cpu's same prices - was goto get a 478 for ebuyer and a anus board - but that site don't sell them - could u tell me which CPU to get, and recommend a mobo from that site?

 

[Kenny]

Heh... you call them anus too

I`m no good with INtel systems, Sorry- I`m an AMD man.

Socket 478 - do NOT touch LAG775 at the moment - it needs DDR2 memory which can only run at CAS4 at this point in time and LGA775 systems generally tend to run slower because of this.

My advice is stick with Socket 478 Prescott or go AMD

 

[GONNA-GET-U]

ok i'll go for 478 - which motherboard should i get from that site - as i was goto get an asus mobo - but there not sellin them ? lookin to spend about £70-£100

the one that i was lookin at was http://www.pcwcomponentcentre.co.uk/invt/ms6758050&bklist=page,1
any good or should i get another 1 ?

 

[ChristopherP]

if you can find it, get an Asus P4P800-E Deluxe

its a springdale but it's faster than most canterwoods!

Well, that's typical of PC World, really typical

I was going to buy 2 x 512Mb of Corsair Value PC3200 anyway, so thought I'd get 25% off.

Guess what? They're out of stock of all flavours of that particular RAM.

Bah, humbug, plus some other choice expressions that I best not vent....

I was lookin at the killer prices on the Geforce 6800GT OC, To bad thier out of stock

. Then it hit me... i have no idea how much a pound is! hehehe... ... So does anybody know what it would be in american dollars or maybe a estimate perhaps?

just though i'd ask.

 

[Ian]

£1 = $1.8 approx

www.xe.com should have the latest rate though!

 

[Kenny]

I cant afford, or really justify a nice 6800Ultra or the hottest Athlon 64. ah well, will just have to wait till the prices drop by 25%.... and the the last person in the country to get one

 

[GONNA-GET-U]

i ordered my P 3.2 and think i'll stick with my asus mobo

cheapest place i've seen it is from ebuyer at £76 (P4P800-E Deluxe)
but out of stock and takes 7 day to order - any1 know another site at same or cheaper price?

oh - the offer ends today - so get clicking !!

it's also 25% off before vat and delivery !

 

[Kye]

some produces will be out of stock for around 15 days on pc components, then disappear. my first custom build PC was from components all brought from there site, so right now its the only one i trust buying from. mirco-direct have so much more on offer though.

im trying too justify a 6800GT. its my birthday today ( 18th! ) and was thinking about a new PSU, memory and graphics card. anyone have a site which reviews the 6800 series?

 

[KGB-911]

Happy birhtday!

 

[KGB-911]

Boo Hoo!

there is not much in there that i can use... maybe a mouse mat, and thats bout it!

KGB-911: If you look at the first post, the offer expired on the 25th September

 

[KGB-911]

I didn't see that, it only says "25th" it does not say the date until you look at the date it was posted!
