my new PC, need opinion

Featured Replies

Hey guysI see that there great hardware experts round here, i would like to know your opinion about my new PC i'm about to purchase within a week or two.I would like to know if you would change anything, take a look:- Monitor TFT 19" - CPU AMD64 bits 3500+ - MBoard ASUS 8N SLI Deluxe - 2048 DDR PC400 - HD 600GB SATA + 160GB- G.Card 2x GF6600 GT 128 MB PCI-Express SLI - Tower ATX500 W + Disk Drive- Creative 5.1 SBS 560 - DVD 16x / DVD +- RW D. Layer - Sound Board 7.1 - Mouse + Keyboard Microsoft OptimalMy Old PC was:- HD 160 GB + 40 GB- 1024 RAM SDRAM 133Mhz- ATI 9600 Pro 256 MB- ... the usual stuff...What do you think about the change?Could the new system be better?thanks in advance,Andr

Hi Andres,The new system looks fine. Two points, though:Unless you do alot of multitasking (especially with apps like high end graphics) then the 2Gb would be wasted money. 1Gb would do the trick for a gaming rig.The dual graphics cards will do nothing for this sim. FS9 is not coded to take advantage of the technology. Unless you play a number of the more recent popular games you would be better off going with a single high end card (like the 6800 Ultra or ATI X850 series).Hope this helps,Greg

thanks.I actually do lot of multitask. Sometimes like painting i do very multitask. sometimes i need to have opened FS, photoshop, A.net pics, imagetool, etc oh and windows media to listen some music while doing all this :(Regarding dual graphics, since its a new technology, maybe it will be used a lot in the future? I know FS does not support SLI tech, but i can use at least one card. And with the other PC tech's i think i can get good FPS'scheers,

Might also suggest the Athlon 64 3700+ Processor (San Diego Core) instead of the 3500+ has a 1mb Cache rather then 512kb...very little difference in price.Here is a link to newegg.com...read the reviews!Link...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103539Darryl

humm thanks for suggestion DarrylToo bad the PC is already ordered.Graphic card is not the one referred, it will be "2 x Xfx 6600 GT 256MB PCI-E"
