flanker, i see you are using a 500W PSU i already have 600W so i guess i'll be fine..yay

 

[Flanker]

What brand is your 600W PSU?

And the system that I just designed is better than TheOtis's system (no offense TheOtis, just a fact ).

 

[Xardas]

i'm using echostar PSU..have no idea wheather thats good or not lol. also can anyone please explain to me please why the new AMD processors like 64 3700 is actualy slower then the older models?


AMD 64 3700 = 1GHZ
AMD XP 3200 = 2.2GHZ

how can that be?

 

[Xardas]

oh i get it ..its 2.2 GHZ as well.... the price is awesome

 

[Flanker]

Yes, and the Athlon 64 3700+ @ 2.2Ghz is MUCH faster than the Athlon XP 2.2Ghz.
