AMD Athlon

<< < (3/5) > >>

Trinary:
I'm soon planning on getting a Socket939 A64 3200, motherboard, and 6600GT PCI-Express video card, ripping the rest of the necessary parts from my existing machine, and it will come to a bit under $500, maybe somewhat more if I get a better, quieter power supply and a super silent CPU fan or something (noise in my current machine is driving me crazy, I will be going for silence this time around).  Should be a very nice little upgrade from the underclocked (really horrendously old motherboard) AthlonXP 2500 and ATI 9600 I am rocking right now.  

ATI rocks, no question about it, I've used them for my last 4 CPUs or so and have absolutely maximized the performance per dollar spent as a result.

mosfet:
I just picked up a Hyper48 heat sink.  talk about quiet + performance!
congrats on the purchase!  I wish I could do the same.

nihilist:
AMD64 > 3500+ isn't worth it.  Price/performance ratio gets retarded.

Me, I'd go with a Pentium M + mobo + 1GB DDR.  In a mini-ATX format.  Small, fast, quiet.

mosfet:
Still not cheap tho.
Pentium-M's are still rather expensive.

nihilist:
Pentium M 745 (1.8GHz) - $400 CDN
DFI 855GME-MGF motherboard - $350 CDN
OCZ PC-3200 DDR400 Enhanced Latency 1GB - $223 CDN
Antec Lifestyle Overture MATX case - $132

One sweet fast quiet system: $1270 CDN (with 15% GST/PST tax - for Ontario residents)

Figure $900 US (conversion and no pesky taxes).  Not bad at all.
