dude, you heard of <A href=´http://www.razorprices.com´ Target=_Blank>razor prices</a> - do a search for what you want, or browse. they have a database of shops and prices across Australia - it´s dirt cheap, cheaper than e-bay! i got a digital camera last week which was only $450 and not $650!!!!!! <b>i stole the cookie </b>
A good gigabyte motherboard

Again, it depends upon what you want it for. Gaming (Speed)? Features? Other?
-
mainly for gaming, and it just has to have the basics, mainly on board sound, usb etc. on board graphics isnt needed, since i will be getting a radeon 9600XT card for it.

GA-8KNXP, that´s about the best P4 Gigabyte board. used it q a few times. can´t fault it. Prefer MSi and A-Bit though... <i><b>..how I dearly wish I was not here.. </b> </i>

thanks taw!!!
-
my pleasure. <i><b>..how I dearly wish I was not here.. </b> </i>

An MSI board all the way....also go with an AMD athlon processer...seems to be more reliable than a P4...maybe it is just me but i run an AMD and it is a really stable setup...and make sure the board you get supplies an 8X agp slot....all the good cards coming out soon are going to be ate up in the 8X agp...<img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> "To live is to die....but living is to die slowly..why waste time on trivial things just play as hard as you can"

I´m very pleased with my MSi board. <i><b>..how I dearly wish I was not here.. </b> </i>

Those "Neo 2" MSI MBs are supposed to be good, especially with their "passive overclocking", but I think I´ll go for a ABIT next time I upgrade.
-
i got the Neo2 ´cos the supplier hadn´t got any Abit IC7s in, but I´m glad I did now <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <i><b>..how I dearly wish I was not here.. </b> </i>
-
Ah, I thought so. Does the "passive overclocking" feature do much for you in terms of performance?
-
it seems to even out performance (so far) although, being circumspect, I have it on a fairly low setting. It´s worked fine so far on demanding games like X2 and C&C:Generals, and Call of Duty runs like a dream. As games get a bit more demanding, I´ll start to up the settings a bit and see what gain I get. I´m not convinced it´s really even breaking sweat yet. Maybe when push comes to shove, it might be a load of cr*p, I dunno? <i><b>..how about getting me off these antibiotics.. </b> </i>
-
It´s supposed to have a "safety feature" that prevents it from going too far. Still, I guess that experimentation is the way to go.
-
ok now i need some advice on Brands of memory which is better?
-
I swear by Corsair RAM, gets the thumbs up from most who use it. I haven´t heard of anyone whose had a dodgy stick yet.
-
ok well is it combatible with gigabyte boards?
-
Don´t worry about compatability, you can stick RAM in any board wihtout grief.
-
ok thanks mustang Edited by - danclark20 on 6/12/2004 9:46:47 PM
