Hi everyone I've been out of the "Pc-game" for a while now, but now I'm planning to buy myself a new pc to take with me to college next year. I'm looking for calculation power (rendering and such), not so very much for a gaming rig. I've put together an idea maybe some of you, who are up to date about hardware can give me pointers on what I should/could change
Unless you're on a tight budget, I'd recommend going with an AM2 board. It'll mean your system is a lot more futureproof. Other than that, that's a very nice looking rig.
Maybe I should wait for more AM2 motherboards to come out Also is there going to be an AM2 4000+? As far as I can see now the only AM2 4000+ is an X2 one and it's far more expensive than the regular AM2 3800+ one
I'd just go for a 3800+ to be honest. It's not that much slower, and of course you can always have an overclocking session to get it that extra 200 MHz.
I really don't see why, I won't be playing any games on that rig so ... But concerning that CPU, I would have found it nice to have 1Mb cache instead of 512kb's thats why I'd rather have a 4000 one. Maybe I should look around some more Maybe intel
