Grabbing Credit Card Instead....

Going with an 820....I just can't see no other way

the data compiled throughout everyone's posts just seems that the 820 would be a good hardnose runner...

methinks you should wait a few months and scoop up a multiFSB Xeon when they come out. Pooowww-ahh!

[WedgeWhacko]

Damn damn damn....

Your right just noticed that in a few months I could get something better...

Back goes the credit card......guess I'll just do a quick simple sale and grab a 630 to get the server up and going.....and I'll head over and grab 3 mobo/combos and some memory cheap that should get me going steady....


Sorry for the babble....seems that someone slipped a micky in my pepsi :-/

Wedge... get yourself 3 or 4 cheap p4's at 2.8ghz, 512mbs RAM each, and a cheap Video Card in each (a GeForceFX 5200 would do fine and make them semi-decent gaming machines if you wanna LAN with them at all.. :D ). and set them for QMD's.

if you do go for the 820, I would suggest you just wait for a couple more weeks for the 9xx series. :cool:

and if you go frank's route with the extra rigs ... and aren't going to game on them, get the cheapest vid card you can find ... $17 (cdn) pci ati rages at tigerdirect.ca can be used on any mobo rather than agb or pci-x. Don't waste folding $ on anything good UNLESS you have an alternate use for the rigs.

3 p4 @ 2.8 = 1200 ppd.
1 820 @ 3.6 = 765 ppd.

get the GOOD cheap video cards here only around $4.50us Can't beat that price for NVidia AGP. but the price is probably good only until 1/1/06 they have some kind of great clearance sale going on.

LOL!

Wedge, I swear that sometimes you are reading my thought patterns. :)

I would concur with the pack and suggest either the cheaper P4's, or waiting for the multi-FSB systems out next year.
