GeForce versus Radeon

[nwo75200]

Don't spring for an alienware becase they will rip you off. I recommend ibuypower.com because they have very good deals, and very good systems, while alienware just plain rips you off because of their name, image, and design which is unmatched.

Which system do you plan to put the 6600GT in? If you want to put it in your current rig then you will need the AGP form that I posted earlier, if not then get a PCI-e version.http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...121-178&depa=0 I have heard very good things about this perticular 6600GT, it is said that it has extraordinary OCing capabilities

Ya, I've usually been against Alienware, along with Dell etc, mainly the whole rip off deal has seemed unaviodable if you buy from them. But I found this:

-P4 530 w/ HT 3.0 GHz 1mb Cache
-Intel 915 Chipset
-GeForce 6600 GT
-1 GB Ram

for only $1,100, I understand I could build the same for about $700 probably, but is that little worth my time and how easily I could screw it up? lol

I also checked out the ibuypower.com site and the deals are amazing, but it seems that I can't find a good combination of what i need.

o wait, lol nvm!

Ya i would rather buy from ibuypower than alienware u get more for ur money, unless u build, but between alienware and ibuypower, id go with Ibuypower

[Serani]

any suggestion between P4 and amd?

[pphalan]

AMD is better hands down

[Serani]

any other opinions?

[Serani]

njolakoski, does the systems from ibuypower.com come pre-assembled?

[Serani]

another question for njolakoski, what do you suggest for a Pentium based motherboard?
