I did it!...I just configured and ordered a Athlon Dual Core from CyberPowerSystems

Quote from gnome:

Expensive RAM, if your mobo will tolerate it, will increase overall performance by about 2%... hardly cost efficient. You'd be better off buying more value RAM than a smaller amount of premium RAM.

ditto . . . but get matched ram even if it is value ram
 
Now that case...they are all ugly in my opinion...sorry I just am not a gamer...but aluminum is a good thing...most of them have a temp display I think

to see the pictures you must click on the line item

I am calling Cyber on Monday with my changes...

Any cases you like gentleman....? If you had to pick one ...which one would it be and why? there was a rounded corner red one there...it looked like an enema...

the Cool Master tech 101 in blue shiny alluminum ---it looks good.


And thanks guys for the Ram advice. 2% is hardly an improvement worth the money IMO.


On these dual core AMD deals what exactly is the performance improvement?? over a traditional Athlon chip---Is it better for multitasking? Is there any type of programs that will not run on it?

According to web articles, tests have indicated "significant" improvement in multi-tasking.

However, we're seeing just the first incantation of dual/multiple core. They will get better as will the chipsets. It's the coming thing in CPUs.

And while AMD has been kickin' Intel's butt lately, a recent article indicated the new Conroe dualcore from Intel performed 15-30% better than the AMD X2s.

The way I see it... there are major evolutionary changes going on right now in PCs... Vista, PCIE, BTX, dual/milti-core CPUs and their chipsets, flash memory to replace mechanical hard drives. By the time Vista SP2 is out, all of these things will have matured a bit; that seems like it would be a good time to go for the new technologies.... about 3 years. But who among us can wait for all that? :D

Just my humble opinion, but I wouldn't get red unless I saw it in person first...shades of red can be all over the map. I'd prefer blue or silver myself. FWIW, purple is my favorite color...by FAR, so I ordered a "purple" case a few years ago off the web. Checked several different sites and it looked like "my" shade of purple. Opened the box and it looked maroon to me. I disliked the color so much I immediately sold it on eBay.
