I am saving upto £6000 for a new Computer and i am planning on building it Should i wait till Vista is released to buy my setup ill like a next gen setup
First of all, putting your thread title in capitals makes a lot of people not want to read it. You really have to decide yourself on whether you want to wait or not. There will always be "next-gen" technology around the corner, so you have to decide whether you want to wait until it comes out and spend more money, risk possible problems, but have a cutting edge system for longer. Having said that, you may want to wait until DirectX10 comes out and get a card that supports that, as it will be around for a while.
i think waiting untill AM2 comming out is a good deal considering ur spending that much money.and yeah waiting untill DX10 is mout maybe interesting
Yes u can ir u dont beleive me have a look at this http://www.voodoopc.com/system/quotekitchen.aspx?productID=1090 It starts at about $14000
Yep, it's real gold! But it's not to my style! Does your budget includes monitors? If you you want the 30" Dell, two perhaps
Thanks Im new to this whole Forum thing so ill remeber for the future as for DX10 and AM2 yes i do want them and im also looking at Ageia PhsyX as it well have support in unreal 3 my specs are at the moment are : The leastet AMD Dual Core FX - on AM2 A quad GPU - DX10 + HDCP The Leastest and Best Creative Sound Blaster Ageia PhsyX Card And Lots more Any comments please post
I think you could have two if you had SLI, but would have to disable one to play in SLI? If you turn it off then you can connect more monitors. Correct me if I'm wrong, never used SLI before.
Sorry For Dual posting but i have a question will SATA 3 be out any time this year and will USB 2.1 or USB 3 be out Also when will IEEE 1394C be out
with 6 k you could build a top notch pc now and then again when vista is released. By the way the voodo isnt a complete rip off you ger a "free" Tshirt
muhahahahaha!!! sorry for the laughing but that is a funneh question. well SATA3 is sorta out. some mobo's actually support that standard but its the hard drives that have limited ability to perform that. ok so if you compare normal IDE to SATA(the original) there is simply nothhing in it as techicnially a harddrive cannot sustain 1.5gigs a second or 3gigs to be honest its all about its burst rates. you'd find a fast drive is more helpfull compared to a "supposed" 3gig transfer rate which never really happens. USB....same thig i believe USB2 has a rate of 480meg a second but that never is fully used when transfering data and i believe theres no such thing as USB3 yet or even planing it as USB2 provides enough bandwith. As for the IEEE standard it pretty much aint used on Pc's any more as USB is faster and cheaper but also wireless means of transfering stuff is slowly killing off things like this. What i'd do if i were you is prob spend half the money you have as AM2/Vista rig will happen to change in hardware lot due to vista monster requirements even if you have AM2/DX10 rig things that come out after that will take ur rig by surprise and than make all the newly bought hardware useless. all im saying is dont put all ur egg's into one basket.
That is a good point, you are better off spending some of the money on a decent system (be it now or when AM2/DX10/Vista comes out) and keeping some for future upgrades.
