If his board is a SLI board, I demand you take your 7900gt out of your computer, put it in his and run some 7900gt SLI benchmarks .

We both dont have a SLI mobo, although we both played with the idea for just the benchmarks.

Ah well

I have a friend with the exact same laptop (very simlar specs, not sure of the model number though for the laptop). He took it to a lan I had with about 11 other friends that we had at another friend's dad's office block, where mobile phone servers are kept (they have a lot of sun spark servers and corprate machines, rather noisy office though , lot of sound proofing thankfully is installed in the server rooms, however there was a server in the kitchen o_o).

The only thing I would change is the motherboard (975X so I can use Conroe chips in future), plus dvd burners are so cheap these days you masewell get one (My one only cost me $75 AUS). Other then that seems like a pretty good all rounder pc.

Edit: A bios update is to be released for nforce4 intel edition to support conroe chips, so disregard what I have said above in relation to motherboards/chipsets.

Overlord, this thread isn't a suggestion thread. If you have advice, a personal message is for you, assuming you know how to operate that. If you have a problem with this post, contact someone higher than me or request another MCA, whatever suits you.

 

[Cap J]

Pentium D 2.66Ghz
Abit A8WD 975x
2GB G. Skill DDR2 RAM
Powercolor Radeon X800GTO 256MB

Thanks Overlord for your recommendations.

I have upgraded once more to add a 939 board and an Athlon 64 X2 dual core processor to the mix.

Holy ****... I finished building this thing, and it is fast as hell!!!!! I've never seen a PC this fast in my life, especially with his 6m Comcast Cable internet.

Oh, btw NEWEGG CAN KISS MY ASS!!!! Them stupid ****ers messed up the shipping, and my cousin's mom (my second cousin) called up newegg and rose hell about it. So in spite of that, they didn't ship it out for 3 weeks.... then she finally got it, IN FLORIDA, and had to ship it to us in MICHIGAN!

****ing asshats!



Im done....
