sigh...
I wish games would be more CPU intensive because even now i can encode video and still play cs:s or dod:s without too much noticable slowdown

It's not nearly as cold, but easier and cheaper.

It's pretty damn expensive, and there are definitely some better deals, but if you have the cash, it's sweet.

For a 10/10 system, you need the absolute best of the best. One x1900xtx is not the best. Two are. So no, one is not enough for a 10/10 system.

I don't personally know the answer to that one, but IMO anything marked "fatal1ty" is just a marketing ploy.

And, once again, raid 0 is only necessary for a 10/10 system. When you're paying that much for a CPU / GPU, I think you can afford to double your HD.


lol, and slow down on the questions mate

value for money it is. £280 more expensive than the 4800+ X2 - for just an unlocked multipier and 200mhz speed increase.

over twice the price of of a 4400+ X2 for 400mhz increase.

what i was getting at is these tiny bumps in speeds are almost invisible to the eye in games/apps and with a small overclock you can usually exceed the performance of a stock FX60.

if your pockets are deep enough and you are well aware that the FX60 isn't going to make a day and night difference over a lower model then go for it.

5 ish

Tough rating system.

Hmm out of curiosity, what boost would I get in this rating with a 600MHz OC?

So it would be this stock:

3700+ Sandy @ 2.2
7800GTX 256
EPoX N9APJ
480w Neopower
2x1GB OCZ Plat. 2-3-2-5
80GB HD 8MB cache

vs.

3700+ Sandy @ 2.8
7800GTX 256
EPoX N9APJ
480w Neopower
2x1GB OCZ Plat. 2-3-2-5
80GB HD 8MB cache
