Flit · « **Reply #46 on:** June 18, 2004, 11:47:59 PM »

do some research on the 9600xt 256
I think * that the 128mb memory is faster then the 256 version

and whats wrong with the cases we have i really am not up for spending to much more money. But i would like to get a AMd procssor and mobo for atleast 250 altogether.

I think the case can get up to 3 fans in it so that my mobo does not fry. I also read the reviews of the products to see what problems things have. They said the case was pretty good for the money.

1st of all there is no need to spend twice the amount of money on a Barton 3200, a simple tweak of the motherboard will allow it to run at or above 2ghz.

2nd Stay way away from VIA chipset motherboards, Nforce2 is the only way to go...TRUST ME!!!!!! (major compatibilty issues with the KT chipsets)

3rd Celestica video card...lol....wtf save your $$$$ get the sapphire 128MB 9600XT for cheaper 256MB is pointless

4th if you dont plan on overclocking the stock Heatsink and Fan are fine no need to drop $30, the case I linked earlier has plenty of airflow.

How good is the processor I got?
I DONT overclock will to spend the money.

The 350W one that is in that case is actually a very good power supply.......You dont need a better one, the 9600 line of cards dont need to be directly plugged into the PS.

Take the $80 difference b/t the XP3200 and 2500 buy some a tad bit better memory or more memory

jay1988 · « **Reply #57 on:** June 19, 2004, 01:00:56 AM »

Is the 3200 better than the p4 2.8e? What about the 2500??

snapperhead · « **Reply #58 on:** June 19, 2004, 01:03:13 AM »

For gaming............yes both AMD processors are

My brother just bought the AMD 2500+. Thats a good one to. It very overclockable since the cpu isn't locked. I totally disagree with the VIA chipset and the Nforce. VIA's make good chipsets. So does Nforce. But VIA is proven to be more stable while over clocking. But the Nforce mootherboards can overclock higher. And exactly what compatability problems do they have? I would like to know so if its real bad I can stay away from them myself.
