My brother's burthday present ...
 

i want to buy a new system for him since he's a gamer and only has an intel 1800mhz with an 9600XT he needs something new i think so ....

AMD XP 3000 Barton (socket A - FSB333 - 512ko - 0.13µ) 140.00 €
Asus A7N8x-X
(NVIDIA nForce2, FSB 400 MHz, ALC650 6 channel, LAN, DDR 400) 75.00 €

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
205.00 €

is that like a good game rig combined with his gfx card and will it perfom good in OC'ing because at first i wanted to buy an 2500+ so he can clock it at an 3000+ or 3200+ but will the 3000+ will go clock the same or better in overall ?

and what's the diffrence between :

Asus A7N8x-X and Asus A7N8x E DeLuxe

only those special futeres like the wifi slot and dual lan gigabit and on and does it perfom even in oc'ing ?

or do you advise me an other mobo with KT400 chipset because the local chop only has these 2 asus mobo's and 1 abit mobo witch cost like 59€ and is not looking promesing. model = Abit KD7A

thx if u can help me

btw it's urgent, because it's tomorow and i would get it in the afternoon ;)

discovered that the deluxe has dual channel so i would thake that deluxe

and maybe max to AMD XP 2800 Barton (socket A - FSB333 - 512ko - 0.13µ)
102.00 €

that comes on 200€ .

The deluxe has soundstorm to.

and that is ? a special soundcard or ... ;)

If it may cost a little bit more I'd get:
A64 2800+ boxed: 175 euro
Abit K8V Pro: 95 euro
+20 shipping k&m

yeah i was thinking of that to but thats like a huge pricetag to :'(

and then you don't have it tomorrow ;)

but euhm, still a € 200 birthday gift for your brother, thats nice, or should I say :mad:


I have 3 brothers, wish they gave me € 200 in hardware for my birthday (each) :)

hehe idd, going after an 3000+ tomorow in the morning @ 10 o'clock.

i will install it soon so he won't notice it and when he plays, than, .... he will ! and will be stunned :D

btw i'm not paying alone huh ;)

and he's happy as hell!

and i got a new server, check sig ;p
