i hate being lazy

[Rampage.]

whoever wants to do it, go ahead and be nice, make me a computer with an athlon 4800x2 or anything above that, i have 1550 dollars to spend

[Mstenger404]

:/ buy the parts and give it to the local computer repairman guy.

[Hellfighter]

sounds a job for Scott he into this big time now days.

he can build them and save you a lot of money doing it up too. you get the most for the 1500

[Mstenger404]

oh scotty, how much can you get a ati x1900 XTX for?

[Scattergun]

the cheapest i ever say a x1900xtx was bout 499 (Open Box)

[Mstenger404]

:/ i saw one on msn shopping for 490

[Scott]

depends on what you want.. sli or crossfire? the x2 4800+ makes it kinda hard since it's spendy. a x2 4400+ is a better deal and very easy to overclock. I have mine clocked at 2.4GHz (4800+) and I didn't really do anything but change 1 bios setting, and I saved $250 at the time...

$1,654.96

That's a pretty nice system.. but like I said I should go for the 4400+ and just OC it to 4800+ (Very EASY), save $200 and get a crossfire board (Abit AT8-32X, +$100 ) so you can get another graphics cards later on if you want, IMHO. Then your total would be around $1,500

[Scattergun]

4400+ can be over clocked to around 2.8 and are still stabal (with aftermarket cooling)

4400+ is the way to go

Nice set up Scott

[Scott]

I got mine upto 2.53 with the stock fan at 36C idle and 44C full load. After that it started to crash the computer (but i really dont know what I am doing.) I just leave it at 2.4ghz cause all I really wanted was a 4800+, just couldn't afford it..

[Rampage.]

Scott I am planning on getting water cooling, and if I was to get the 4400 would you be welling to tell me how to overclock it, and also would I run into any cooling problems?

[Scattergun]

Water cooling you woudl still need a system fan on your case becasue your notth adn south bridges might overheat becasue with water you go no air circulating around the board

It aint hard you go into bios (If unlocked) and go to advanced summin and then it shows FSB and you up teh fsb by 3-5 Mhz each time

say 200mhz

first time would be 205 then check
then 209 then check
then 214 then check then 218 then .....

[Scott]

With abit you get uGuru, which is very nice for overclocking.

All you do is go into uGuru in the bios and set you external clock to 220Mhz to get 2.420Ghz. After that requires you to know a little about overclocking, which I don't know..

You might want to run the cpu for a few days at the stock setting first though to break it in. Mine was very picky about overclocking the first day, after a few days though 2.4Ghz was as easy as changing the external clock from 200 to 220Mhz .

[Mstenger404]

so uhh..... Scott how much can you get a ATI x1900 XTX for?

[Scattergun]

didn't you see the link it was 480 in that link

[Mstenger404]

i didnt see no link <_<
