Gah. Ok, what's the best CPU for under $300? What Mobo would you put with it? I am going to buy a CPU/Mobo/PSU/Memory/HD. ( I will keep my 7800 GTX until the new crop of cards comes out) I don't want to spend a ton of money. I guess I will go with Vista (I just threw up a little in my mouth). I have an MSDN license, so all MS software is free to me, I just hate Vista. Oh, and will I notice 4 gig of ram over 2 gig at this point? |
Is that $300 for the whole lot or $300 for the CPU? Some things to consider. No SLI for Nehalem (Core3) CPUs - Intel/Nvidia scuffle. Furthermore its a dead end upgrade patch with LGA775. AMD Southbridge 700-750 has built in overclocking for the black edition phenoms. |
thatsmt true, Intel would be stupid not to want to make money...I hope its not true either as I want w/e GPU is out when those CPUs are released. Plus Intel cant stop nVidia's partners from licencing SLi and Nahalem technologies and using them at the same time. lol |
Intel can and so far has stopped Nvidia production of a compatible chipset for the Nehalem processor. No chipset = No SLI. So that makes AMD graphics much more enticing now doesn't it? (If you want more than one card)
Also Intel is killing overclocking on their cheaper Nehalem varient so if you want overclocking in the future it will have to be AMD.
