looks great to me, but i'd also investigate some of the core 2 duos (if you can get your hands on one.) but with AM2 you can always upgrade with what AMD comes out with to counter conroe, so i guess it's all good.

 

[massacreinfallx]

well, if i were you i would either get the 4400+ or the 3800+ and over clock because the 4200+ has the samechache as the 3800+.

4400+ has l2 cache

 

[lancec2c30]

so in iraq will you have a higspeed connection or not.

 

[FadingTheory]

Maybe.

Overclocking isnt so much of an issue. The desert heat is not kind to such things. I'll look into it though.

ohh true. then just go with the 4400+

 

[savagenator]

if there is going to be a sand storm, you might either
1. get some crazy fans that won't let anyhting get in the computer no matter what
2. water cooling

 

[FadingTheory]

The computer will be inside, and sand free. But it will still be hot.

 

[lancec2c30]

well where at in iraq are you going?? hopefully your bunk wont take a artillery shell and frag your computer LOL

 

[FadingTheory]

Not sure yet. COuldnt tell you either.

I'll be fine though. They are HORRIBLE shots with mortars.
