seeing as your spending loads maybe Stripe 2 36 gig raptors and run OS off that,then run a sata II for storage ;)

Re: dave's computer
 

just to keep this up tp date, it now has two of these inside it:

:) next step is the hard drives... :erm:

Re: dave's computer
 

trying to resist the urge to say why ;) how much did the 2 of them cost??

Re: dave's computer
 

why? cos. ;)

i don't play much games and so forth, rollercoaster tycoon 3 is about as far as i will stretch this system gameswise...

£155 for the pair ;) in the reviews i read there don't seem to be much differences in performance between these and other equivalent cards... :erm:

there's a fine line between functionality and cost that i am hovering about... i don't see any functionality being sacrificed here, and i can always upgrade at a later date...

got your X2 yet? :p:

Re: dave's computer
 

nope im a tad mixed up about how im best gonna do it. Seen a budget board with pci e and proper agp not the fake slow bus in this weeks micromart for 45 quid so I could do it and wait for gfx upgrade.It also comes with a slot that will take a daughterboard that will fit a m2 cpu .Oh I just dont know ;)

Re: dave's computer
 

seems like quite a random way of doing it...

anyway, just bought these:

1 LN 580W HiperPower Type-R Modular Black PSU Quiet Dbl Fan aPFC ATX2.2 20/24 Pin £49.99 £49.99

1 LN Microsoft Wireless Desktop Comfort Curve Design Keyboard Mouse V3 £25.49 £25.49

1 LN Mitsumi FA404M 1.44 Black FDD+Int USB2 7 in 1 Card Reader (SM/MMC/SD/CF/MD/MS) Fits in 3.5" FDD Bay £10.49 £10.49

coming together slowly :)

Re: dave's computer
 

good choice on the psu :)

Random yes but I will sell it on latter. I currently have a x800 xt pe AGP so an upgrade to a pci board would be expensive,I also want crossfire which would mean a choice between Saphire or Saphire at the mo and no crossfire gfx cards yet (last looked last week so could be out of date info)

Re: dave's computer
 

crossfire still not out? that's a bit rubbish. hope it's worth the wait ;)

my loan came in today and i also got paid today, so thought i would splash out a bit :p: plus the psu was cheapness in one of those today-only offers, so is all good ;)

Re: dave's computer
 

sorted :)

Re: dave's computer
 

ramping up the pace of this now... aside from the stuff i just ordered above which i have to trek to the citylink depot to pick up tomorrow (lousy delivery company, claim 2 failed deliveries *grumbles*) i have just bought this:

1 x AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ S939 OEM

in your face zinglebarb :D

Re: dave's computer
 

Fight Fight Fight Fight dave against zing, buy your tickets :p:

Re: dave's computer

what the hell, i win anyway :D

Re: dave's computer
