How much was the price tag on the desktop Ghan?

 

[Ghan_04]

About $2200 USD.

 

[Infinitynexus]

Dang, Ghan, painfully obvious that you have too much disposable income

 

[Gilles]

What's disposable about computers? They're a necessity.

 

[BlargHonk]

920's are too common these days...

If Ghan managed to get an Asus Mars GTX 295 then I would be impressed...

[BlargHonk]

Dammit, i5's are too cheap ._.

Now every new comp has a better CPU than mine ._.

Video Card, now, thats something entirely else


That case is a bit overpriced though.

And, you bought the 7200.11... 7200.12's are faster, even with half the cache.

 

[leet.firefox]

This is still on the same page?
I updated a little.

CPU - AMD Phenom II X3 720 OCed @ 3.0ghz
GPU - EVGA 9800gt 1gb GDDR3 Oced
RAM - 3gb DDR2-800 Stock settings.
PSU - 500w

Monitor - Westinghouse 19" 1440x900
Speakers - Harmon Kardon 5.0
Connection - Medialink Wireless G USB Adapter 150kb/s
Monitor Cable - DVI-D

 

[BlargHonk]

You should go to 3.2, most 720's get there without volt increases

And a 9800 with that? Needs a 4870 or GT260 :/

Also try getting the ram to 4-4-4-12-21-2T timings, most 800 sticks can

Or 1066 5-5-5-15-24-2T

 

[syltman]

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU, 920 @ 2.67GHz 2.79 GHz
RAM: 6,00GB
Power supply: Dunno, about 600 watt
graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 2233
hard drive: 931 GB

 

[BlargHonk]

The HDD is 931gb because HDD manufactures calculate the GB differently than OS's

So it's a 1tb drive


I know, it sucks ._.

Oh yeah, I was wondering that becouse when I bought the computer it said that it would be a 1tb drive. I got quite confused but I didn't bother since I prolly wont use all that space anyway

 

[BlargHonk]

Idk, my 500gb is seeming less roomy every day

And I am a zealot for cleaning it out

Still on stock heatsick/fan. I don't want to push it when I don't need to.
9800 is fine too. Got it for $100 plus a $30 rebate. A 4870 or GT260 wouldn't see nearly enough improvement to justify another $200.
I'm getting 40-50fps at max settings in WiC, CoH, and DoW2.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

$300 FOR A 4870?!?!?!

You sir, have been ripped off.

[Reaper2008]

The 4870 may not be much better, but 4870 x2 venom is superb.

I am waiting on win7 to get a new rig:

CPU: i7 950
GPU: HD4870 x2
RAM: 6GB DDR3

No. To buy it would be another $200.
Where did you get $300 out of that?

That card is more expensive.
My card is similar, and better in some ways than that card, and that's at factory settings.
Plus free shipping. Plus I've always been a NVIDIA type of guy.
I hate the look of ATI cards. >.>

 

[Kercyn]

Why would anybody get more than 3GB RAM? 32bit OSes support up to 3.25GB (or something like that). I think that 64-bits support more, but there are issues that make them worse or something. Can somebody explain please?

64bit supports up to 12TB RAM, i think (not that i'll get so much ).

That thing about it being bad is wrong. It's just that programs made for 32 bit run slower, and 16bit don't even run. But nowadays ~90% programs have 64bit versions (all Open Source do), so 64bit = win.

Well, you said it was $100, and you said it was $200 more.

100+200=300


$40 more? And 9800GT better than a 4870?????

A single 4870 can beat a 9800GX2 sometimes (more often the 4890 beats that), not the same -.-


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150436

I spy with my little eye, FREE SHIPPIN!


And Nvidia type of guy? Eh, can't blame ya, Nvidia had a good run with the 8000's, but ATI is winning now, better price/performance.

Hell, you can get a 4850 for $100 (9800GT is equal to 4830)

Function over Form is what I say, would you buy a Card that was all shiny, but ran like crap, or one that looked like crap (Lord knows mine does) and beat the shit out of the crap?

Ouch, I feel sorry for you

 

[Deleted member 177737]

xP, its good enough to play all my games on high except sacred2.

 

[leet.firefox]

(9800GT is equal to 4830)

No they aren't. WiC is my most graphic-intensive game.
This is with the 4850:

100 - 30 rebate < 100
With slightly better performance.

The 4870 would cost even more money, something I don't have the luxury of having right now. I barely squeaked by with this one. But I had to get a card because my XFX died on me and this one seemed the most sensible at the time. I needed a quick, cheap card and this fit the bill nicely. It's really not that big of a deal.
Also, the card I got is now 140 and there is no rebate. lol...
If I waited things might have been different. But I'm not complaining.

 

[BlargHonk]

HD4850 is equal to a 9800GTX+/GTS250.

Have a look for yourself: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-geforce-price,2323-6.html

And google some reviews with the 9800GT vs the 4830

 

[leet.firefox]

Did the picture load for you?
It's not loading for me...
That's what I got when I googled for a comparison.

It's the 9800gt getting better FPS in WiC than the 4850. Which is not a 4830.

Must not have a very big cooler, I have a the UD3P version of that board, and 2 Ram slots are blocked with a large hunk of metal protuding off my CPU

At least it idles at 23C now
