.TuG.Bulldog Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 i am getting a tech head i know to build me a new purely gaming pc to run next to my current one. he is using a new mother board chip combo by athlon which is out next mounth supposed to be the fastest processor ever, it has a diff chip set apparently. does any one know anything about it?? also any other ideas for by build? ie. which mother board is the best, shall i "raid" 2 7.200 hard disks or is it worth getting a 10.000 speed, should i go for athlon over pentium even though the athlon is faster, and any advice is welcome (try to keep it to less than 10 pages Tantalus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.TuG.Beaver Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Personally - I would do the following: Get the new socket 939 pin Athlon FX53 chips & mobo's - you might even want to wait a little while and get one with PCI Express and get a new 6800 PCI Exp GFX card too. The current 753 pin athlon is going obsolete. As for the HD's - I would get 2 74GB WD Raptors 10,000 & put em in a nice raid configuration - talk about fast.
