What is the question exactly?

**bigdawgfoxx** · 11-09-2003, 05:20 AM

If u got alot....the Intel system is better...if you dont have a lot of money...the amd system is also really good..

**abu_has_the_power** · 11-09-2003, 05:41 AM

r u building this or buying it? if so, where?

**clocker** · 11-09-2003, 05:46 AM

I still don't get it.

Is this a comparison?

If so, it's hardly a fair one.

You could take the AMD based system and use the $800 price difference for upgrades and kick the Intel's ass.

Edit: BTW, what the hell is an "aluminum plated" case?

**abu_has_the_power** · 11-09-2003, 05:49 AM

i have that case, although not "aluminum plate". it's a really good case.
4 only 646, that's really good. where r u getting this from?

Abu does your case have fittings for 5 case fans or 7?

The specs differ in the two sites I saw.

Swap your fx 5900's for 9800 pros - these shit all over geforces - even the 5900 ultras. You can also clock them into XTs - over twice the performance in HL2
