Currently Im running a 2.4ghz celeron, some like asus saggittarious 2 motherboard, xpert vision nvidia fx 5700 256mb gfx card and a gig of ddr ram ( 2x512 sticks.. its not the best type)...
Okay, Im considering a amd x2 3800. It's dual core, only like 2ghz or something... new motherboard too. Any1 think it's a waste of $550 or there abouts? I'm going to be doing a lot of 'multithreaded' applications next year whatever I do for tertiary education as well as my spare time. I'm getting a new motherboard too.. anyways to my list of questions ( when u answer try n put whatever question # ure answering in )
1. Any1 think that processor is shit? Worth spending a little more on something else?
2. Should I upgrade to better ram?
3. I'm looking for a new case preferably with a power supply. I'm thinking neons, blue... what's a good brand?
4. Should I get a new gfx card now.. or wait a bit? Cos if I get a new one I gotta change the motherboard n stuff.
I think that's it. If I think of anything else, Im sure to post again. I like getting people's opinions on things, real people. I have a terrible dislike for computer review sites, only to look at benchmarks n stuff.
Thanks for your help =)
