nightsider Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 thanx fox its a 945i chipset Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Well it obviously supports 65nm, but I couldn't comment on 45nm. Just think: do I really need all that extra stuff? Not when you can use a lot of currently used stuff with it. Lots of people want 2x1TB drives, but do you actually have a NEED to fill that much space, rather than the desire? The same can be said for a lot of stuff. I don't game as much now I am too busy to, so I got a console (insert flaming here), so that I could always be happy a game would play properly. For my PC, I am more concerned with how well the processor and memory perform rather than graphics, which is where a massive chunk is spent! Consider that the graphics card alone I quoted above, could almost pay for a PS3 brand new. Crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammin Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Yeah, something like Silverfox suggested would be a noticeable improvement over what you have. If you wanted to push towards the top end of your budget then you could always go for something like this: Gigabyte X38-DS4 - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 yea thats a good point fox but how many consoles have crysis How many PCs have MGS4 and GT5? And for the record, I've got a Wii, not a PS3, so I'm hardly a fanboy in case you were wondering! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverfox Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 touche fox i walked right into that Lol, not to worry - I just think each platform presents its own relative merits Even the Wii with Smash Bros., Mario Galaxy and Zelda etc. Let us know what you decide to do.

Silverfox Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 i would do if i had the cash to blow on an entire new system You don't need to get a whole new system ... you have an E series C2D ... why not upgrade that rig? You are limiting yourself a lot by sticking with AMD in the current climate - the machine will not last very long (for gaming times anyway) and you'll need to do another upgrade next year ...
