Currently im using a relatively new Apple MacPro 2.66 quad core 2gb 500gb apple computer but ive been very displeased with it, alot of bs issues that i never had to face in my computing days...i purchased it after selling a custom build i made about 6 months ago and wanted to test the waters. so my main goal is to re-sell the macpro system and build a new rig.
My last rig:
AMD Dual Core Opteron Denmark
DFI LanParty Ultra-D
nVidia 6800
2gb RAM
250GB harddrive
Creative Audigy ZS
2xDVDRW
i wasnt very satisfied with the DFI boards ive used ..alot of weird issues with Soundcards, DEP settings and alot of BSOD
just a very odd chipset or just me forgetting to set something up right.
But at any rate heres an idea of what im looking into doing if anyone can help with suggestions id greatly appreciate it.
Looking for a intel based motherboard for support for a newer Intel Dual Core CPU.
- PCI express expansions
- Graphics Card [ati preferred..but if theres a better suggestion id be open]
- Sound Card [maybe Azutech?]
- RAM
- and any advice on drivers such as video codecs/drivers, cpu drivers, audio drivers/codecs....
and woul di be best doing a clean install with XP PRO SP2 or Vista?
i was thinking of waitin gout a year before i change to vista. when its been settled..but any suggestions im up for !! thanks!!
if anyone would liek to help id greatly appreciate it
