pila man kwarta nimo?

buy lang what you can afford.

i'd always go for 2nd best because price fall too quickly.
wanna wait next year? the difference is almost 30-40% drop.

but really... the difference is so negligible. you wont even notice it.
like woah! seen that!? it booted 1ms faster! amazing!

if you feel like its worth the investment, yea go for Q6600.
kung games ra imu apas - better invest your money on the video card.


it's just like the same as 2-3years ago.

intel pentium - 3.2ghz vs intel core 2 duo 2.1ghz.
and the winner was ? - intel core 2 duo 2.1ghz.

think vista needs more horse power. lot more cores.

kung xp ra ka. ok na man quad lang. the difference is if you choose VISTA. thats where a lot of hogs happening.

my mother had an accident today and i have to shoulder half the hospital bilss plus the pain killers i think ill go for the core 2 duo 2.4 (ok lng ba ni na processor?) nlng T_T......

asa man ta maka palit ug E7X00 na mga processors dri sa cebu?

[vashtinone]

try E7300 C2D 2.66ghz i think.. murag naa sa pcx bro.. Q6600 is 2 years old quad core, pildehon ra na sa mga bag.o karon na 45nm procs.. for me add go for C2D only (e7x00 or e8x00 will do) u can only optimize the quad core kung multi-threaded imu application or games na gamiton.. hope this help..

@aye2som - buy the ddr2 800 ram bro.

[vashtinone]

i think intel 965 chipset support only 667/533 ddr2 ram.. or correct me if im wrong..

[aye2som]

Memory

* Four 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets
* Support for DDR2 800, DDR2 667, or DDR2 533 MHz DIMMs
* Support for up to 8 GBΣ of system memory

but in order to utilize the maximum memory.. gamit gyud ko og windows vista 64bit sa?

dli pwede ang windows xp pro?

[vashtinone]

aww support diay cya 800.. go for the pc800 bro.. same price ra man ang 667 ug 800 tingali or gamay ra deperenxa..
kung 32bit Windows lng imu gamiton mga 3.5 sumthing ra iya basahon but kung 64bit windows then ma utilize jd nimo ang 8gb-up na ram.. then mautilize sd nimo imu hardware specially ang proc kay support na pd 64bit computing... hope this will help...
