Hey Yo,
Im interested in gettin a new machine and need your advice.
heres the specs of what I'm thinkin about.
Obviously its an Alienware product. I have a few of their machines now and really like em alot and would like to stick to them if possible.
AMD Athlon 64 FX-51 Processor with HyperTransport Technology
1GB Registered DDR SDRAM PC-3200
2- 80GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Serial ATA 7,200 RPM 8MB Cache Hard Drives
NVIDIA GeForce™ FX 5900 Ultra 256MB 8x AGP w/DVI & S-Video
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2-6.1
56x CD Rom
Plextor PlexWriter Premium 52x32x52x CD-RW
NVIDIA® Integrated 100Mb Ethernet
Alienware™ USB 2.0 32MB Flash Drive
3.5" 1.44 MB Floppy Disk Drive
Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional
Klipsch ProMedia™ GMX D-5.1 Speakers
Info on the 64 Bit Chip-
Processor AMD® Athlon™ 64 FX-51
Frequency 2.2GHz
Bus Speed 1600MHz
On-Chip Level 1 Cache 128 KB
On-Chip Level 2 Cache 1 MB Advanced Transfer
Special Features AMD64 Technology
HyperTransport Technology
Integrated Memory Controller
Gonna cost about 3,300.00
This machine will be used for gaming and surfing mostly. I have other machines for buisness and stuff.
I know I could build a machine for cheaper but ya know, I just dont have the time and I do got the money. I want a really high end machine for gaming right now for the games I am playing (planetside and a future BT upcomming game that will be real hard on the graphics)
One of my concerns is the 64bit thing. I dont really know much about it yet. Will I be able to do all the things I usually do? I know its backwards compatible and all but like I said, I dont understand that end of the chip.
PS- I know I aint got a monitor listed, I dont need one. And I dont have a DVD listed either, I dont think I have any use for a DVD rom in a computer unless its used for something other than watching DVD's on the computer which I will never do (I watch DVD's on my 65" projection TV with some unreal surround system I picked up
Any help is appreciated.
