Budget Crysis

[DarkEgo]

lol yeah i like the Intel but with lga 775 at the end of its life time and the whole build costing so much more i just don't think its worth it

On 2nd thought i will go with the 5000+ and upgrade to a 45 nm AMD quad if thy get good reviews.

and a MSI K9A2 platinum or CF-F they are amazing together

I have to agree but that 5000BE wont do anywhere near the reported 4.0GHz the E7200 has potential for either...lol(on air).

k9a2 platinum, in the future I will tri-fire, but i am going to hold off on quad-fire because it does not scale that much better then tri-fire. I am going to order the whole thing as soon as ATI's new gpu's come out because I am hoping for 3870 prices to drop.

 

[DarkEgo]

I know and the cache is smaller but at $50 cheaper i can take the performance hit. Also the mother board is $40 cheaper so yeah $90 for 2mb of cache and .6 GHz maybe.

Would Cruical Ballistix be better ram then the mushkin i mentioned?

every set of ballistix Ive owned has done me very well...Thats DDR and 3 sets of DDR2

 

[DarkEgo]

So you think ballistix would do better then mushkin? the balistix are 2.2 volts for 4-4-4-12 the mushkin is 1.9 volts for the same so i'm thinking the mushkin will have some nice OCing

As cdawall will attest to...its the IC's on the sticks that matter, not the rated voltage!

 

[DarkEgo]

so which one has better IC's

proof ratings have no bearing my ram is "rated" @ 5-5-5-15-24 2v i run 4-4-4-12-11 2.05v this is not hte ram in my specs i haven't gotten that shipped to me yet

 

[sneekypeet]

did find this googling a bit...http://forums.mushkin.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11675

seems to do `900MHz@ 4-4-412. I cant find anything on reviews or max oc speeds!

 

[DarkEgo]

so the mushkin... the mushkin and ballistix are about the same price

 

[sneekypeet]

[DarkEgo]

do u think it would be a good idea to buy that processor?

 

[sneekypeet]

Its up to you...no real price difference from the egg

Lapping does eliminate warranty , but helps greatly with temps.

 

[DarkEgo]

the price drop is only $2

 

[sneekypeet]

Edited. sorry was just showing ya what was new here...maybe PM him and work a deal for the CPU and mobo combo?...IDK if you are really interested in it!
