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
 
Then it becomes an addiction.lol :laugh:
 
Jeno said:
cheers! i wonder what my next upgrade will be lol :)

buy a bigger screen! :D
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...
 
:roll:

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!
