Basically, it's fast. My old computer is still crying after this bad boy bitch-slapped it.
I'm not using it full time yet. I still have to tear out the old heatsink and install the liquid cooling. Once that is in I can start overclocking. Then I'll get some benchmarks. Graphics won't be amazing marks though. That card is 8 months old and a lot has changed.

But mine still isn't bad, I want to do some upgrades but my wife would kick my ass. All I want to do is add 2 more 120GB hard drives and put a 3gig proc in it. Too bad I am stuck with the 533 FSB unless I swap mobo's as well.Bacon wrote:grinch2171 wrote:So far my PC kicks major ass

Yeah im just playing with ya, but yeah a 800mhz FSB will give you lots more juice plus Hyper Threading is uber cool with lots of ***** going on at once. Plus you could dig up a motherboard with all the good stuff like SATA, RAID, AGP x8, ATA/133, 800mhz FSB and Gigabit and you should be pretty future proof til PCI Xpress and DDR2 start to settle into the market.

The Monthly world, daily struggle!
I am trying to talk my wife into letting me spend 500 to upgrade my PC. The upgrade plan is as follows:
Asus IC7 Mobo - Supports the Prescott P4 800Mhz FSB
P4 2.8E which I plan to overclock the ***** out of.
2 more Western Digital 120GB HDD to give me a total hard drive space of 480GB, of course RAID'd together for optimal performance. I also have a spare 20GB hard drive I may through in there just for the hell of it.

Cool sounds good, I have a 2.8Ghz Prescott and have succesfully clocked it at 3.4Ghz. The 1MB of L2 cache is good for all your encoding needs =)

I have been pretty happy with my box so far, but as most know we are never satisfied and i am already looking into getting a new box started up.
I am always going to stick with the AMD processors, because i have never had a problem with them, just have to have a little more air moving.
