martymcfly Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 I just decided to stop by again. I have been out of the computer enthusiast scene for about a year now. What's new on OCC? What's new in the computer world? What is the best system you can get for $1000 now? I was starting to miss this place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivingGhost Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 Welcome back. Whats new, well the Intel Core 2 Duo cpu is the only way to go as of now. AMD is still better for cheap/non-overclocking builds...Because they're so cheap... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verran Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 Hey Marty! Long time no see! As for what's new, you've seen a lot of it here so far. Intel's new Core2Duo architecture has really got AMD pinned at the moment. AMD still holds the cheapo PC crown, and they supposedly have a fancy new chip coming, but it keeps getting delayed. ATi has a new card series coming to finally compete with the 8800's from nVidia, but those have gotten delayed too. They should be coming soon though, within a month or so it seems. Around here? The site's been pretty active. New members, new staff, LOTS more reviews and news posted. Also, there's a new front page and forum skin, if you didn't notice Things are looking good for OCC.

Kash Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 Hmm, this is odd. I was just thinking about how I haven't seen you around lately. Get out of my head!!! Welcome back buddy. You'll find OCC to be a bit livelier than when you last saw it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 Welcome back man! OCC has definetly picked up the speed! The reviews come weekly, if not daily sometimes, there is a lot more news, more new active members, old ones dropping by again! For 1000$, a Core2Duo E6600, Gigabyte DS3 and a 8800GTS 320MB/640MB should be more than good Add 2GB of RAM, and you're set! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
