Amazing how cheap it is to build a fast computer

[|3ourne]

You get that combo , BSEL1 mod your E4300 , you have a 2.4ghz fast computer with a decent onboard video. If you speed another 150 you get a really good video card too. So its a really good config for a gaming machine !!!! Like for example this 7900gs http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130056 . Im sure there are better deals out there but DAMN !

Nice setup man. i dont really see the point in modding the e4300 as you can just stick the fsb up inthe bios though?

the point is the change the stock strap on the nb from 800 mhz fsb to 1066 mhz fsb to loosen the internal timings. This in turn helps you to go higher in terms of your overclock ( theoretically ). This in turn will let you run sync with high speed memory. Not to mention a HIGH stock speed , from 1.8 ghz to 2.4 ghz. Which makes it a fast computer right off the bat.

Any1 with some time on their hands care to give us a UK version of these pricings ?
