| 723523 | 2008-12-27 12:42:00 | Im ordering every thing before the 31st, but have no idea weather to go duo core or quad core any more. Help me decide. For gaming. Budget was... 300-400. E8400 $319 CL(computer Lounge) E8500 $350 CL Q6600 discounted Q9300 discounted Q9400 $473 OCZone $537 CL Q9450 discounted Q5500 $624 OCZone $646 CL Would like to upgrade CPU in 2+ years time. A Q9550 is going to high, which out of the 3? With i7 Cpu's with 8 cores it makes me even more to get a quad, as games will even more likely to benefit from more cores better then before with a lot more cpus with a lot of cores that they have on the market. I just dont know what to get! Well who knows what will be available 2 years from now in the way of a cpu? I might add that you might be still dithering around that time. It is now a month since you first posted your new PC build. |

I just dont know what to get! I've told you before. Either any of those duals, or Q6600 or Q9450. Don't bother repeating the same question over and over again. |

| 723525 | 2008-12-27 23:25:00 | Gonan do with E8500 overclock the siht out of it, as quads atm cost to much. Whats the point in spending the cash now for a Quad when i might as well spend $50 more and get a i7. And sooner or later im going to have to upgrade my quad to a i7 cpu so that extra money for a quad over a Duo core is wasted. | James281 (13409) | ||
| 723526 | 2008-12-27 23:35:00 | I'd like to introduce a concept to you. It's called life. You can ask for advise and help in life, but at the end of the day you have to make your own decisions. If you make a mistake, it's purely your own. So take a deep breath and take responsibility for your own choices. There are plenty of guides for computers on the net, which I'm assuming you haven't read. The net is full of resources which you shouldn't expect for us to read and condense on your behalf. Feel free to ask questions if you can't find any answers, but make sure to look first. Otherwise you're going to get a very cold reception here. As you have begun to find out. |

| 723527 | 2008-12-29 09:54:00 | Wondering if someone could tell me if this is this True? A majority of 22" pc monitors use a 16:10 ratio with a resolution of 1680x1050. They use a 16:10 because it is better to view web pages, documents and playgames as this ratio gives more vertical height over a 16:9 ratio. It is more prefered to play games at a 16:10 ratio over a 16:9 ratio because showing more vertical height is more better looking over a long horizontal look with a smaller vertical height. Theres only a very small number of 22" 16:9 1920x1080 monitors because there main puppose is to be used to watch HD movies, to give the effect of being a tv or be more of a media home theatre monitor. So anything that is typically used for TV side of things will run better on 16:9 as you get true full screen. You loose vertical height but gain horizontal width. which is more favourable for these uses. What I wont to know is, is a 16:10 ratio better then a 16:9 ratio for gaming? |
