February 22, 200422 yr Hi guys I need your help!Finally after 5 years working with a PIII 500mhz it's now time to get a new one.It will be mainly used for FS though ;)What do you suggest? price isn't important :-hahGF FX? or ATI Radeon?Pentium 4 or AMD?I hope you guys can help me!Greetz,Evert
February 22, 200422 yr Price isn't important, hmm?Well then, buy the most expensive stuff ;)Seriously, I guess I'd have to recommend an Intel HT processor. I've read though (and I can tell from experience) that the newest cpu's aren't yet worth the price - there isn't that much difference in performance. You can't go wrong with the original 3.2HT I guess. (Unless of course, you want to get a 64bit CPU.) The same seems to hold true for graphics boards - the ATI 9800XT and the Nvidia 5900fx-whatever are, from what I've read, not much better than the "old" pro/ultra versions. But I'm not sure about memory, you might have to buy the XT for 256mb.I'd say a quick harddrive is important for FS. So ultimately, I'd go for a 10000rpm one. -Daniel
