Finally...from Intel to AMD

[harish_21_10]

I have been using my p3 sys with a 815e motherboard for about 3 to 4 years
but on 21th october i finnally got an AMD that i wanted,ofcourse for gaming,so wanted to share it with you people out here and wanted to know how good is my pc.Here it goes:

1.AMD Athlon64 3500+ Rs.12500/-
2.Asus A8N-E Rs.6200/-
3. 1GB (512x2)Kingston DDR 400MHZ of RAM - Rs.5900/- for whole 1gb
4.XFX GEFORCE 6600GT,256MB,DDR3 ,two dvi output,tv-out - Rs.12500/- with farcry dvd bundeled
5.Segate 120gb SATA - Rs.3850/-

Intel to AMD ? - Welcome to the club.

That's one cool rig you have there. Great gaming rig, no doubt. The performance difference (up from Intel815) must be mind blowing. Enjoy your honeymoon and don't forget to get some sleep.

It shows i dint make any mistake in buying my AMD machine.Any good suggestion regarding anything in my pc would help.Any tips to get the best of the pc.Tnx

 

[Ringwraith]

congrats harish..great system indeed..
have fun while it lasts
we have pretty similar systems...different being that i got an SLI mobo, 3200 winnie + 6600GT oced
i think however that u cannot overclock ur system too much, since u got the clawhammer there.
i myself have plans on upgrading to a 7800GT when the prices come down considerably...i want more eye-candy

 

[infra_red_dude]

hey man, i must say thats a perfect combination of components!!! you wont be disappointed! hope u've bought a good set of speakers.

 

[djmykey]

So how is MY NEW RIG?

Only one suggestion..get 160gb sata.The price diff is very small

 

[Ringwraith]

he's already bought his system sidewinder IIRC...
and harish to know how good your system is..u need to post benchmarks.

 

[harish_21_10]

does that card also comprise of tv tuner built ?

If talking about a TV-out then i already mentioned it my first post.And if u are asking about a tv-tuner card build in with the vid card then let me tell that no vid card has a tv-tuner built in.

he's already bought his system sidewinder IIRC...
and harish to know how good your system is..u need to post benchmarks.

Can u help me out in this.I mean what softwares to use,any settings required,etc..

 

[Ringwraith]

for graphics benchmarks www.futuremark.com
download 3Dmark03 and 3Dmark05

you could dld 3dmark01 also..although it has ceased to be a good graphics benchmark nowadays and is more of a system wide benchmark.

system (cpu/memory/hdd) benchmarks:
pcmark04/05 again on futuremark's website.
sissoft sandra ( *download.guru3d.com/sandra/ )
everest home edition ( *www.lavalys.com/ )

some more stuff to do if u havent done so already:
i) enable cool n quiet
ii) download nvidia ntune ( allows u to play around with the clock speeds, doubles up as a benchmarking/tweaking/monitoring utility)

download rivatuner ( *download.guru3d.com/rivatuner/ ) for monitoring/overclocking ur graphics card. i suggest u monitor all temperatures atleast initially even though u might not plan to overclock...

Something i shud add here is that all of them are synthetic benchmarks... u should obviously care more about real world performance + stability as compared to any benchmarking program!

bench at default settings for every program.

I dont think any additional settings are required.....Play around with the system a bit ...that should help u getting the most out of ur new hardware

Please tell the individual prices of the components especially the graphics card.

7.A beautifull Antec Sonata II cabinet with 450 watt smart power 2.0 SMPS rs7000

Can you post a pic of this? I'd like to see how a 7K box looks like. Personally, I haven't gone above 1.5K (equivalent). Just curious.

Well here is a link from AnandTech: *www.anandtech.com/casecooling/showdoc.aspx?i=2525&p=13

And here is the link from Antec's site: *www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=15138

The finishing of the case is really good and assembling the components in it is real easy thing.FEEL IT TO BELIEVE IT.

what the heck? have u never heard about ATI All-in-Wonder series? there are many other video cards that have a TV tuner built in.
