Computers by Jimbo on 12-23-2007 at 09:27 PM
Hey, im probably going to be buying this computer soon, and i wanna know what you guys think. Is it good enough for the average gamer, and should i add/customize any parts?
RE: Computers by ShawnZ on 12-23-2007 at 09:34 PM
$2200 for something running 8600s? i don't recommend it.

I'd say this is better but it's probably better to get the parts yourself.
Or this full system

If you can wait a few months (2 or 3), I read on neowin that Intel will start to ship it's new quad-core chips.
It might be a little more expensive than these pointed out of course, but if your budget allows it, why not.

lol. I understand that's the way all technology goes, but might as well get the latest when buying something that'll last for about 3 years no?

I have exactly no clue lol. I really don't know much about processors, but I don't think these are the new ones I read about.
RE: Computers by Phillip on 12-24-2007 at 02:56 PM
They would be Q6600s which have been out for months.
These are the release dates/prices for the new 45nm CPUs
![[Image: Intel_45nm_CPU_prices_01.jpg]](http://www.tcmagazine.com/images/news/Hardware/Intel_45nm_CPU_prices_01.jpg)
The Q core being quad and E being duel core of course.

I'd assume since they were meant to be out in November, they've been pushed back.
E-Buyer are still selling the QX6800 for like £520.
I'm getting a QX9650 with new motherboard when they come out hopefully.
