Thanks..Ultra90 barely fit into my board and want to get Ultra120? wont even fit man..haha

those people that buy a LGA775 mobo with AGP and DDR slots are just wasting their hard earned money.

thank you very much goldfries some people just don't know when to keep their mouth shut.

i thought ultra90 and ultra120 have the same height. Just checked, the height different is 15mm.

hehe...just wanna ask...how long u will hold on on ur socket 478 before u gonna turn into dark side?? quite tempting seeing ur guy's spec ... hehe ... if i'm gonna buy new rig...it only will happen after 3 years.... (government loan) only can make computer loan once after 5 years ...hehe

i will answer to that. He will stick to his current rig until:

1. When the darkside becomes lighter, when the cost is getting lesser. As we all know, new C2D and chipsets/hardware line ups are coming soon with attractive $$$. Imagine a year down the line.

2. Technology is still moving too fast and vista+dx10 is just out. DX10 hardware mid-end not launched yet. Wait until tech stabilizes a bit.

3. When he raises enough funds for the new rig. Now many things on hold due to work and other stuff.

Me & kabukiawie have been monitoring tech for long time now, and we practice 'Buy only when neccessary'. Our flow of income cannot match the flow of technology updates. Impulsive buying is not a good financial practice. But still, we love tech!

hehe....nice reply...i like that quote 'Buy only when neccessary' hehe.... have to satisfy for what u have rite now .. when the timing is rite...go for kaw2 setting... hehe..

yes, definately. go kaw kaw settings (i would go for moderate 'best performance-price' items) when time is right. Consider this:

Why you need c2d or X2 when you only do surfing, office work, and watching anime, burning cd/dvd? Any P4 rig or celeron, sempron, athlonxp would do the job nicely, even a duron and P3. Planning and 'lust' control is essential for budget concious consumer. Maybe upgrade speaker or widescreen LCD is better for these level of consumers.

But, if $ is not an issue for us, i would say, Why Not? Go 4 It~!

yeah...agree with u....only hardcores know what they want and what they need....luckily i'm not that hadrcore .. just like to know bout new tech ... my 478 will serve me for another three years ... have to take good care of it... hehe...

Actually nobody doens't want the C2D,it's just the $$ problem only.And yet i agree that buy what you feel neccessory as the tech is growing daily.

haha, yea, right. i wont move to darkside so soon. Now i just see hows the technology settle down like multicore cpu, ddr2/3, dx10 gc, vista etc. ofcoz, $ is the main factor stopping me from migrating. I admit that i am not a hardcore user. i even seldom rip dvd on my system. As long as it can serve me well. I wont mind use it for another 1 year. Now slow slow kumpul $.

Anybody know where can I get this P4 S478 3GHz 800Mhz FSB?In Low Yat maybe? I wanna buy one la. Is there any stock in Low Yat recently? Anybody got info?

LYN Garage Sale would be the place to source for it.

put up a [WTB] thread and in fact, put it on your siggy too. that's how i get my stuff to be noticed.

Same with me,later in future we will afford to get the better one than current C2D. Between,on current spec with o/c little bit might be good enough for play light weight games like CS.

yeah and if i got teh ultra120 it'll be sticking out of my casing and it'll hit my nb heatsink too


gonna turn to the darkside once intel slashes it's prices on those C2Ds
and that rig will last me another 4 years

i saw the tech changing so fast. Now even have some news for ddr3, multicore etc. vista still not a must to upgrade. So better stick with 478 lo. haha....Thats what i think.

easy, just potong a hole and let ultra120 have fresh air outside the case.

another 4 years?? maybe 10x core already lo. haha

dont have the proper tools to do that man become like those crazy air intakes on those cars?

well my this rig survived for 4 years already.with dual core and 2gb ram shoud'nt be a problem to last another 4 years.with some upgrades lah of course

in the end, money matters.

haha..... if kena strike 4d 1st price then i will consider migrate.

have think of upgrade my gc...hehe. think only.......

Kena 4D is hard,always depends on luck one.I also never kena 4D before. If got $$ sure will get new rig man,migrate to the drakside.

my car number kenak twice last year, once in 4D once in toto, but i never buy....

Anyway, P4 is still vastly used in offices and home. As far as productivity is concerned, we'll hardly see corporations and organisations majorly shift to new cpu/applications/OS due to the software+hardware cost involved, compatibility issues, etc. Don't fix it if it aint broke! My office using Dell machines with P4 1.7 + Winxp is still going strong for word processing, no plans for upgrades anytime soon.

So let's continue on using our P4 to the fullest. As far as power is concerned, using P4 as ultimate gaming machine might be a thing of the past. I am considering salvaging from garage sales of p4 and cheapo stuffs for building a HTPC rig. maybe can build one under RM800? But then, might as well going down the newer AMD route with the same budget? Oh my, choices, choices!

oh? going to build HTPC?? a p4 478 can easily cary d job well. Just silent the rig 1st.some stock hfs is noisy. gc try get the fanless cooling.
