as of now, i've decided on AMD 64 3000+ with a socket 939 mobo... dunno which one yet... leaning towards the abit AV8 because of the price...
also going for 1gig of RAM.. dunno what kind yet...
but yeah.. thanks for the replies, all... keep them coming... |
Heh. Yeah, I felt the need to at least begin to substantiate my seemingly supercilious proclamation... |

I would stick with the intel. I know there is a lot of competition between AMD and Intel but Intel seems to always win the performance tests.
I bought the Asus board to match my CPU and I haven't been happier with my purchase (except those great shoes I got for a 1/4 of their price today).
And good choice on getting the most RAM possible. That is what will really make a difference in the end. |

one word.... PRICE, =P
i'm definitely going with a socket 939 board since it seems to be here to stay for at least another year... maybe i'll have money to upgrade sometime in the future...
can anyone suggest some good RAM for AMD processors? I've read a bad review on Samsung RAM with AMD chips.... I'm looking at buying 1 GB kingston PC3200 ram... |

The system originally went online on August 4th 1997. Human decisions were removed from strategic defence. Skynet began to learn at a geometric rate. It originally became self aware on August 29th 1997 2:14 am Eastern Time. In the ensuing panic and attempts to shut Skynet down, Skynet retaliated by firing American nuclear missiles at their target sites in Russia. Russia returned fire and three billion human lives ended in the nuclear holocaust. This was what has come to be known as "Judgment Day". |

ASUS generally makes good motherboards |
I got an ASUS P4C800E-DLX for my computer, and ever since I used standby in windows, the computer would randomly not turn on. Sometimes I would wake up, turn on my computer, and find nothing happen, wouldn't even go to POST. The only way to boot it up was to unplug it from the wall and wait atleast 1 hour.. ahah. Anyways one day it just refused to turn on forever, so I tried new ram, new psu, and eventually a new mobo. I replaced it with the cheaper ASUS P4P800E-DLX (which I can't even tell any difference between).
So, I don't know if these problems are common in ASUS boards, but I guess the P4P is working out fine. I would probably recommend it if you're going with a P4. |
