Hey, i recently purchased a new computer and wanted to know what you all thought about it and personally rank it.
Here are the stats:

Intel® Core™ i7-920 processor(8MB L3 Cache, 2.66GHz)
6GB Tri-Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1066MHz - 6 DIMMs
ATI Radeon HD 4870 GDDR5 1024MB
640GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive
Dual Drives: 16x DVD-ROM Drive + 16x DVD+/-RW w/ dbl layer write capability

is says ddr in it i like it

Re: new computer, what do you think?
 

lol! ok :P

Re: new computer, what do you think?
 

It's pretty powerful, I suppose.

What did you shell out for it? That's the real question.

Re: new computer, what do you think?
 

paid just over $800, so over %50 off :P

I got a huge discount that my work place gives out

Re: new computer, what do you think?
 

I lol'd, because I think your bottleneck is now your hard drive.

Re: new computer, what do you think?
 

It's a lot better than mine. :(

Re: new computer, what do you think?
 

what hard drive should i look into? any suggestions?

Re: new computer, what do you think?
 

You're fine.

Anyways, $800 is a very attractive price for a PC like that. Oh, and could you tell us your motherboard, too?

Re: new computer, what do you think?
 

Hardrive is fine, however if you want to boost loading speeds a TON, get a SSHD. You could get one that's only like 60G (Very expensive), and put things like your OS and the games you play most on it so they load super fast.

Re: new computer, what do you think?
 

Dang, that's REALLY cheap for those kind of specs. Care to give some of us a similar discount? ;)

Re: new computer, what do you think?
 

lol SATA hard drives

Re: new computer, what do you think?
 

You could get a 10,000 RPM hard drive (or 2) and throw em in a raid 0, put your OS and games and stuff on those. That'll double the speed (20,000 rpm and 6 gb/s transfer speed if you get the 3 gb/s hard drives.)

Then I'd get a massive hard drive for data, but that's because I'm a pack rat and 640 gigs isnt enough in my mind.

Re: new computer, what do you think?
 

What's wrong with SATA? You think IDE is faster or something?

Re: new computer, what do you think?
 

nobody needs 6gb of RAM

Re: new computer, what do you think?
 

Yet

Re: new computer, what do you think?
 

I'm on 4GB and already noticing a tiny bit of memory lag every now and then.

I would have already upgraded to 6GB by now with an i7 processor, except that a friend of the family did so the day it came out, and he had nothing but problems, and eventually went back to a DualCore.

YoshiSlayer, not an "amazing" computer (better than my current one though), but a very good one, and definitely a great deal for only $800. Where do you work to get a discount like that?

Re: new computer, what do you think?
 

Are you high? lol.


Also I hope you have an operating system that can support over 4 gb's of ram, or half of that is going to waste. Good price though. Nice cpu.

Re: new computer, what do you think?
 

640 gigs, you can hold down so much porn

Re: new computer, what do you think?
 

way better than mine. i need to upgrade.
