Getting My New Computer

Hey all

one of my belated christmas presents was an upgrade fro my 2 year old computer. Im moving from a small entry level pc to a more advanced dream level pc, and that means i will have more resources to work on my aqua hobbies.

See ya around,

What athlon runs at 2.8 ghz? :blink:

#92834

2.8 ghz athlon :P lol he must mean the 2800+

#92897

Yup, there are no 2,8GHz athlons. Only overclocked.

Btw, why on earth would you buy fx5200? It sucks. Unless you're not a gamer.

I also upgraded for Christmas. From a 650 MHz PIII to a 2.6 GHz P4 (with HT and 800Mhz FSB). Not the best mobo in the world but it supports what i need.

well the fx5200 has served its purpose many times in tight spots with some of my games and it has proven to be a very worth my money card. the processor is the 2800+ (although i could have sworn the box had a big blue star that said 2.8!) and the motherboard is from what i heard, top of the line brand new with the nvidia chipset so it will run smoothly with my nvidia card. i wasnt expecting this at all, the first thing i am going to do is start making some programs and then having a lan party!

only 2 days to go
