Im upgrading (Gear for sale Page 2)

Post by **SOAPboy** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 5:07 am

On a budget.. Kinda

So, i have "ABOUT" 1k to just toss away into my comp, as of now its as follows

ABIT KN8 Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

XFX PVT70FUNF7 Geforce 7800GTX 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card with 450MHz Core and 1250MHz Memory - Retail

OCZ Peroformance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model OCZ4002048PFDC-K - Retail

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3200BPBOX - Retail

My "biggest" worry is that motherboard.. anyone suggest one in the same price range thats better?

Oh, and anyone looking to upgrade their shit? Got a nice machine sitting here that will need a HD and CD drive and itll be a nice gaming rig that will be for sale..

What's the difference between the Abit AN8 and KN8 series? The AN8 is $94.

By the way, SOAP...do you know about the free motherboard from eVGA with their 7800GT or 7800GTX?

GT:

GTX:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814130234

The board is actually supposed to be very good.

Anandtech reviewed the board here:

The Jetway board is the same as the eVGA board. I think they made it for eVGA.

I'm guessing the S/PDIF connections on the AN8 make it a little more expensive.

Yes, but note the price differences in the GTXs and the "speed" differences.. :icon32:

And yes, my 6800GT will be for sale, but id LIKE to package all the stuff i have laying about WITH it..

Post by **SOAPboy** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 7:29 am

Post by **glossy** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 7:30 am

a little less than a million dollars, but not by much.

Post by **Don Carlos** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 7:43 am

Soap
Get a better processor if u can @ least 3500
Also is your 6800 AGP or PCIE?

Post by **Don Carlos** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 8:00 am

How much u want for the card?

Toss some offers, remember tho id REALLY like to ship this all out at once, saves me on shipping, and hassle..

and yes its AGP, if it was PCI id not upgrade the card :icon26:

Post by **SOAPboy** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 8:09 am

As for the 3500.. i could, but um, clawhammer of vince?

Not to keen on the newer A64s honestly..

Post by **SplishSplash** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 8:12 am

Don't the newer ones (Venice & San Diego) have SSE3 and better power management?

What is wrong with that?

I'd like to see some benchmarks how much of a difference CPU speed really makes from a 3000+ on up.
