Upgrades Upgraded
4/10/2006I was getting ready to order all the bits for my new upgrade, when I decided to do some looking around just to confirm I was getting “the good stuff”. I found some rather surprising stuff.
Currently the Intel Core 2 Duo chips seem to be beating the AMD X2 chips hands down. And the NVIDIA GeForce 7950GX2 seems to have rather a lot of driver issues, that leaves it underperforming by a fair amount.
So I have changed what I am getting by a fair bit, and the first couple of components have been ordered.
- Intel LGA775 Pentium Core 2 Duo E6600 Processor
- Asus P5B Deluxe Motherboard
- ATi Radeon X1950 XT-X Graphics Card
- Crucial 2×1gb matched DDR2 dimms
- Tagen 600w PSU
Update: 12 Oct 2005
It’s all ordered.
