of Opterons, the Opteron 165 in particular is a great price/performance processor that can be overclocked handsomely. It's only a 1.8GHz processor, but can be easily overclocked to 2.6GHz on just air cooling...with the stock HSF I might add. It's also dual core and available for around the US$325 price point.
