1.Intel Pentium D 805 Smithfield 533MHz FSB LGA 775 Dual Core,EM64T Processor -
2.ASUS P5WD2-E Premium Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherboard -
3. Kingston HyperX 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Unbuffered Dual Channel -
these seem like three good core componet's for my third build. im getting 4 gig's of that memory listed above in 2X 1g pack's it's priced resonably.....
Im hoping this system im building will be able to handle DX10 games but i could be wrong....im also planning on getting 2 of these hard drive's...
4. Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive -
I plan on moving the swap file to the secound hard drive and increasing it to 2 gig of virtual memory for page file etc...
My main question is will the DX10 video card's although utilizing new graphical architecture....will they still be using the standard PCI Express X16 slot on motherboard's today or will they make it on a new form of mobo...i really dont know but i thought id ask....
Secoundly you might think it odd for me to pick that dual core processor that i have listed above....it goes for $128.00 on newegg.com....
the catch is im highly intrested in following after Tom's Hardware.com reveiw of this processor running at 4.0ghz per core... on water cooling....im hoping to recreate the same result's if not close...and even if i dont get 4.0ghz exactly it's still a steal for the price.
i wanted to see your guy's take on my new venture.... all in all this new system build will only cost me a little over $2,000 witch is fairly nice compared to Stock FX-60 leet gamer machin's on the market... that will cut your wallet in half with a $6,000 sword lol.....
the water cooling unit im planning on using.>
