Gremelin Community Owner Registered: 02/28/02 Posts: 7192 Loc: Portland, OR; USA	If you want a DVD+R BestBuy has one (8x write, some they have are 5x write) for around $69 after rebate ($89 before). I mention this as you claim yours is $49.59 but tiger sais $89.99 (plus shipping you're lookin upwards to $120 dependant on what you choose). As for the mobo/proc, I'm going with a soyo board for my machine with an AMD Athlon XP 3200+ proc, equals a bit cheaper than what you're goin at... Mobo $114 Proc $107 for cases however, with my beast I'm wiggering together, I'm going with the Aspire Super-X Alien mmm, goodness... _________________________ Donate to UGN Security here.

Gremelin Community Owner Registered: 02/28/02 Posts: 7192 Loc: Portland, OR; USA	I'd build my own (as I'm doing)... I'm goin with a Soyo Mobo, AMD Athlon XP Proc (3200+) and then slowly upgrading the ram (up to 4GB, as the 1GB sticks I found are $320 each). _________________________ Donate to UGN Security here.

jonconley UGN Super Poster Registered: 10/08/02 Posts: 955 Loc: Merrill, IA, USA	Anandtech Benchmarks Here is a quote also from another Anandtech article that you gamers might find interest in Quote: AMD owners have much more of a reason to rejoice: the Athlon 64 runs Doom perfectly. It's almost as if the game was built to run best on an Athlon 64; maybe AMD should invest some marketing dollars in their own "The way it's meant to be played" campaign. And to make things even better, you don't even have to have the fastest Athlon 64 to get great performance, even the meager 3000+ manages to offer performance equal to that of Intel's Extreme Edition Pentium 4 at a much lower cost. The key to AMD's success is the on-die memory controller; with lower latency memory accesses than the competing Intel solutions, Doom 3 sees system memory as one big cache and drives performance up considerably. It is also the on-die memory controller that makes cache size less of an issue on the Athlon 64, while too small of a cache seems to make or break performance with the Pentium 4. Don't feel like looking up much more. I wouldn't say they are worthless, course you can have your own opinion. I would say the price is not worth the benefit for the FX-53. But the lower end of the 64s do show enough of a performance benefit to warrant paying a little more money for a 64 than a 32, even using a price/performance ratio.

Spyrios UGN Member Registered: 03/15/04 Posts: 419 Loc: VA	It's probably not a joke, there are student versions of software that are pretty cheap. I'm not sure what the dfferences are. Microsoft estimates that the upgrade student version should cost about $100. I have been researching this and if there is any difference between them i can't find it. You can also get Office 2003 student and teacher edition for $129. _________________________ D, world destruction Over and overture N, do I need Apostrophe T, need this torture?-They Might Be Giants
