Thanks for the reply!
- I'm not planning on Overclocking or even using the PCI slots right now for this system, would ECS do well for these purposes? My main concern was reliability and service - the 3 year warranty is good but no use if they suck at the customer service right? Have you had any...
@ Zap - Just saw the GD06 you had mentioned above, in fact saw it in this month's Max PC issue, that is the case they used for the $1200 high end Gaming / HTPC build that they have featured there!
Pretty nice case (although I would not need the hot swap drive bays and stuff) - its too pricey...
CPU Choice - A4 Llano: Bought @ Microcenter for $76 (incl. Tax)! So this is already bought, appreciate all the good discussion points you folks bought up, had me reconsider many times and I'm sold on this! Any more discussion on the CPU here would be futile!
- PRICE, PRICE, PRICE!
I would...
Please read the entire thread - you would see why that is not even close to the truth! That is not all that he has said, despite being proved wrong multiple times, all I'm asking is to move his baseless arguments to his own thread and leave this one alone!
I'm convinced as far as the build...
@ mfenn - You are missing the point again for the 95th time, in fact since this thread was started (or since I did not take your suggestion of the G620) you have missed the point.
Nobody here ever said that the Llano platform is the answer to all our prayers or is the best CPU available. All...
Thanks fffblackmage, that is what I wanted to know! I think I would end up going with the AS Rock. Have you ever had a reason to RMA one of those boards or contact ECS customer support?
Any comments on the above MoBo - it has a 3 year warranty but I've had no experience or familiarity with the brand - so anyone who has worked with this brand/product please comment on their reliability and quality please? Or should I just spend the extra and stick with the AS Rock?
Has anyone used or have heard about these Motherboards - ECS A75-M2 Socket FM1 A75 mATX AMD Motherboard? It is sold out on Newegg!
It is by far the cheapest I have seen with 6 - SATA III connectors and a USB 3.0 on board header as well as 2 USB 3.0 ports?
Would I regret it if I use this...
@ mosox - Also price was another concern as well for me!
My point was if I can get something with much better test results (an APU - built for improved graphics performance, as compared to a CPU) for the same or lesser price, then why not? Especially if I don't care much about improved CPU...
@ The Advocate - That looks like a great build, thanks for posting the pictures. Makes it much easier for me to visualize how mine will look after the build - I'm a visual person :) !
I am right now debating between the GD05B and the Antec case I'd originally planned with.
The only thing...
- well if you have read the posts then you know he never ever mentioned that, I did and said this -
I get your reasoning based on power consumption and heat, concerns for me too! Now that and the comparison chart you posted are reasonable factors, which is much better than personal attacks...
Well starting off from before this became personal - I'm happy with the processor I picked - I 'm looking for a good IGP in the CPU and if I can get twice the graphics (75% for the HD 6410D - the dual core APU, and 30% performance for HD 2000 - Intel Pentium G620) for the same price I'll take...
mfenn I'm going to word it as politely as possible - but I don't take racial slurs lightly sir. English is absolutely my native tongue and as evident from the above sentence you typed, I do speak and type in English with better clarity, and more eloquently! Read what you typed again and you...
- No mistake there, all of which the AMD processors does better than the Intel Pentium G620, which was your recommendation. So no argument there, we can't argue with facts and proven test results from multiple sites across multiple benchmarks, right! Now if it was the Core i-series CPU's then...
@mfenn -Thank you for the prompt replies. I was walking out the door when I saw your last post, but after I got back, I was doing some research based on your assertion that the Pentium G620 is a faster and better processor than even the Quad Core Llano's to see if I needed to switch and found...
