people with computer knowledge help me!

[scottishbmxer]

right, am getting a custom cpu soonish(1gb ram, 200gb harddrive sort of thing)

so, it comes with a AMD 64 Bit 3000+ Processor. now will that be good enough to play games with, or would it be in my total best intrest to save a bit more and get a pentium 4 prosessor?

How many GHZ? Ghz and Ram are what you need for games.. Also a good graphics card and an audio card. :)

Which one of these (if you see it)?

if AMD runs too hot then get another fan or better heatsink fan or just open your case and run a room fan on it. leave your window open slightly at night and close it during the day, keep that room cooler than other rooms.

id go for the pentium 4 and its great, i use to have a amd on my old comp and it wasnt as good as p4

[ps2guy123]

P4 HT extreme...great for games...im not an AMD person...

A good gaming PC revolves around ONE specific item. Your video card. THE most important item in the PC. Spend your money on that.

I just built two Gaming PCs at the house, and while AMD is a close second....I would still recommend a P4 processor. Make sure the Motherboard has HT technology, and supports dual channel memory. If you really want to make sure you get it all.....get a motherboard with the new PCI express slot for your graphics card.

I am running a Radeon 850 Pro on a PCI express slot.

Video card, video card, video card.

P4 with HT is much much better than AMD. But yeah trimix is right. Get a good video card. Good RAM helps to.

[PArider]

some times HT sucks for games but other times its awesome its a love hate relationshipp.

and then there's Over Clocking.. have fun lol

You guys are complete idiots.A amd 64 3000+ will run cooler than a p4.I have one right now.It was air cooled and running at 45C.Now water cooled it runs at 30 C.So gg thanks.The 3000 is a much better buy it terms of perfomance.IT definately will save you money too.

AMD 64 3000+ is a 1.8ghz if your looking at the shit i was looking at recently...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103536

if you know what your doing and have the cash build it to over clock get the MSI k8n neo 2 platinum mobo from newegg.com too... those too coupled will get that fu cker up around 2.4-2.5ghz get the venice if your mobo can take the one i linct to... i'm personally going with the:

MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM ATX AMD Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130468

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Integrated into Chip FSB Socket 939
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103536

sexy with all the other shit it all depends at the time of purchase wheter i have the cash to go with a 2.0

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice 1GHz FSB 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103535

but i'm a geek and my rig will be titties...



O, and i almost forgot... P4's are schit amd's don't overheat and are EASILY the best for gaming... just learn how to properly cool your pc and overclock for that extra bang. but even without OC they're better than P4's

you sound exactly like one of my friends lol

[Gyi2os]

Meh,

i was just trying to point out how the processing capabilities of the AMD are superior to those of the P4, intel is simply behind the times when it comes to processors for optimum proformence... lol...
