Hello
I have just brought a system consisting of:- Amd athlon 64 r 4800 Dual core Asus A8N SLI motherboard 4Gb ddr400 ram 250Gb Seagate baracuda sata Nvidia Fx3400 PciE graphics card Liteon dual layer dvdrom Antec 550w psu Antec performance II case Can this be made to go faster? I will get this next week, but I would like to know if it can be improved. |

SteveH .... and actually, *why* would you ever want it to go faster? That's got to be the highest-quality configuration I've seen in a while... Haley |
ok, for example, would I get any additional benefit by getting another
fx3400 card and running in SLI or get a fx7800? The Asus motherboard can take a athlon 64 fx57, would this be better than the one I have brought? "Haley" wrote in message ...

Pete, maybe your ill.
That system is practically the hotest thing you could possibly buy. You would have one of the most powerful Desktops availible in the world(stock speeds wise & raw CPU power), why on earth do you seem dis content. Your systems got two CPUs for crying out loud! i struggling to keep my one cool, never mind having two. My only question is are you sure about the "fx3400" cause i've never heard of desktop GFx card called that. Check again.

Well, if speed is the order of the day, I would suggest adding a Western
Digital "Raptor" 10,000rpm SATA 36 GB harddrive to use exclusively as the C: boot drive for Windows. Then the OS would be operating lightening fast, and your applications on the 250 GB would not be slowed down when the computer accesses the OS on the Raptor drive. I set up a similar computer for a friend this way and it made a big difference. -- DaveW "pete" wrote in message ...

Sure, games that use a single processor will be faster with an FX57, but only until they bring out more games that utilise dual-core, or release patches for existing ones. This argument though is futile, as, if your main aim is gaming, you wouldn't buy a Quadro 3400. IMO the OP is a bit of a cheapskate for not getting an A8N-SLI Premium, more hard drives, and some fluffy dice to hang on his monitor. |

Hey guys!
not just talk or a troll thank you. I use Cad software for a living, (see I did not mention the name, so not trolling), and if you wish to get an email showing the invoice, I will gladly send it to you, (so just not talk). As I was saying, I use cad software, but I also play games on line (Burn baby! should give a clue without mentioning the name, still not trolling). I am not some kid boasting , I am 44, ! Yes it is a great system, that is why I brought it, but so are F1 cars, and they are always trying to make them better and faster. Every PC I have brought so far, has never been fast enough for the latest cad or games software to run at full specs, just look at cad work-stations going for £5000 +. Mine comes nowhere near that pricing. So the questions genuine. "SteveH" wrote in message . uk... "Cuzman" wrote in message ...
