Recommend a CPU n MotherBoard

[deepakiitk]

I would either like to go for P4 HT 3.0Ghz on Intel 915 or AMD 64 3200+ ..
i also want to add DDR2 RAM as well if they actually boost the sys ..
all suggestions invited .. all i want is a better performing PC b/w the two ..

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice core, MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum, OCZ PC3200 EL Platinum Rev 2.

desparetly waiting for a reply .. any kind of suggestion invited ..
well .. i was actually going to buy p4 3.0 HT but read on this website abt the various test performed and now am in a dilemma as to which one wud b good for me ..
i need a high end PC which can run high end s/w like WebSphere , Eclipse , 3DSmax etc... i also want to use it as a gaming PC ..

Great suggestions.

Also consider the AMD64 3000+, DFI LANParty UT nF4 Ultra-D, and (512MB x 2) Crucial Ballistix PC3200 DDR RAM. All are amazing and can easily OC to 2.4GHz on air: free performance.

AMD64s stomp Intel P4s in almost every possible way and are priced at fractions cheaper than their Intel counterparts.

AMD64 3000+, Epox 9NPA+Ultra, Crucial Value RAM.

do not listen to all these AMD trolls and fanboys !!!

you should immediately purchase Intel motherboard and Intel processor !!!

i reccommend ASUS board and Prescott P4 chips !!! that would be the 6-- series

intel chips multitask so much better and system feels incredibly ' smooth ' relative to AMD machine of similar specs !!!

Don't Listen To Dothan most of what he says is insane or a lie, As for your machine what are you going to use it for? Do you want to OC, is SLI something you would be interested in? As AMD Fanboy i will of course say Get the Athlon64 but honestly both if your willing to Overclock are good overclockers (even if the PressHot can heat a standard house) and should give you better performance. Would you be looking at a DC setup later? If you plan on doing so I would look at AMD, DDR2 is more expensive and till they get the latency down to 3.5 or 4 then it really isn't going to be worth it (also its not a choice for AMD and is the Only choice for a socket 775 for Intel), the DC supporting Mobos can get into the $250 range and a 3000+ can be gotten as low as $120. Intel I know your plans with the Machine I can't reccomend what board or the amount of memory to get.

There is actually some truth to this. I have a AMD 3500+ Newcastle core running at 2.5 GHz with 1 GB of OCZ rev2 memory. When using Windows with applications like Opera, Itunes, MS Office and filesharing the system sometimes feels sluggish (i.e. music playback pauses when opening My Pictures folder in thumbnail view). But it could also be that Windows isn't very effective in allocating resources, what do I know.

high end PC which can run high end s/w like WebSphere , Eclipse , 3DSmax etc...

Go with the dual-core Pentium D 830 3.0ghz. It'll give you great rendering capabilites in 3dsmax and it'll be enough for gaming. How high is your budget?

Yeah don't listen to the AMD fanboys, but listen to this guy.....look at his name Dothan.....lol

Like he isn't an Intel fanboy. I have both Intel and AMD systems, I have a new laptop with a Dothan processor and the 915 chipset, it's awesome as far as laptops, and I would only stick with the Intel chips for mobile. The AMD is the way to go performance wise though, You should be good to go with a venice core 3000+ and the DFI board with some nice OCZ memory.

Are you serious about recommending the 3000+ venice to someone who uses 3dsmax?

3dsmax performance

If I were you deepakiitk, I'd check the CPU section on Anandtech and specifically keep an eye on how the CPU performs in your favourite applications. If you spend a lot of time multi-tasking different web-creation software, considerable time rendering in 3dsmax and occasionally playing games, a low end AMD chip is not the way to go.

Damn all defensive and everything.....I only read the original post and neglected to read the following post about 3DSmax, I appologize it's my fault. Please don't get all mad at me though you may hurt my feelings, I must let you know though that the 3000+ will overclock very nicely, with a decent overclock you will get some nice 3DSmax times.....so ummmm are you serious should be the question. I think if he uses the PC for alot of multitasking that could be a reason to go with something else, maybe even a dual core chip, otherwise I think he will find success with the 3000+, and if he wants to spend money step up to a 3700+ Sandy or even more to a X2 4200+.

 

[imported_Kensai]

AMD X2 3800+.

Sorry I read his part of wanting to some info on LCDs I missed the second post that stated what he was using it for.

OP In this case OUT OF THE TWO REQUESTED i would suggest getting the A64 specialy if want to overclock, but even if you don't the A64 would be bettter for this. and For a Mobo I personally would look at the A8N-E if your never want to SLI and the A8n-SLI Premium if you want the SLI option in the future.

But out of the 2 he suggested the A64 is the better choice even if it is "low" end.

AMD64 X2 for the best of all worlds.

 

[deepakiitk]
