Okay, since my sli crapped out on me.. i've decided to build a new rig all together... yes i know its a horrible time to build, but i guess i don't really care for conroe too much right now, what good could it really do for me... it really all depends on circumstances, but i guess i'll keep it as an option, buy my motherboard last.
I will present you with a few scenarios of what i should do, or what i want to do as well
As you know my 7900gt's are up for sale (sorry i put that up with a link on the buy/sell/trade part). And with that, i'm planning on getting a 7900gtx (later to go sli) and a new mobo.
And with that here are the scenarios
I scrap my comp now, throw it to my parents as the "family comp" And if i do so should i stick to socket 939 so i can keep the ram, save me some sort of money. Or should i just jump over to am2 since the option is there... i'm willing to spend alot more money on my computer this time now that school is coming to an end, and i no longer have school expenses. If i do go am2, i see myself buying some pretty expensive ram to overclock like crazy (ddr 900!!!!!) i can also keep my hdd and buy my parents a little small 60 gig or something.
Or, i can just sell the 7900's and build a really crap computer, to wait it out, just to have internet access and get buy with my cs source. Maybe wait for conroe, or to see what am2 has up their sleeves.
The 3 possible rigs i want to set up would be here:
Socket 939 Rig
DFI Sli-DR
7900 GTX
250 gb hdd (already have this one)
opty 165 or 170
1 gb ddr 500 ram (have that one too)
Everything else i already have for that set up
Socket 940 am2 rig
MSI K9N Platinum
7900 GTX
1 GB DDR900 (2x512)
4000+ X2
for a crap computer.. i don't know, you can imagine what that is... 3200+, 6600gt, horrible mobo... you get the idea?
