We were hacked. Several times over the past two weeks, in fact.
While all passwords are encrypted and salted, it's recommended that you change your password here when you can.
Only the default (TGN Light) theme for now. Dark them is also coming back soon. Then CSN. Then Wrestlin' Nation. A lot of WIP stuff right now. There are a couple of things still not working either. Sorry.
well, the 3500+ perfectly fit my budget, along with my other parts, so i guess conroe is out of the question for me, and I still don't believe they will be ready all that soon, i kinda want a comp to play on within the next week haha.
Understandable. There are people that are waiting for Conroe (I know a guy on a legacy system, waiting for it to come out) but if its out of your budget, thats fine.
pretty much $1300 including tax and shipping. And I don't doubt that conroe will be available when intel says it will, it's just that my previous computer died and I need a new one fast. So far for $1300 ive got this
Rosewill Case - $55
ASUS A8N-E Mobo - $90
eVGA 7900gt KO - $269
Athlon 64 3500+ venice (you were right) - $109
2gb Corsair XMS DDR 400 - $200
Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic - $121
Antec SmartPower 2.0 500w PSU - $64
Western Digital 80gb 7,200rpm sata 3.0gb/s - $44
Sony DVD Burner- $35
Windows XP Home- $88
2 vantec stealth fans - $14
@ The OP the system you got is fine, and will be very nice for many more years... however you did limit your upgrade options down the line, and screwed yourself out of some extra performance if you had waited 1 more month for Conroe/Am2 systems.
The worst Conroe there is will probably annihilate a 4200, but thats not the point. The most important factor is that Conroe will likely offer superior value for money as likely AMD cant drop prices enough to compete. Having said that if you want something cheaper than the cheapest Conroe, AMD is still a better choice than a P4/Celeron.
IMO
is the conroe really that good. w/ out any overclocking, is it more powerfull than a amd x2 4200
Depends on which model, the 4200+ is 2.2ghz, the conroe E6300 (worst of all conroes) should still beat it, it's dual core, and it's 1.83 ghz, but add 20% to the ghz for all conroes, in this case, the 20% adds to about 2.23ghz total, and it has a larger L2 cache.
