Hey Soup that's a damn nice rig ya got there!
I'm guessing you're done with school and got yoself a nice cushy job?
Damn man I gotta lot of dough but with my new rig I went cheap, I guess I gotta plan on picking up a 24" lcd soon plus a 4400+ while I'm at it.
Anna Kornokova YEAH!
Thanks for the compliments!:D
I'm actually just doing a co-op term right now and finished school back in Dec. In a month's time, my co-op is over and I will be browsing the classifieds. Hehe...I had to save up two months pay for this rig, so that gives some indication of my low wage.;)
Soup you got the job done,that's all that matters. :)Quote:

I have plans to build a similar machine, but I'm having a hard time deciding if 2MB cache is worth the extra money. I'm also reading that people are going with the Opteron 165 (though hard to find) instead of the X2 variant.
Lastly, how much was the entire setup, if you don't mind such a personal question. And did you purchase this from NCIX since you're in BC.
:D
I mostly bought it at the same time but purchased the vidcard, hdd, dvd burner, and soundcard a week beforehand (on sale) at Ncix. At this time, I also bought my desk, receiver, subwoofer, and monitor. I then got the rest from A-power.
I'm not a person who overclocks so I tried to get the fastest stock dual core processor. (scared of voiding warranty) The PC and monitor was about $4K CAN. Add all the rest, it's close to $4.7K CAN.:eek:
Do you have to enter 4-8-15-16-23-42 into the computer every 108 minutes to prevent it from replacing the picture of Kate with a picture of Hurley? :DQuote:

Congrats, man...I know you've been holding off forever for this thing. Enjoy it!
Soup I gotta ask this.
If you play 3d games.Do you notice any lags during gameplay?
I am referring to your monitor.
I only notice a very slight input delay in Counterstrike. (not to be confused with ghosting) It does not bother me and isn't noticable unless I really look for it. All other games are fine.
