@pengster
Haha.. Wrong channel la pengster! Later u'll just make all old school user here get envy. Seriously, just go for what u need. Either I7 or Quady wont be much diff if u don't utilized its power.  What i can say is, if u going to do alot of work @ a time (multi-task) )hen Quady lo.. Casual use E8xxx series would be right the corner for u.  |

LOL.. Thats good. Quady will be enough for ur usage lo. Rmb to add more ram.
 8GB perhaps will be enough to run 100 IE/firefox tab without problems. Haha..Anywasys, Im on low budget setup now. Unable to hook up powahful E8xxx series. Currently on settting up up my own so call ultimate system for another 2-3 years "future proof".. This post has been edited by fylon: Jan 19 2009, 03:22 PM |

If your rig is classed as "low budget setup", then mine is super low budget edi 8GB perhaps will be enough to run 100 IE/firefox tab without problems. Haha..Anywasys, Im on low budget setup now.

Btw, what's the point of opening 100 firefox tab? surf prawn?  |

@ac_N1
Haha.. But I7 is still expensive. Eventhough performance is good, but not much ppl willing to fork out such a big amount of $ to buy it. So atm now, i think quaddy still the best choice in term of price vs ratio.O/t: Hehehe! 100 tabs for crab instead of prawn man. Oh yea.. Currently on low budget setup man.. Ur 8800GTS is G80 or G92? |

QUOTE(fylon @ Jan 19 2009, 11:49 AM) Heyo.. How's everyone? ic. well, i dun game much, mostly dong alot of design work and multitasking is important for me! Did not passby for quite sometimes. All ya P4 babeh doing well eh?  Seems like u guys are planning for a new year visiting in KL side eh?@~Rogue~ Ah.. Dont think there is a good move for shifting P4 proc into DDR2 and PCIE era as the will gona be a great overall bottlenecking in ur system. Just if ur not a heavy gamer and dont mind to live without DX10, 1950XT are right the corner for u.  One of the monster for AGP in DX9 era. QUOTE(Jcsy @ Jan 19 2009, 11:56 AM) just shift to new system if u have the money yeah was planing to get a C2Q, coz i wanna use dual monitor to do my work, and i sked my P4 cant support.......u got a point there! upgrading like that really painful and doesnt cut it much  |

Good idea to set up HTPC with old school P4. I think Asrock is slightly better than Biostar. |

My 8800GTS is G80. The performance is 20% lower than G92 but the price is 50% cheaper 320bit processing power is good enough for me  |
