If you were to build a gaming rig, what parts would you choose.
If you click on C3, Server or Desktop you'll see more specs for that particular computer.

I would choose the one with the coolest codenames... like Codename: Abraham's Ham or Codename: Date Rape

I would use a human torso... and maybe a few chicken legs for flair.

Not modding T&T anymore has afforded me the fun of being a jack-ass in Tech-threads... Love it (because it was wity) :icon25:

That ram category is a joke.

I need to save up some money and buy a new system.

the desktop comp to me looks ok for a gaming rig. i wouldnt go for the server because from what im told they are crap at games due to them being designed for server tasks. however tbh i wouldnt know so im just guessing.

at least im honest about it tho.

I'd go with the Barton, A7N8X-E, 6800, but get a gig of dual channel at least.

Post by **shaft** » Thu Nov 10, 2005 12:50 am

actually, I have a 3200 barton, an A7N8X-E Deluxe and a Thermalright sp-97 just collecting dust on a shelf.

That's what ive had. Good gaming. He would be hard pressed to play Quake4 on any of those though.

How much for the barton and board if you were going to sell it?

Post by **shaft** » Thu Nov 10, 2005 12:53 am

dunno, do you live in the states?

Post by **FragaGeddon** » Thu Nov 10, 2005 12:55 am

The CPU in the Desktop PC wasn't the fastest one I got.
I thought the guy meant 3200 vs 3000 but I think he was talking about the FSB.
So my ram is only running at 133 Mhz.

I'd buy it off you for the right price, but it'd probably have to wait until after xmas.

Edit: I live in Canada.

Post by **FragaGeddon** » Thu Nov 10, 2005 1:05 am

What FSB does that have?
