| 467977 | 2006-07-04 08:31:00 | Why do some of the HTPC's around have a Pentium D processor, & what specifications should my AMD HTPC have?.......i.e. a parts list I need to consider :D | zahmad (8963) | ||

| 467979 | 2006-07-05 00:01:00 | Are you asking us for reccomendations? if so we NEED that to know your budget for what spec to suggest, like I used the 7900GTX as an example earlier, they are ~$1000 and unless you have a huge budget and want THE BEST, that suggestion is useless... CPU, MOBO, GFX Card, Case PSU, HDD, CD/DVDRW, RAM are all the parts you should need. Can you link to the Case you want? |

| 467980 | 2006-07-05 00:26:00 | My budget is limited.........I've seen overseas websites with HTPC that are very cheap (Student/Home made) and run very well..........so therfore wanting AMD on the mid-budget scale.....i.e. Socket 939 AMD.......and thus if I wanted to, I could later upgrade to Athlon X2 3800+ if required :D! *EDIT* P.S. Check out my desktop on my sig.........Is that cool or what :D ? |

| 467981 | 2006-07-05 00:46:00 | Also, if I decide to go with a 7600, Do I have to go with the 7600GS sliencer, or is it possible to fit a 7600gt in there? | zahmad (8963) | ||
| 467982 | 2006-07-05 04:29:00 | Ok, Athlon 64 3500+ $213 As far as I have seen the GT is no bigger than the GS... so you should... 7600GS $209 7600GT $333 2x 512MB @ $68 = $136 Asustek A8N-SLI nForce4 SLI $170. Total $728 (GS) $852 (GT) they are prices straight from Pricespy, so expect more to buy from reputable firms... All you need to decide is HDD size, What DVD/CD RW. By the way, the link is bad... the requested URL Could not be retrieved... |

| 467983 | 2006-07-05 06:22:00 | The link works for me.....give it a try again........and thanks for the reply :) ....... should I instead go for a 3200+ as it suits my budget?, and the reason for the 7600 silencer is becuase of the heat etc in the case..... | zahmad (8963) | ||
| 467984 | 2006-07-05 06:23:00 | ALSO: No one answered my question about why Pentium D's are more commonly used in HTPC's? | zahmad (8963) | ||
| 467985 | 2006-07-05 08:01:00 | Ok, what ever suits your budget, I just thought mid range... Oh, do you mean aftermarket HSF? they are 2 slot, what is the exact case you are looking at? that will give a better idea of space... Nope, don't work... Not sure, price maybe... Contracts... |
