[abu_has_the_power]

ok. i've decided. i'm sticking with the asus. after reading some reviews, and feedback from newegg customers, i'm gonna get the asus.

[abu_has_the_power]

should i get as3 or as5? (artic silver thermal grease). both seem to be pretty good. and please help me pick a hsf for my budget. $20 ish.

[abu_has_the_power]

if anyone cares to respond anymore ( ), i'm buying my stuff on ebay.

if i win the bids, i can get:
-artic silver 5 for $0.99 (Buy it Now price)
-Asus p4c800 deluxe for around $80-100
-Thermaltake P4 Spark 7+ for $18!!!!
-the ram for $50-100

Sorry bigdawg, but that is just a rumor.

FWIK its a 90 nanometer microprocessor by Intel that uses a hell of a lot of wattage and has a 1 MB level two cache. I would write more right now but I am trying to finish this job for my boss. [/b][/quote]
What???? I&#39;ve thought that forever haha. Its not going to be 64bit?????? I thought thats what the new design was for...hm...

I have Artic Silver 3 and my temps are GREAT&#33;

from the reviews, i heard as3 is better than as5, but &#036;0.99 isn&#39;t bad at all for as5&#33; i prob gonna buy it

[abu_has_the_power]

UPDATE&#33;&#33;&#33;
These will most likely be the new prices for the stuff I&#39;m getting:
1. Thermaltake Highest Xaser III V1000D Super Tower for &#036;80-100 ish

2. Either ASUS P4P800 DELUXE or ASUS P4C800 DELUXE for &#036;100-120 ish
3. Thermalright sp-94 or slk 947u with 92mm vantec tornado&#33;&#33; (slk 947u will be &#036;40. If i can find a good store who sells the sp94, i&#39;ll prob get it)
4. prob same ram.


anyone find any good reviews for the sp94 that compares it&#39;s performance to the other thermalright hs&#39;s?
