Title: New Computer
Post by: Gforce on August 12, 2010, 09:44:23 PM
I'm ordering this tomorrow http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883241029 ;D.Decided to go for a six core to get some real computing speed. What do you guys think? Could I get a better deal?

Looks promising to me. In about 2 years you'll probably upgrade the video card. The review said that the heat sink for it covered an expansion slot. Let us know how you like it. It would be cool to see what the benchmark for T2 is on it.

If you can swing the extra cost, go for the 6 core T1075. It has a bit more speed.

Unfortunately that's not an option. My car seems to be falling apart basically.  :(

well my computer arrived and I'm very happy with it. I'll post the benchmark sometime later but i believe it was around 12 minutes. The coolest part about it is a can have the power of a quad core dedicated to terragen and still play battlefield bad company 2.  It rates 7.4 for processing speed on the rating index.
