Just pretend I have a failing motherboard. (Because I'm going to assume that, since I need a new one anyways)
I'm planning on getting a socket 939 Motherboard and Socket 939 Processor (Makes sense, huh?) UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED BY YOU GUYS.(You guys seem to know more about computers than I do.)
Here are the possible prospects for my new rig:
1) AMD Dual Core Processor 2.4/2.2
2)I'm pretty much set on this motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813136159) UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE.
Ok, now here are where the main questions are..
1)Denmark, Manchester, Toledo, which one is best? (processor cores)
2) a 2.2 processor is 30.00 less than a 2.4, deal or no deal?(219.00, or 249.00)
3)Are there motherboards that have both AGP/PCI-E slots? Because I have a new X800 AGP..... :[
4)I guess I'll need to pawn my x800, but after that what video card should I get? I want an ATI Crossfire brand, with good price..
What are Pixel Pipelines?
Is there much difference between 12 PP and 20 PP ?
What about the Core clock? 425-475, any difference?
Whats more important, Memory size or memory interface?
Instead of getting an X1900GT, would it be better to get 2 ( Insert video card here)
5)Instead of getting 2 cards, what would be good to get now?
5)Any suggestions on a new rig?
I have about 500.00 dollars to spend (thats all I have in my bank) If I don't have enough, I'll just save more..
Thanks in advance!
