Anyone got a few suggestions please throw them my way. Gonna wait another month then order up this behemoth (or whatever comes out of the suggestion box) and have it waiting for me when I get home. Thanks for reveiwing!! Title: Re: Technical knowledge (I.E. Computer Literacy) Needed!

I.E. the same drives of WesternDigital and Samsung can differ in reliablity and write/read speeds and stuff. Title: Re: Technical knowledge (I.E. Computer Literacy) Needed! Post by: Marcus Kobra on May 24, 2007, 03:47:13 pm A good point, though you may not have noticed (I mean this with no disrespect or ill tone but) many parts say "Major Brand Powered by NVIDIA" So sadly the place i am going through will assemble the system from the "best" available parts on hand. For reference: www.cyberpower.com (http://www.cyberpower.com)
Is where I went It all sound rather good.... though I lost the build I made becaue it didnt save to the "shopping cart" grrr! Title: Re: Technical knowledge (I.E. Computer Literacy) Needed! Post by: qom_riyadh on May 24, 2007, 03:51:22 pm The remark about major brand blah blah by nvidia blah blah is only stated in context of GPU. General specs are not enough to say if it's okay. ;)

Title: Re: Technical knowledge (I.E. Computer Literacy) Needed! Post by: Moraine DiGoraz on May 24, 2007, 08:05:23 pm Get a voice recognition module as well!
Title: Re: Technical knowledge (I.E. Computer Literacy) Needed! Post by: Mercy on May 24, 2007, 08:56:57 pm All looks really good. I've had problems with my SLI but thats with GeForce 6600GT series so hopefully the ones you have will be better. Basically the fan burnt out on one of them. I'm still yet to replace it.
Title: Re: Technical knowledge (I.E. Computer Literacy) Needed! Post by: Delcarakdur on May 26, 2007, 10:42:36 pm I piss on SLI...Get a single powerhouse card rather than two middle-powered ones. SLI haexperienced a lot of problems and the concept is basically flawed in my opinion.s
Go for the XFX Geforce 8800Ultra (768MB Memory, very well clocked etc...) The best card there is. It's also easily the most expensive. If not...Then the ATI 2900 Card is also a good buy, with DirectX 10 support and all. Apart from that...It looks good! |
