Sargallath Abraxium Posted January 25, 2006 Author Posted January 25, 2006 I'll tell you what I told both my kids...start saving and buy your 'Dream System' while you're still living with your folks. When you get out on your own, you ain't gonna have any 'toy money' till you get to my age. ( unless, of course, you 'marry up' like Sarge is doing ) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...hehehe...no flies on this furball, lad...hehehe...btw, guess what the first damnable thing was that I loaded up on me new "Unca Sargenstein's Monster" rig???... ...Planescape: Torment... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance", And maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage. I can't remember if I cried When I heard that TORN was recently fried, But sadness touched me deep inside, The day...Black Isle died. For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way
tarna Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 I just bought an Athelon 64 FX55. I should have my new toy put together this weekend. I'm looking forward to Baldur's Gate! God but the Black Isle games were the best! Ruminations... When a man has no Future, the Present passes too quickly to be assimilated and only the static Past has value.

tarna Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 I was looking at the FX60 but it was an extra $500 USD! Since this is only the third system I've built, I'll just have to settle with a 2.6 GHz single-core. Ruminations...

tarna Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Beats me. I'll have to check my paperwork and get back to you. It was almost $1000 USD. I got it for $775 Why? Ruminations... When a man has no Future, the Present passes too quickly to be assimilated and only the static Past has value.

tarna Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 I keyed the manufacturer's number into Google and got this... http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-AMD_Processor_..._Socket_939_PIB I have my 'cutsheet' if there is something there I can be looking for.

tarna Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Well that just sucks. I've already installed it into a board. It a MSI K8N NOE4PLT NF4U S939 ATX. Unless I'm overclocking ( which I'm not ), should this become a problem? I already intend to add more air through the case. Ruminations...

mkreku Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 ATI recently took back the lead in both single card and dual card setups: http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/01/24/ati...ixel_pipelines/ Too bad those high-end cards cost as much as TWO Xbox 360's.. each.
