check my time line! its longer then the drive to complete the missions in fc2

AMD K6 266MHZ
AMD athlon 3000 1.8GHz
intel e8400 3GHz

im kinda new to the pc gaming thing i guess

eh, at least you could feel a huge difference between each upgrade. i feel sorry for the people who do tons of small upgrades... if you arent getting a 30% boost or more, you arent getting a real upgrade

 

[technicks]

Then it becomes an addiction.lol

 

[Jeno]

cheers! i wonder what my next upgrade will be lol

 

[Mussels]

cheers! i wonder what my next upgrade will be lol

buy a bigger screen!
and then faster video card to power it.
and then SLI/crossfire those to get more power. and then get a bigger PSU to power then. then a faster CPU because its holding you back...

 

[technicks]

 

[Jeno]

na... you really dont want to know what my next upgrade is gonna be

 

[Mussels]

There is a chance that I will upgrade to Nehalem this Christmas, 50%. Depend on how much I need to spend. If it's under 700, then I will probably upgrade.
But, from the current situation, I saw that mobo+cpu already reach $600, and Nehalem require tri-channel DDR3 which I don't have...

Zilog Z80A 4Mhz (64kb ram in an amsdrad pcp464, 128kb ram in a pcp6128 & 256kb ram in 2 seperate pcw8256's from the early days until 2002)

AMD K6-2/300 [can't remember the graphic cards but they still exist in my old parts so will have a look & edit here] 3gb hdd then fitted a 6gb as well (had 64mb ram originally but got that up to as far as a mindblowing 704mb. 2002 > 2004. the capacitors on mobo go & can't find good replacement. brilliant little processor though)

P4-2.8 s478 [nVidia GeForce FX5200XT-3D] 120gb + 40gb added (512Mb pc2-3200 ram 333mhz running at 200mhz in a HP t660a. new in 2004. part of home network. this Oxford mobo is actually an Asus P4SD-LA with different BIOS & CPU can be upgraded to p4-4.0 s478 if you can find one. a 3.8 maybe available & to 4X1gb ram)

AMD Turion TL-50 [nForce GeForce Go6150] 120gb hdd (1gb pc2-5300 ram 512mhz running at 333mhz, can be upgraded to 2gb & higher spec Turion. new in 2006. in HP laptop in home network)

P4-3.2 s775 40gb & 500gb added (2 x 1gb pc2-6400 ram 555mhz running at 400mhz, assembed from parts in 2008. in HP PC7600 SFF in home network. this 09F8H mobo can be upgraded to as far as a pentium-D 945 which will also allow 800mhz ram too)

AMD Phenom x4 9950 Black Edition 125w [790gx & sb750] 40gb from the t660a as a boot & file drive & new 500gb + the near new 500gb to be taken from the DC7600 set as a raid 0 array (2x2gb kit kingston hyperX pc-8500 ram 1066mhz. to be added to network. have 4 port ethernet hub & extra 600VA UPS, so why not. only waiting on asrock aod790gx/128m mofobo to arrive in next couple of days so i can assemble it. can be upgraded with twice the ram & then twice again with 64 bit o/s. mofobo is am3 ready. has 6 sata ports & 2 pci-e x16 ports so will take 2x ATI Radion HD4870x2 2gb in crossfire)

check out the mofobo's specs (tell them i should get commission for this)
http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=AOD790GX/128M

still have the old atx case from the k6 to put an asrock as above & am3-cpu in after they are released. it will look like a real dog. was going to use it for new phemon x4 build until i got a real good deal on the antec case with a 550w psu. also have a dell 6100-200 server case dual p2-200's that i could hollow out & set up a nice little array in.

did all the numbers for upgrading some or all of the HP's & the Phenom resulted and so far under budget i got a graphics tab to play around with as a present to myself for my cleverness.

from experience, for 3D Solid Modelling, i far prefer AMD to pentium. for less than the cost of new i7 basic stuff you could build a really wicked Phenom system that would flog it. have never bothered with overclocking because i know i'd stuff something expensive up so i will leave it alone until i know exactly what i'm doing. HP have everything wound right down for stability (ha, i reckon it causes it as the limits are reached too easily where if they allowed higher settings the limit might not be reached at all. my thinking anyway) & there is quite a lot of slack that can be taken up by winding settings up in the correct manner.

anyway, overclocking or upgrading the HP's is the least of my concerns as i now have a Phenom.

Hopefully my Future CPU is 45nm AMD, Black Edition or FX, perhaps Opteron.

*explodes brain when realises you're still on AXP*

gah! upgrade! upgrade! you can get yourself a 5000BE and 4GB of ram for like, two stamps and a roll of toilet paper these days. upgrade!
