Dark side temptation

pt · May 24, 2007

i know some ppl that will try to kill me if i change

so here's the deal
change my athlon 3000+ (stock cooler) and foxconn c51xem2aa mobo (no warranty on mobo)
to a
abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD and a p4 540 (temporary)until i get a CORE 2 DUO E2140 (won't take long, pheraps a couple weeks)

so should i stay with amd or change to intel? :ohwell:

pls help

Zero Cool · May 24, 2007

AMD PWNS!
wait so if you dont change to the P4 you wont get the C2D?

tbh Fatal1ty is all overpriced crap. its like a "wannaberazer" but worse quality

mortal · May 24, 2007

Change! try somethnig new.

Depend on which stepping is your 3000+

pt · May 24, 2007

1st the p4, then the c2d

the board is pretty good and has lots of options, the best m-atx board out there

2800mhz max for daily use

Zero Cool · May 25, 2007

so why exactly do you need to go to p4 to get c2d?

pt · May 25, 2007

because it's a direct trade, i will buy the c2d as soon as i get money

WarEagleAU · May 25, 2007

Its up to you PT. honestly, Id keep the AMD, but if you can get a C2D and clock the hell out of it, I dont see why not. Im personally waiting for the Phenom to come out to gauge if Im going to that or stepping up to AM2. That way, there should be a nice price cut on them, moreso than now.

pt · May 25, 2007

when those come out, my mobo (top of line now) will prob be old

zekrahminator · May 25, 2007

Keep the AMD, if you want an upgrade that badly the Athlon 64 X2 series is pretty low priced

.

Grings · May 25, 2007

i dont believe what im reading, has someone hacked pt's account??

JC316 · May 25, 2007

Hehehe, oh PT, what was all that SHIT you gave me?!? Heheh, oh yes, murder is in my eyes, mwahahahah!!!!! Grow eyes in the back of your head Spanish traitor

.

In all seriousness, go for it.

i know

i found a cheap 3600+
http://www.extreme-computers.pt/loja/detalhes.php?id=2892

but to be honest i want a m-atx board, and try a c2d
i will think of it more

d44ve · May 25, 2007

I think you need to look at what is a better situation for you.

I have always found it ridiculous that someone would buy and inferior product just because its an AMD, ATI, INTEL or whatever.

I think whatever you think you could get the most performance out of, thats what you need to get.

Personally, I suggest Intel setup... just because you can go upto the C2D soon, and we all know thats a great CPU

DR.Death · May 25, 2007

the dark side is were the party is ....lol

Kursah · May 25, 2007

I'd say wait till you can afford your C2D setup completely and aviod getting that P4. You'll only lose performance from that P4. I do enjoy the c2d experience, and the overclocking is amazing, so is the performance. But why can't you just wait two weeks and get your c2D setup then? I see no feasable point to buy 2 processors just to end up with the better one in short time...if that was my choice or wait, I'd wait.

I vote C2D if you can wait, keep AMD if ya can't, maybe upgrade to a better AMD proc and clock that up!

Zeratul_uy · May 25, 2007

AMD 4ever!!

and i agree with Kursah

wait untill get the Athlon X2!! (j/k)

d44ve · May 25, 2007

That is a nice "all in one" motherboard too.

It supports a Quadcore and with those prices dropping to ridiculous prices in July. I would go with that MB.

FOXCONN1115 · May 25, 2007

I'd say it all depends on what you're gonna do with the system. AM2's are wicked cheap and OC like crazy, I honestly just upgraded from 939 to AM2 and I love the difference... I want a C2D or C2Quad, but from what I hear about the AM2's going to be upgradable to quad core Phenom's, I would just go for AMD all the way. I mean hey, can you grab a decent C2D for under $100? AMD's AM2 line is dirt cheap.. dual core 3600+ x2 duel core for like.. $80.. a NICE motherboard.. $120, ram $140 for 2GB of Corsair XMS thats basically a new system for $340, plus there are always mail in rebates and stuff.. 8800GTS 320MB for $280.. on a $600 budget you could get a potentially SICK and highly OCable AMD rig that'll keep you up to date until prices drop more, and new technology comes out..

Wile E · May 25, 2007

Can you test the board for overclocking before you trade? I think you may be disapointed if you trade, but the board ends up not overclocking well.

pt · May 25, 2007

i already tested the board, not bad, but needs a special modified bios, i'm thinking (as you said) to only buy when i got money for the c2d, i REALLY don't wan't to mess with another prescott...

Ketxxx · May 25, 2007

Go for it. My E44 rig is finally running, got it to 3.5GHz so far, a grand total of a 75% CPU OC.
