Athlon64 or Athlon64 X2 Dual Core
 

which is better?

Pure gaming Single core (A64) - everything else Dual Core (X2)

How about A64 FX is it more powerful than A64

yeah, go for those cheap AMD's, FX is history (for now).

no i'm on socket A and planning to buy a new mobo socket AM2:ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe nForce 590 sLi wireless edition is this mobo ok?

Core 2. Intel

does core 2 intel mobo has Sli?

nForce5 for Intel will have SLI support; not out yet

i wait for that.
I plan to buy geforce 7900GT for full gaming experince suggestion anyone?

why would you buy a 7900 GT with 512Mb? ...

check my latest review please:)

I have just read at ES that the cheap Conroe 6400 with the cheap 965 boards clocks insane. That might be a worthy investment when going single card (which is the best on budget).

ES ?

extremsystems


apparently, the steppig 5 on the 4 MB conroes lets boards only go to 400, while the 4 on the 2 MB chips lets boards do 500 and 480 MHz (retail boards)

again I ask you, why go with 512Mb version?

the GT KO SC is noticeably faster;)

why do you link to that site, there's no comparo of 512mb vs 256mb 7900 GT:p

Great 7900GT KO SC.

if i got this 7900GT KO SC pair for sli what the best power supply can support it?

The Silverstone 750W Zeus has got some very good reviews lately, including from Madshrimps;

I have 400watt PSU now if get PSU with higher watt is that mean my electricity bill raising?

not really, the PC will not use 750W, it's what the PSU is capable of power; your bill will depend on the components you use

now i get it thanx.
that the reason why i afraid buying a PSU with higher watt.:^D

uhm... I don't think you get it quite

if you run your current system with 400W PSU or 750W PSU with same efficiency rating, you won't be using more power.

i think higher watt PSU mean higher bills but i wrong.

I think the efficency might be lower ebcause you don't run it in the optimum range.

well, it's far from bad at "middle" usage (~400W)

does computer need AVR(Automatic Voltage Regulator)?

why my +12Volt Not show 12.00volt? currently it shows 11.673.

My +12volt rail show 17A but my geforce 6200 need 18A i think this is the problem because when i play F.E.A.R it suddenly crash.

There is no way your 6200 card needs 18Amp*12 Volt = 216 Watts of power; I don't care what game you play/

i wrong then.

The topic was A64 or A64 X2 ..... like any project which always comes down to three elements; money, time and scope. Without mentioning money and time, it is pointless. Do want make you happy.

Time = now
Money = least amount (you can't beat X2 at 40% off from last week) + (inexpensive Mobo) + (inexpensive DDR)
Scope = decent gaming machine

Unless you are going for >21" LCD, it is pointless to go SLI, plus power supplies that go for >$150.

If you worry about electric bill, it is pointless to play PC games; in fact, PC game play costs hell a lot more money than console.

i dont care how much money i use to buy a gaming PC but i live with my parents they handle the electric bills.

then you give them $$ for power:)

consider your right.
