just thought u know mac is using intel chip in the future

 

dude.. you're so behind. they're using it already. What she's refering to is the operating system. MEANING: LINUX > WINDOWS

LINUX is indeed more stable than windows.

 

yeah.. but MS has more money and power in the industry.. unfortunately.

 

what do you guys rate this video card?
ATI sapphire
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102635
X800 256MB 8 pipeline.
$133

 

Will where are you? i need suggestion on video card.

 

Since ATi boards can differ greatly between makers, I've always used very highly rated. While NVidia basically makes every chipset and board there is almost no difference on which company you buy for those. IMHO, Sapphires are very mixed on how good they are.

As many of the reviews on newegg say, the sapphire card isn't great for high performance as many of them are saying it's glitching and freezing. I would much rather get a Abit or Gigabyte X800 XL (what I'm running right now) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814123157 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125174

there u go dude. very easy to overclock and perform like a $300 video card. some people claim it is already comes unlocked at 16pipes.

it is also highly rated by other newegg buyers.

 

+1 to will... thanks bro.

 

oh man, u respond pretty fast, do u have this thread on auto refresh every 5 seconds ?

 

haha.. yup..

 

hence the term post *****

 

ok.. so this is actually a subject i can be of help on..

motherboards : abit northbridge fans will break down very quickly.. a few months... chance of overheating but shouldnt be a big deal...
asus : no known problems... tdm...
gigabyte : flashy but not as reliable.. good boards tho
intel : does not allow overclocking of any sort

processors: intel p4 HIGH CLOCK SPEEDS like 3.2+ : high speed... longer pipelines... more stuff can be sent thru at the same time.. but very expensive and high heat
amd athlon 64 : lower clock speeds but shorter pipelines.. just as fast for regular computing but u cannot run many programs at once... short pipelines compensate for low clock speeds... result is cheaper and less heat production

do not get onboard sound or video.. that just clogs your northbridge chip that normally works with your processor cache and memory to speed up your computer... and it will clog that with work with the sound.. its much more efficient to get a sound card.. which has its own processor... with all that setup make sure u have enough power or your graphics and sound will not be up to par... possibly even processor failure... best bet 500 watts...

hope im some help... not so good at cars but computers i can help

 

idiot.. all the motherboard listed are TDM..

 

Dell is for Porno!

 

I've use abit, and gigabyte for the pass 7 years..
abit is still my favorite... Asus might be #2.. but i did have a friend who burned out 3 asus board.
gigabyte is #3... i burned out 1 gigabyte mobo before.

out of the 3.. i'd still get abit or asus..
who cares if fans brake down.. u can always get aftermarket fans.
