System Config?

[jaco_don]

I am looking for latest system configuration ...

plz tell me what stuff should i go for to build an EXTREME PC :naughty:

Either a Quad, Tri, or Dual core processor with a large L2 cache, a high RPM hard drive, 4 GB of RAM (if you're using a 32-bit OS, preferably XP), and an nVidia 8-series graphics card, preferably dual 8800s if you can afford it.

Why do I say 8-series? Because nVidia bought Ageia, the company that makes physics cards, and nVidia will bring physics capabilities to all existing 8-series cards through a simple driver update.

You'll need a quad 6600 chip link this:

http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Q6600-Q...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1211615669&sr=8-1

With about 4GB ram

Like 2 500GB HD

8800GTg graphics card:

http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-e-GeForc...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1211615744&sr=1-1

If money isn't an issue:

If you are a total newbie to building computers, it's very simple. There are instructions all over the internet for everything, and then of course there are companies that build gaming computers like Vigor Gaming, Alienware, VooDoo, and Dell.

 

[Spartan Erik]

Just FYI, Dell owns Alienware, and HP owns VooDoo.

Dell is replacing their gaming XPS line with Alienware products (soon). Their XPS line-up will become the more "aesthetic" line of computers.

This doesn't have much to do with gaming, so I've moved it to Computers and Technology for you, you'll get more reponses there.

The ultimate gaming machine would have 8GB RAM, 64-bit Vista Ultimate, 2x 1TB HDDs in RAID, a quad-core processor and 2x 8800GTX in SLI.

I'm aware of that already. Dell took over Alienware a few years ago. Not sure about VooDoo since I heard about them only a year ago.

why 4 gigs and not 8 gigs of ram ?
two 9800 GX2's & Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 (and dont tell me there is no way in hell you can have a quad-SLI setup, cuz there is) or just get one 9800 GX2 cuz two wouldnt give you that much more performance then with only one 9800 GX2

Making your own PC is one of the most fun experiences! Plus, it helps you to understand how everything works together inside a PC. It's not really hard. Just make sure the hardware will work together before buying it!

 

[componentwarehouse]

Well if money is of no object then...

Skulltrail motherboard with 2 x 2.93GHz Quad Core Intel Xeons
8GB DDR3 RAM
2 x 9800GX2 Nvidia Graphics Cards
At least a few of those Raptor Velocity drives
Couple 1TB drives for storage
Vista x64 (ultimate)

Well, you did say extreme and money was no object... I think thats most peoples dream system but no one can afford it lol.

Well if you get 8 GB of RAM for a 64-bit Vista OS.. why have all that RAM if you don't have any 64-bit supported games?

Half-Life 2
Lost Coast
Bet On Soldier: Blood Sport
Codename: Panzers (Phase one)
Colin McRae Rally 2005
Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay
Far Cry
Fahrenheit
Shadow Ops: Red Mercury
Unreal Tournament 2004
World of Warcraft
WWII Tank Commander
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl
Dreadnought

Those are the only 64-bit supported games for XP (that I can find). As you can see, half of these titles I've never even heard of / care about, and the rest are for older games.

Purchasing 8 GB of RAM and buying a 64-bit OS is shooting yourself in the foot in the short term. I suggest you get 32-bit now, 4 GB now, and upgrade as necessary (RAM will get cheaper as time progresses anyway!)

PS: This is the lovechild of HP and VooDoo - http://h20435.www2.hp.com/

Quite impressive!
