how does all that look?

 

and will that video card be ready for crossfire?

[ineedhelpregularly21]

i think XTX is crossfire-ready

[brandon]

I assume you plan on reusing parts? Judging by your choice of parts, am I right?

 

Supposedly, you can get two X1900GTs and run software crossfire over the PCIe bus, with no need for any adapters, dongles, or bridges. I may be wrong though, so i'd give AMD's site a look-see.

 

If you get lucky, you may get an X1900GT that can be unlocked to an XT.

hell of a savings on the mobo, i LOVE my 16meg cache WD drive, and what the hell does if he's reusing like his dvd drive have to do with anything? lmao

[brandon]

I was merely assuming, judging by the fact that he has 2GB of DDR400, and the fact that gordesky is just so happening to be upgrading to socket 939, which uses DDR400.

 

But, what do I know?

 

That Opteron is a steal compared to the 3800+ X2, which is like $30 more. Good choice.

[ineedhelpregularly21]

Optys are good OC'ers, but i'm not an AMD man

[brandon]

Opterons are definitely good OCers. Of course you're not an AMD man Ineedhelp, you're 13.

 

You're an Intel boy.

[wdeydwondrer]

well, when getting an opteron, you normally get better than ddr400 ram, so that way you CAN overclock it a crap load.

[gordesky1]

yep im going to be reuseing the 2gb ram and maybee the dvdrw out of my current one and the psu.

 

and im gona get 2x160gb hdd to run them in raid this time:)

 

 

than im gona use my dfi that i got now as a file sever or movies:)

 

problee gona pop in some cheep 512mb ram in it and my old psu back in.

 

and with the a-data im runing on a devider right now for 2.7ghzs.

 

so im problee will have to do that with the new one not much of a big deal tho.

 

 

so will this pc be great for gaming for awile mainly the video card lol?

 

 

thats the ony reson im going to 939 because of video card upgradeable or i whould still be fine with my 250ut but its ony agp:(

 

they do have the x1950pro out for agp but 299$ which i could get the 1900gt for ony 160 lol

[wdeydwondrer]

when you push the opty's, you can really feel the divider holding you back. get some nice ddr500 ram, like ocz or something and hit near 300 w/ it. MMMM

Get Liquid Cooling above $150 so you can overclock alot higher.

[gordesky1]
