I have a very inexpensive opportunity for this upgrade. Basically it's a new computer. It's a kit I'm buying at a seminar for about 1/2 the retail price I can put together from Newegg. I'm waiting to hear back about upgrading some of the components though.

CPU
AMD Phenom, not sure which one yet

RAM

HDD

PS

OS
Windows Vista Ultimate

Looks really good to me, although I will be joining the vid card Dark Side.

Looks like we're getting quad core Phenoms. Gah... Waiting for 2 weeks is going to be tough.


Oh, and I found out the board won't crossfire with the vid card. That may be added in the future though.
Myopic OMO Posted - May 21 2008 : 18:48:26
It's called Hybrid CrossfireX for the onboard and the "discrete" video card. And yes, I can always throw in something else down the line. I am coming from a Socket 478 P4 3.0 with 3GB and a 6800GT 256MB (AGP) though. I do have a 650 in my current case, it's a nice newer Enermax.

And so everyone knows; I'm waiting to hear back from one of the organizers about changes/upgrades to the "Kit".

Here's the link to where I'm going.

Yep what they said and I think you are paying for the onboard video and then adding a card. I'd find the same board w/o onboard video. The 450w power suply isn't near big enough. Go at least 600w. I'd look into an Nvidia card. I've been gaming since the beginning of BF2 with ATI cards and after changing recently to the 8800GTS I was really surprised how much better it was then the last ATI 1900XT. Plus it was like $100 cheaper.

Thinking the same thing, should be able to squeeking by with 450w, but doesn't leave much breathing room.

Can't argue with that price Myopic.

I'll have 4GB when I leave. And for about a $550 price tag for the basic kit, I can't argue much. I haven't heard back about being able to make some upgrades to the kit yet.
Stingray Posted - May 21 2008 : 14:24:53
Vid card doesn't leave me warm and fuzzy, but the rest of the rig seems okay.

With Vista, you'll want at least 2 gigs if your gaming. 4 gigs if your using 64 bit. Just from personal experience.

Vista 64 really woke up for me when I went from 2 gigs to 4.
