"THE ultimate PC"

well, not the ULTIMATE PC, but I would like to know everything I would need to build one of the best PC's going, the CPU, Graphics Card, RAM, everything, so.... what would I need.


P.S. money is not a problem.

It would nto play any of the latest games like Far cry and it will deffinatly not play half life 2 or doom 3, it all depends on what games he plays, I personally could not live with that speed cpu, even my file server\softwall\Kazaa downloader is a P4 2.8 @ 3.2gig and that is not used for gaming at all.

Ok, I agree with that.
But try out a mates comp with say a 2400 in it, you will see the difference, and who knows you may want to splash out and buy one.

Ok, yup.

800mhz is very low but the old saying "if it aint broke, then don't fix it" comes to mind, if the bloke says that it all work to his liking then it does not matter.

On another note the apples have better performance due to ahving such a small amount of hardware configurations that Mac OS has to handle, Windows on the other hand is able to handle most hardware configurations.

Come off it, he is trying to tell me how good an 800MHz CPU is.

You can't possible agree and he can't possibly win.

He says it's stable, well of course it is, it doesn't handle that many processes.

It's crap get over it.

You're a patronising SOB, aren't you?

oh yhea thats because they have a ton of RAM in there, i think the new one can take 4x 2gb 400mhz sticks YE-OW-ZA

right this is what kinda PC i want (cannot afford, lol):

AMD 64 3.4+ CPU
4x 512mb (pc3200)/400mhz RAM + alloy heatsinks
600w PSU
256mb video card or something like that
10gb + 20gb + 80gb hdd each around 4000 - 7200rpm
dvd-rw + cd-rw
temp controlled heatsink with 80mm fan
2x 80mm fans on the back (temp controlled)
2x fans as above on both sides
a really good sound card (i know little about these)
surround sound
19" sony tft
and a fdd

costing around £1300 to make (tft will cost half of it)

I like how you lot are a load of losers, who think power is everything.

But think about it, Windows, slow as anything, 3ghz, Macs, twice as fast as windows, yet it runs on 1.5ghz.

You bunch of apes, who needs more the 800mhz.

Yea, whats your definition of currupt?

Speakers basically.

CRT, LCD, TFT???

Why not just buy a combo drive? also no dvd writer?

Yea the sims and worms supprisingly dont need much juice.
Try Far cry or UT2004.
