Spring RTS Engine

Pentium 4 (Hyper threading) at 3 ghz. Although its not. The barsteds at dell actually gave me a 2989 mhz processor. Cheapskates.

Oh yer. Thinking of getting this:

AMD AM2 64 X2 4200+
2 gig new ram
AM2 Saphire Crossfire mobo.
P180 Case

What I already have:

Antec Truepower 2 Server class 550W power supply
A sapphire X1600Pro 512
DVD RW
250 gig Hard disk

Sounds good? 650£ budget ftw.

Your solution is good Cayder - However it has ONE thing that I'm afraid to do - Overclocking.

I have no idea nor experience to do that =P.

I guess I'll just be a good for nothing average person and buy the 7800GS =P

get a 7950GTX. its 2 7900GTX's in one! With horrible bottlenecking! you can't lose!

don't get crossfire until its matured a little bit more. if you want dual vid cards, go with SLI for the time being or wait if you're an ATI fan.

It says right in that artical that it's backwards compatible. No doubt either PCI-e or PCI-eII will be sufficient to run DX10, otherwize I doubt they will be able to sell too many vista copies because only people who have top of the line hardware will be able to run it. Windows makes most of it's sales on buisinesses. They don't make any profit from restricting thier market to only high end gamers.

Just joking, 3Dmark is a Windows application so I can't run it on my Linux box..

What are your system specs :) looks very very nice!

Aha! I suspected as much. We've got the exact same processor! (though since yesterday I've had mine running at 3.6 ghz)

asus 7800GT (oc core:450 mem:1165)

Hee hee hee... I have my GS running at 475/1400 ^^

*bloody hell. why can't I delete this? I just posted it like 3 seconds ago*

Indeed.

Anyway, Should I wait for conroe, Or get an AMD 64 X2 AM2 4200+ for the same price?

Someone mind telling me WTH is conroe?

New Intel processor. about as fast as a Pentium D, Except uses less power, And produces less heat. Also is "grown" with special bacteria, Which makes it cheaper apparantly.

i cant even run 3dmark06

but i get 2600
on 3dmark03
