[deepfried]

are you trying to make it look liek im the ungrateful one here?:O

 

[ionicle_old]

u should be, you get to work with my rig!! and i let you do it for free :O:O:O

 

[deepfried]

yes, i get to cut myself on your cheapass case, electrocute myself on your dodgy psu's work in a badly ventilated, dim, crowded worlspace all day...you sir, are a cruel work partner

 

[ionicle_old]

lmao...ofcorse...

 

[FarFarAway]

Well if you aint got anything else to spend you cash on...

But I would say improve the performance of your own system first...maybe a new mobo....

I am thinking hard about getting an Intel shuttle to run as a media PC for when I get my flat

 

[ionicle_old]

i could save up 300 quid and spend it all on my main rig, but if that broke down what would i use?!

I am building an Intel Shuttle this month! Which model are you planning to get? I have the SB83G5M with the VFD

@ionicle if you ship the parts to me, I will build it for you I can also help you with getting the parts

 

[ionicle_old]

in about 30 - 40 weeks i might take you up on that lol and as i sed £300 limit...maybe 400, but work it out from now, £10 a week, for however many weeks

and the parts i was considering gettin, if you dint see em in the top post:

if you know of anywhere cheaper i could get em....

and does no1 have an opinion of the case...?

You know my opinion mate...I would get the Tekheads one...

I would still get better RAM that that POS stuff you have at the minute...

Whats the point of a nice P4 if you don't give it any RAM to work with at all? It would be a lot slower than your main rig :nono: :crazy:

 

[ionicle_old]

if my main rig broke and i was forced to use it, i could just use the ram from it!

 

[ionicle_old]

does DDR2 show a speed difference to ddr?

 

[NickS]

Yes. Quite a bit, for Intel.

 

[balilu]

does DDR2 show a speed difference to ddr?

not really right now because of timings and stuff. ddr2 is better because it can reach higher clocks but for now timings have to be improved.

a DDR1 400mhz ram is equivalent to DDR2 533mhz

 

[NickS]

Really? Well, I guess, because of the lower latencies...but I think it was enVias that said the Intel's really take advantage of DDR2 technology.

Nah, they give about the same performance atm

 

[ionicle_old]

if i got DDR2 tho it would be more up to date...however it would cost more...but save me more in the long run...

@Eguy thnaks for the offer...i've added you on msn we can talk bout it on there

 

[NickS]

Yeah but isn't DDR much cheaper?
