Yeah, and they are a hell of a lot cheaper. It's a neat chip for a hair over 300 bucks. The coolest chip is the Intel Pentium Extreme Edition 840. It is dual core with HT, so it shows up as 4 processors. It is also $1200...

The cheapest AMD dual core is $950

I was originally going to go with the 915. I don't want to buy a video card at first. I want to use onboard and when I get a video card I will also get a new motherboard.

I can't afford the dual core any time in the next million years. any way. If I could wait a while until certain 3.4s get cheaper they let you drop the multiplyer if you have a board with the right bios. I think all of ASUS's new boards support it.
Any way. I will just keep on shopping untill I can afford it all. Should I invest in a video card at first or just go with onborard for a few months?

You will want to go with a video card right off the bat. If you do want to do onboard, you can go with a 915g chipset...

I guess I am going to have to rethink my whole strategy.

Well I now have a way to pay for it i like a month or sooner. I am going to get a job at Little Ceaser's or Domino's as a sign holder because it's like the only job you can get as someone who's 15. I just stand in the middle of the street with a sign and make $5.25 an hour. I will be rakin in the dough. not. but a job can't get any easier.

Blah Blah Blah... I think I will go with the 200+ motherboard when it goes down in price and just save up till I have 700+ and it won't cost that much by then. I will just go with DDR2 since it seems to be reaching the same price as DDR. how much do you think a 6800 ultra will cost in 2 month's?

Lexon Avery · Post by **Lexon Avery** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 10:07 pm

6800's suck go with the 6600..i have a 6800 and they r a pain in the ass to work with well game with.

nvidia os coming out with a new gpu like 7800 or 7600 which will beat a pair of 6800 ultra's. I will just get the 6600gt for now.

ok first at 14 you can wokrk in a store from 7 to 7 as long as it isnt risky to your health secondly standing in the road for several hours in 80 + weather

you really dont know what you are talkilng about.... at 15 you can only work like 16 hours a week... i know.. i have a JOB!!! sometimes i cant work the whole week because i get all my hours early on in the week... and i really dont think any store is going to hire a 14 or 15 year old for a 12 hour shift even if they were allowed to....
