where did you order from and how much did it cost?

also, i'm in australia so shipping costs might be quite high for me.

and all electronic equipment here is overpriced some by a lot some by a little, so i don't really want to purchase any PC parts here, Happydudette is buying it all in malaysia/singapore.

Pc parts are expensive here. Very true this is.

So are a lot of other things

Meh, we'll see what difference it makes in their sales now that they've lost one of their biggest chip contracts (Apple).

i got it from newegg for $230

i upgraded from my p4 2.66, my real reason for upgrading tho was my ram was totally screwed up, so i was gunna buy new ram, but figured might as well upgrade and buy the better ram for a upgraded pc. :P

I probably should've sprung for an AMD but I'm running a P4 3.2 w/ HT... and 4 juicy GB of ram

I've heard a lot about how AMD is better, but my games run fine... especially the graphic heavy ones.

Happydude · 02-09-2006, 01:29 AM

AMD is not "better" in general...it's "different"

Intel and AMD chips are programmed for different tasks.

Intel's are more for code processing...like mathematics and such whereas AMDs processors are more for video processing and that sort of stuff...so it depends what you're using your PC for.

I trust nobody!

Except Sales people, Real Estate Agents.......and Politicians. They're all great people to trust.

Meh...its a year off at the least. Even then, they have to convince motherboard makes to do this and then hope they dont half ass any of those motherboards.

I'm still on my Athlon XP 2500+ (at 3200 speeds) but in the next few weeks or so plan to upgrade to either hte 4400 or 4600 Athlon64 Dual Core to future proof myself for the next couple of years or so..depending.
