I'm looking to build my first computer, and I pretty much know what I want. I plan to get the amd 3200 chip, and a pci-e board. I'm confused on what would be a good buy. I was thinking about mabey trying to OC, so any suggestions would be great
either get the dfi lanparty or the abit an8 both good mobo's bit expensive though. I would get the abit one just cuz it has the otes (outside thermal exhaust system) you can get either one for about $140 let me know what you end up getting
I should of also mentioned that I was thinking about going with a SLI capable board. Does anyone use SLI with two gpu's? I've been wondering if its all its cracked up to be
I have the A8N-SLI board with dual 6600GT's and an AMD 64 FX-53 processor... With 3DMark 2003 I received a mark of around 14000 points, however I haven't run the test with only one video card yet. For a good idea on the differences, check out these links:
I was running on the standard settings on the non-pro version of the program, you can't even change them. I think something like 1024 X 768 res and no aa/af. But if my rig scores just below an FX-53 with dual vid cards then I'm happy.
