Well as time goes on and my knowledge of computer grows by reading mags, building, and just general learning it makes me wanna go bigger and badder. Of course with that in mind a person who wants to go bigger and badder with computers generally wants to get into overclocking and more testing. Maybe for the bragging rights or just to have it if they ever need that little bit of speed to access something or do something in a split second.
Well getting to the point, my dad has been going on for about a month on how he wants to get a new computer. He would of course buy the parts and i would do the assembling but of course theres a priority list in play with adults and he found the need to buy a new truck and now a new guitar... ANYWAY! i was sittin here thinkin about an AMD machine and ways to OC my computer and i think it comes down to one thing when im stuck with the 2 storys. I think im gonna fork my computer over to my dad and build an AMD machine.
As much as i love Intel i think its time to move on. maybe for good or just for now. Who knows.
Well as for giving up my computer of course im not gonna give up my FULL machine. Mainly just the cpu, motherboard, 80GB HD, My extra 350W PSU, and the Radeon 8500 GPU i have sitting around. Well, as for the GPU i have to think for a bit because of my new comp... ill get back to that.
As for my new machine im going to go with an AMD mahine with a PCI-E MOBO so i can SLI 2x6800's or 2X6600's. Thats where i come back to give away my video card too. As you all know Video cards are a bit pricey and i dont know if i should jump to SLI just yet..
This is where you guys may help me out:
1) i need to know whats the tree of AMD CPUs. Like from 3000- latest and what each are in Ghz? as well as whats a 64 bit... just a little help on sorting out AMD's.
2) i need a PCI-E MOBO that supports AMD chips
3) which should i SLI, 6600 or 6800?
4)What kind of ram is best for OCing?
Well sorry about the ranting and thanx for reading
Cheers-
