is says ddr in it i like it

YoshiSlayer · 07-2-2009, 12:27 PM

lol! ok :P

MrGiggles · 07-2-2009, 12:30 PM

It's pretty powerful, I suppose.

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

YoshiSlayer · 07-2-2009, 12:33 PM

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

I got a huge discount that my work place gives out

**Kekeb** · 07-2-2009, 12:38 PM

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

Ice wolf · 07-2-2009, 12:42 PM

It's a lot better than mine.

You're fine.

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

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.

Prime8 · 07-2-2009, 03:39 PM

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

**Mr.Nothing** · 07-2-2009, 04:40 PM

lol SATA hard drives

Solid Dreams · 07-2-2009, 07:04 PM

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.

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

edubardus · 07-4-2009, 09:31 AM

nobody needs 6gb of RAM

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?

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.

640 gigs, you can hold down so much porn

MarukuAntoni · 07-4-2009, 08:19 PM
