Krondo Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Ok, lets say money wasn't an issue... I'm not up to date on the best of the best, but I need to get a new computer. I will be building it myself, and I need some input. The only thing I need to you keep in mind is I want agp. K.. Remember this computer will be used ONLY for gaming. Use your knowledge, and anything you might have read to answer these questions. 1.) What's the Best motherboard out there... how much? What processor will fit on it? 2.) Pent4 or 64bit amd? 3.) ATI or Nvidia.... x800 or 6800 4.) Agp or Pci Express? I say agp all the way. 5.) That's it man, I have everything else.... 1tb h.d., and 2 gigs ddr pc4300 hyperx and..... liquid cooling, or are there some bad . fans and cases out there? I'm sorry for the stupid questions, but all I do is game... that's it. I just want this new computer to be kick . for years to come, and to rip through Hl2, Doom3, Quake4, Farcry, Farcry2, Unreal3, and CS:S.

kurosen Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Oh don't get me started GIGABYTE "GA-K8NSNXP-939" nForce3 Ultra Athlon 64 FX-53, 1MB L2 Cache 6800 GT PCI-E PCI Express is faster than AGP... Though they do make the x800 for AGP if I'm not mistaken EDIT: My mistake 6800 Ultra... forgot about that one.... whoops Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodySunday Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 You could get anything and you would still go GT. I would be pretty much the same but with a 6800 Ultra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
asus Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 I would have the virginia tech supercomputer made of all g5's ... the cream of the crop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 "lets say money wasn't an issue" you'd have dual 6800 ultras hooked up in SLI config with a Mach II each... if all you do is game, maybe you should actually set a realistic budget... because you could just go crazy putting together a system that cost $100,000 or more if you wanted... edit: even if i had all the money in the world, i still wouldn't dirty myself on Macs... G5 or otherwise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newport Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 I would have the virginia tech supercomputer made of all g5's ... the cream of the crop How bout we have Team OCC shove the "cream of the crop" up where the sun dont shine..... lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
asus Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 well.. you cant connect pc's together in clusters to make a supercomputer.. apples are so easy when it comes to this.. we have 50 g5's in our school all connected using infinity band like virgina tech and its 100 x faster then any pc.. i would just like that system because it is so fast and amazing.. 10.3 tf of proformance.. but if i had all the money in the world.. i would not only have that.. i would have the TOP pc. .whatever that is..

Nerm Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 if I had the money. I would bother with building the most super computer possible. I would just simply build the most computerized house ever filled with lots and lots of the best gaming rigs neatly installed and set up in places like the hot tub haha. and oh yes I have a big imagination. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
