Re: Woohooooooo !!!
I'd have waited another week or two for the new iterations of graphics cards to be released, as there'll be a rather large price drop in all probability.

Re: Woohooooooo !!!
If I'd have known about that, it probably wouldn't have made any difference, tbh.

Re: Woohooooooo !!!
It's still a very powerful PC though.
Are you going to overclock the barton?

Re: Woohooooooo !!!
From what you put in the original thread where I asked what to get, you reckoned it'll OC to about 3.2. If I see the need, I'll go for it, but I'm not a huge fan (OMFGCHICKENLOL) of adding cooling stuff over and above the processor heatsink/fan it comes with.
If it'll OC without needing anything extra, then I'll give it a go for a laugh, but only if it's relatively simple. Considering the speed increase I should see over the 850MHz I have at the moment, I probably won't notice the difference unless it's displayed on a system monitor.

Re: Woohooooooo !!!
Well, if it comes with a heatsink, I wouldn't do it because the Boxed Sets are typically rubbish.
You probably won't need it anyway, unless you really want to play things like Far Cry or Doom 3 at very high resolutions.

Re: Woohooooooo !!!
Just playing either of those will be justification for the upgrade.
What always amuses my pea-sized brain is salesmen in PC World and such stating that 'if you want to surf the Net, you'll need at least a 1GB of RAM and a 2.8GHz Processor'
Retards.

Re: Woohooooooo !!!
There's a great bar at the end of Sample Rd at Pompano Beach. Plays jazz at the weekend, right on the sand, so you can go play in the surf, chill at the bar and go right back in again, ALL DAY !
Apart from that, it's better than Davie, but then again, so is Brixton, so....
