Hrmmm well it has come time to build a new computer... So I have decided to do something new while I build a computer. To give you an idea of what I mean by "new".. I have only delt with some low end pc's in the past, but EQ did not take much to run nor did DAoC. But now that I have decided to convert to WoW, and EQ2 I need a system that could handle the games.
So the computer I am looking to build has to be strong enough for web site design, some gaming, and preferable a long time for my next upgrade. I was going to try a Pentium D 820 But I guess according to the reviews it will not run 2 cores on the Asus P5ND2-SLI, instead it runs in single core mode.
Items:
Motherboard Asus P5ND2-SLI
Processor Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz
RAM Kingston KHX5400D2K2/1G
Video Card 1 Asus EN6800XT/HTD/256M
Video Card 2 Asus EN6800XT/HTD/256M
Monitor Samsung - 19" Viewable <-- EDIT (Heh just noticed that)
Mouse Microsoft Trackball D68-00007
Keyboard K99-00001
DVD ROM Asus 16x DVDR +/- DRW-1608P2
Speakers Creative SBS560 5.1
CD-R/RW Asus 52x32x52 CRW-5232A3
Hard Drive 1 Maxtor SATA 80G 7200 6Y080M0
Hard Drive 2 Maxtor SATA 160G 7200 6Y160M0
OS WinXP Professional x64 Edition
Any ideas about these items? Pro's or cons? I have tried to find as many product reviews as possible. But almost all of them hardly list any cons to the product. Maybe someone here has had +'s and -'s for exp with listed items?
