scuzzy47 Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 The problem is, I buy everything from someone who gets it pretty cheap, he puts it together, so my choice is limited, I'll give you his site, it's the following:EBizzpcIt's dutch, but all the terms needed are english, so maybe you can check this and give me my options, and it should be around 685 euro (the hdd, cd-rom and graphic card I already have, included) ... Owh and I don't know what PSU he'll be putting in, he only told me that for that config, I needed a 500Watt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scuzzy47 Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 Well, for the moment I'm running a system with 1.8ghz (amd athlon 2200+ xp), so I was taking a amd athlon 3500 because of the difference, I read that a 3200 gives 2ghz and a 3500 gives 2.2ghz... So buying a 3200 would give me a plus of 0.2ghz, is that worth upgrading?? Or is it actually more than 0.2ghz?And the memory is pretty expensive, does it really matter if I buy that, or something cheaper?Don't think I don't like your help, I really do, I just wanting to know more about the differences...

ripken204 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 well the 3500 runs a little faster but is not worth the price difference, get a 3200 to save moneyyou can get some cheap memory if u dont want to overclock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzy47 Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 I'm not planning to overclock no, so I'll keep it cheap, my current setup costed me 385 euro but every once in a while he hangs or shuts down, due to the heat I guess, and he's not able to run photoshop smoothly, so I'm in the need for an update, just asked here, to make sure...Thanx for your quick replies!!!Grtz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porn Loader Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I chose AMD 'cause I heard it's the best, but I'm not a gamer, so maybe Intel is a better option?

scuzzy47 Posted September 3, 2005 Author Share Posted September 3, 2005 Well, I mostly play movies on it (to watch on tv) and I do a lot of editing, html, photos, movies and stuff, but I've never had any problems with my current setup, till a few months ago, when I put more ram in it, without putting an extra (or bigger) fan in it, so I guess, that's the problem that causes my pc to shut down..I'll prolly go for amd, just because of the good experience, I heard that price/quality, amd beats intel by far....But you can share your opinion on this, so I learn stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 (edited) well if your doing that stuff then you should go intel unless you want to buy an amd dual core(3800X2) Edited September 3, 2005 by ripken204 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
