Jr's After Christmas Special

if you can spend alittle more i would recommend the good old 6000(90nm)+ over the others. The 65nm chips are good but take alot of voltage to overclock. With the 6000+ 3.3-3.4 could be seen with ALOT less voltage then the other chips would take. But at the same time the 65nm chips could run cooler even at a high voltage

its amazing how much that mobo has for that money (AS Rock) I am not too thrilled by how close the PCI Es are together but the 3 PCIs below are cool and the PCI E X1 above also can come in handy.

Actually I was also looking at a 5600+.

Yeah, that board is a tremendous value for what it actually is.

Then again after thinking about it over the past couple hours. I decided to stick with the original plans unless someone can persuade otherwise.

EDIT: And going to possibly switch the psu for this one

If I want crossfire, I will have enough power.

I'll give that some thought.

also keep in mind that the 4850e and up should hit 3ghz on less then 1.3v if you get a good chip.I ran my 4850e@3.1ghz@1.31v gamed on it and used it for days at that. But one of my friends had a 5600+(F3 windsor) that it took him 1.55v to get 3.1ghz so it depends on if you get a good chip. after some thought if 3.1-3.2ghz is good for you then both will do. If your looking to get 3.1ghz easy and low volage a 5400+BE,5600+,4850e,6000+ all of them should do it easy

Thanks for all the replies! As far as after christmas goes, it will have to be a no. Christmas bonus this year was alot less than what was expected. So if any of you can come up with an idea:

I have $100 worth in Best Buy cards I could spend. My question for you is, what would you buy?

Option a) 500GB WD GP SATA Hard drive
Option b) Dazzle DVD Recorder Link and SB X-Fi Audio Xtreme Link (FYI onboard works fine for me

)
Option c)Pinnacle PCTV Hd Pro Link
Option d) Insignia 5ch HT System Link

I do have a 10% coupon i could use with any of these items.

Many of you may laugh at me but these are items that would appeal heavily to myself. FYI, I do live in an apartment building so I won't be cranking the volume on the Home Theatre System.

Any thoughts?
