789323 2009-07-06 02:11:00 I just update a mate form AMD duron @ 1Ghz to the E5200.....slow clock on @ 3Ghz was too easy....

Unless its the Phemon II, I'm sticking with Intel, just wait for Lynnfield! Cheap Nehalam!

Would you do a mild OC on a PC you're selling to someone for home use?

789324 2009-07-06 02:19:00 For mid range either the Phenom 2 or the E5200

How much are the mainstream i5's and i3's going to cost?

Well, I deem a mild OC has not having to increase vCPU or use After-Market cooling....so, a simple 240 from 200 FSB is too easy not to enjoy the added 500Mhz....I guess the answer is yes!

789327 2009-07-06 03:03:00 Ive just upgraded my system and put a 7750 in. Thought about going down the Intel path but decided to put more money into a HD 4890 which is a massive improvement over my ati 1950 pro that i used to have. Barnabas (4562)
789328 2009-07-06 03:53:00 Is it just me or has no-one realised that the 7850 is about 5 more expensive but has better clock speeds etc.

Also, on a side note...
That System tunez made is alright, however i could probably make one better for 1200.
Should i start getting prices just to see if i can beat him?!?!

EDIT: The prices have dropped again on 7750's

Please note this system has 640GB of HDD in a Raid0 array(correct me if I'm wrong but this is the proformance enhancing one)
and this has 4GB of Ram.

Offtopic a bit, but does all of that really weigh less than 5kg?

No, its on topic, Thankyou for correcting me on this.
Just add another $9.88 and it should be fine.

789332 2009-07-06 05:04:00 Those 7750's sure are priced right. Especially since a 3GHz OC is easy, by all reports. Unlocked mult helps. linw (53)
