1024MB Corsair TwinX 184-pin DDR SDRAM 2x512MB sticks - $363
Seagate SATA 160G - $186
128M ASUS ATI 9600XT VIVO DVI W/TV Video Card - $295

If you pay $500 for an M-Audio Audophile you are officially a tit
www.doctoraudio.com
You can get the Audiophile 2496 for US$139
I know many people who have ordered from them and received it in less that 2 weeks for around AUD$200 |

So ASUS really create the best motherboards? My previous motherboard was a ASUS but the power supply on my comp blew up taking the motherboard out so i couldn't actually see how well it was doing, but it did last me ALONGGGG time.
Yeh to be honest i was thinking of Pentium in the first place, didn't actually hear much about the processors so wasn't literelly going to take a risk.
Stu, whats wrong with Sound Blasters? i'll go in now to check the Audiophile but what makes the Sound Blaster bad?
Cheers Cam and Stu for the list, gotta look into those... some of those were already on my suggestions from before so will consider them :toothless
The past few days my comp is starting to really give, wouldn't load windows and so on... so i think i gotta pick fast. |
