My new system....coming soon.
by Fire Marshal » Tue May 29, 2007 4:16 pm
So, I've been looking at getting a new system the past week. I was seriously contemplating
whether I should get a new one or not, cause this seriously puts a hurt in my wallet.
My computer has been in a declining spiral the past 6 months or so...pretty much is
just a web browser now. I am lucky to get 30fps in DoD:S
but I bit it and sent the order through, yesterday. I did a fair amount of research, cause
I have never put a system together myself, and am not a hardware junkie. Hopefully
I did alright. If I didn't, oh well. it is what it is
Going with $700-$800 budget:
$66.99
$114.50
$199.99-$20 MIR=179.99 the price actually dropped $10 last night, dammit!
$109.99
$94.99
$49.99
$39.99 price went up $5 last night wheeha.
I also got a couple other items, namely a better fan for the Video Card, and a SATA
DVD drive. Cause apparently the stock fan sounds like a Vacuum Cleaner
Total Price, including shipping:
$764.53
Well. I hope it does well. It should ship tomorrow, and hopefully get here by Friday or
next Monday/Tuesday.
Critiques?

[/quote] Anyone else have experience with the 1950xt?[/quote]
I setup a Core2 Duo E6400 system with the Sapphire X1950XT 512MB card
a couple of months ago for my friend. The fan is only noisy when
the computer boots up since the fan will spin full speed and then
slow down.
The Sapphire drivers include an overclock utility that works pretty
good. I didn't test with DOD but it worked well with her Sims 2 game.
A good brand of powersupply is Enhance Electronics. Her system
has an Enhance 400Watt PS and no problem at all along with 2GB
of system ram. Not an overclock system but good and stable since
using an Intel brand DG965WHKR ATX motherboard.
