[RedDragonX]

Judging you got your stuff from Scan, you payed £117 inc for a 9800GT?

LOL.

4830 = Cheaper/Faster
4850 = SLIGHTY higher in price/lots faster.

I'm willing to bet you only play Mir on that.

 

[Warlock]

This is the new setup im buying and adding the dual fan to the heatsink for a massive OC on that E8400 ( hoping for 4.2GHz / 4.3GHz )

Lol no. I rarely play games. I use the machine as a CAD workstation (Im a mechanical design engineer).

I use a nVidia Quadro FX1700 instead of the 260 for 99% of what I do, but I figured I mite as well get a decent general gfx card to go with the rig as I do a lot of promotional stuff using various image/video editing packages too, and yeah, incase I decide to play games.

I play mir on my laptop lol.

 

[Bacardi]

Well, that killed the conversation.

Has anyone else tried the new Core i7 chips? I dont feel much improvement in the day to day tasks over the core 2 quad tbh. When pushed it shows though. The ram is nice too. Can open 3Gb+ CAD assemblies without the thing slowing down and I can photoquality render at 1280x1024 in less than 10mins whereas on my old E6600 c2d it would hang after 45mins lol.
