$500 computer

[legacy-element*381]

You might've gotten an unlucky one with bad locked pipelines, etc.

It's still a risk, but either way the 9800 SE should easily outperform the 6200 without taking a look back even at stock. You don't really need to unlock it though.

Besides, in most games that utilize SM3.0 the 6200 would probably get sub-20's in FPS.

Don't get so angry because you had a 9200 SE that performed like **** either way. :noob:

I'll say it once more. NEVER get the SE cards.

If you want a little system as a second system, (not for gaming), i suggest the Mac mini aswell

Now, if you want a quick system, eMachines' high end system, is about $600, all you need in it is a better video card and a ram upgrade maybe.

I've got a nice system that I could part with for a reasonable price. It's a Barton 3200+ with an Aerocool dualfan heatpipe, GA-7N400 Pro2 mobo, 1GB of Mushkin Blue ram, 120 GB SATA HDD, Radeon 9600 XT, 48X CDRW, and Audigy LS all wrapped up in a nice looking windowed case, replete with lots of lighted fans, etc...

If anyone is interested, PM me.

Fixed.

Oops, typo!


chimbaktu, the "links" to your components is actually one big link. You might wanna edit that.

[legacy-chimbaktu]

taken care. i noticed that whenever the page refreshed. darn url tags and their ninja like vanishing.

[legacy-chimbaktu]

actually, with a 6600 i was thinking about going with this quantum case for $110 with this thermaltake 480W PSU. that would add about $100 to the total. but i strong PSU and durable case with good airflow would be worth it.

[legacy-swatX]

haha geta 6200 and softmod it to 6600 and oc it.
