You bought the soyo package?

 

yah, good find :thumbup:

 

www.pricegrabber.com (go to computer section)

www.pricewatch.com

Newegg was too expensive last time I checked.

 

AMD is better.....Intel ditched the P4 design

 

:slap: no they didn't.. intel went to a smaller, faster 90 nm process for the P4

 

If you go for AMD, don't get anything less than a 2400 chip.

As for p4... Not sure. The only p4 I've had a lot of experience with is my dad's shuttle system. He's got a 2.8 in there. But it's hard to gauge the performance since he uses the onboard video. It lags when I load Diablo2, but I'm sure that's only the fault of the video chip.

The debate rages forever on amd vs. intel, but really they're both good and will do what you want em to pretty well. sometimes one can outperform the other and vice versa. but they're both equally good.

As for good deals I can only suggest what's been suggested. newegg or fry's (outpost.com) or pricewatch.

 

great deals and speedy service
and sometimes free shipping

i found some better deals at frys and BB but if it werent for them id buy all my stuff from newegg

*****

 

Um it came today. :eek3: Now that's speedy service! Now just gotta get me one a dem XP 2500+ for $87 from newegg, drop in 512 of Crucial PC2700 RAM from my other comp, switch over the vid card and we're good to go. :thumbup:

 

Oh.....nice, hows the case design? I'm now regretting not going with that deal, the price shot back up.
I need to be more impulsive.

 

The quality is great. Right now I have a case that I pulled off the shelf from a local computer store. Paid $85 for it with the 350 watt power supply and the quality is not quite as good as this new Chieftek Dragon. I haven't opened it up yet to put anything in it yet.
