You've misread what I said (or its meaning). It supports WPA, but it's a piece of crap. I mentioned the WEP vs WPA thing as a general FYI. |
well he can always switch out minor things like that. I kept him below his $1000 limit. Thats all I wanted to do. He already stated minor switches to my list.
This should help you with picking a processor.

i picked the E8400, that will work perfect for him.
Yea, e8400 looks good to me. Look at the Phenom (AMD answer to the Core 2). Its getting spanked!! Go Intel for sure. Don't waste you time with AMD.
Seems like a good set up, i would up the proccessing power of the AMD a bit maybe a 5000+ or something, if not go for a core 2 duo... a E6600 is a good chip... cheap and runs perfect for games.

i already took care of his rig.
| superchunk said: I just looked dual core 64 bit Intel's and I'm see it starting at $125. So I can tell the price is going to much greater than the AMD setup. So, what benefit would make spending a lot more on the Intel? |
YOU wouldn't... that's the problem, they have no idea what they are talking about. You will want a good processor for floating point calculations. AMD has the better FP unit then Intel. Just make sure you get the AM2+ board so you can possibly upgrade it to a 4 core later.
Intel switches sockets like crazy, it's an upgraders nightmare...
Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
| superchunk said: Ok, so I have had the same pc for the last 5 years. It's time to upgrade. I have spent the day browsing a few sites, mostly newegg.com, and have put together something that should be good for another 5 years. Well, I will want to get more memory, but, beyond that the rest should be ok. Oh, and when it is setup for media center I will be upgrading my wireless network to N. * I will not be doing any gaming.
So, what's your thoughs? |
"* I will be watching free porn. (who doesn't)" that doesn't really matter and r u gonna record that too when u use it as a DVR? anyways, a very good price for a nice pc
Please could someone answer my question in the PC problems thread? http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=14066
