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?
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?
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?
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?
