great work from :ws: swr-ke :ws:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just noticed (or perhaps i'm just blind):
the 'family pc' has no motherboard included.

Indeed, lol

correct! it has been fixed =)

And oc'ers don't need a monitor apparently :)

and by the watercooled pc: 2*512MB DDR for the price of 1*512

that is no error my friend "Price/Piece" :)
in the total cost the 2x has been calculated

ah k

the barebone is listed as 1500 € ons the first page
but in the menu 1000 €

fixed =)

and as far as I know the only ATA maxtor drives with over 1 year of warranty is the maxline plus series.
The diamondmax plus 9 has only one, not three.

incorrect :p

I found 2 'little' mistakes:

CDRW MSI 52/24/52 Black Retail + soft € 0
(@ Low budget Pc)

CTX P922E LCD 19' TFT € 0
(@ high budget pc)

no mistakes my friend, means the product price has not been updated in the last 30 days @ www.prijswatch.be , where the HW components and prices are gathered from.

in the end we only try to provide a list of componenst who at the time of writing the guide fitted in the budget. As hardware prices change almost every other day.

We are aware that the €0 is an eye catcher in the list, but we like to keep things dynamic around here, so if ever someone updates the prices in the www.Prijswatch.be of that particular product, it will also reflect in the systemguides ! :)

time for a new guide? Maybe something with A64 now?

our systemguide guru swr-ke is almost done :)

great :)

2 weeks later...

System guide is ready :)
Sorry for the waiting

great work Swr-ke! :ws:

thx :D
love ya :)

edit :

@ the budget pc :
DVDRW NEC ND-1300A BLACK € 113.17

@ the 1200 € pc :
DVDRW NEC ND-1300A € 99

is this correct ?

maybe to fit the case & looks :)

was also my first thought ,
but personally i dont think 'looks' fit in the 'low budget' profile , if it costs more.
better spend it on a faster cpu then.

just my 2 cents

is the purchase of a 64bit cpu worth it?

espec when amd is going to release its new cpu design?

actually, my question is: should I buy my (32 bit PIV) now, or w8 till amd got that new chipset/cpu and then buy a (more expensive) 64bit system?

if you buy a PC now and want to keep it for 1-2 years, then yes, the current 64bit CPU from AMD will do.

if you change hardware every 6 months, wait for socket 939.

roger that :)

situation changed.. I prolly wont be buying it before april..
lets see how the HW world develops :D
