| 354711 | 2005-05-13 08:04:00 | Hey, Ive decided to go with one of these 2 cpu's for my next pc. Is the 3500+ really worth the extra $$? And also, how does the 3500+ compare to a 3200+? i.e is the performance noticable or is it something I wouldnt miss. Also, is nforce4 the way to go? or is nforce3 ok? Cheers, Luke. |

| 354712 | 2005-05-13 08:12:00 | NForce 4 if it fits your budget. Haven't taken any notice of any comparisoms between the chips. | Murray P (44) | ||
| 354713 | 2005-05-13 08:18:00 | Nforce 4 boards are around the same price as Nforce3 boards now,Cant go wrong. As for the Cpu's, neither will Bottleneck your system so the difference will be hard to see, I wouldn't spend extra on teh CPU if it means skimpy elsewhere on power,features or quality,but if your budget covers it then all the power in the world can't hurt. What else is going into your system? The system i built up yesterday used an Nforce 4,3000 930 cpu,a gig of ram and a 6600gt Extreme version,...it trucked along beautifly, It nearly got embarresing when I took the payment but wouldn't let the customer near the comp...... Muhahahahaha. |

| 354714 | 2005-05-13 08:23:00 | Well ive got $1200 + GST to spend on a Box, as I would rather spend the money on a higher speced PC than an LCD monitor. I would like: AMD 64 3200+ or 3500+ Gigabyte or Asus Mobo 1 gig ram Dvd writer (dual layer) Graphics card Floppy drive 120gig HDD Case + PSU Another point, at this point in time should i go for pci-e or normal agp x8? |

| 354715 | 2005-05-13 08:27:00 | Also, a graphics card isnt too important to me as Im not into gaming. | hsv-b0y (5210) | ||
| 354716 | 2005-05-13 08:28:00 | PCI-E,if only for future proofing and because of price, PCI-E cards tend to be cheaper. $1200 bucks wont go far. |

| 354717 | 2005-05-13 08:34:00 | Well I'm not the one paying so Its all Ive got :( It will get a system that will be alot better than what i have now. I may look at a 3200+ with venice core and over clock it to 3500+ speed. |

| 354718 | 2005-05-13 08:48:00 | Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 Motherboard, $176.28 Athlon64, 3200+ (venice core), $343.84 Seagate 120gig SATA HDD, $138.99 Floppy drive, $21.73 Samsung Dual Layer Dvd Writer, $111.28 2x Geil Value Ram, 512MB, DDR400, $205.60 Radeon X300SE, $130.52 Total, $1128.24 That was priced on Ascent, so some things i could get cheaper locally. Any comments? |

| 354719 | 2005-05-13 08:54:00 | Floppy drive, $21.73 No biases or whatsoever, but do you really need a FDD? Cheers :) |
