I think Big_Al needs a new cpu

[Zak33]

go find his sig....he's got PC3200 , a Radeon 9600 XT, an nforce2 board


And a T Bird.

I had a t bird..they are great great chips.....but come on Big_Al....sort it out man.

You GOTTA got XP even if its a 2nd hand Thorobred.

you NEED to unchoke that PC...its being throttled man

[Allen]

LOL! If I could afford it I would!

(I know, you're thinking I can afford the other stuff so why not a £40-£50 CPU?) Well, I get paid on the 25th...

[[GSV]Trig]

Swap my XP2500 and R8500 for your 9600 and Tbird

[Allen]

NEVER! I love my 9600XT too much, it's actually a very nice card!

[Lowe]

Nothing wrong with a Tbird! I've got a 1ghz Tbird overclocked to a whole 1400mhz, yet I can play most things with an acceptable frame rate. Games these days aren't about CPU, it's GPU that counts.

[[GSV]Trig]

I know that, plus I have 2 XP2500's so swappin my 8500 for a 9600 is a great deal

[Allen]

Wanna sell one of those XP2500+'s? I've had a thread asking for one for ages, but no-one wants to sell one... guess I'll get Aria's for £50 something quid on pay day then...

[da_ging]

lol i have 3.2gig of cpu power but a puney radeon 7500 ,still shouldnt be long till i have a new card probably a rad 9800pro if the prices keep on falling

Erm, nope
Your chances of getting a second hand XP2500 are about as good as my chances of finding an unabused Cav Turbo

[Howard]

LOL oh dear

Get yourself a 2500 Barton or something mate, unleash the full power of that graphics card. Me going from a 1.3 Duron to my 2400+ made a huge difference, and that was with an ECS K7S5A and my GF4 MX440

[Allen]

I will, when I get paid.

[ERU]

I'd just grab a cheap AXP - it dont make a hugh differencr nowasay tbpfh

[marc_ellis]

Nothing worng with the Thunderbird CPU at all, its an all time great. up until 9 months ago i was runinng a 800mhz thunderbired @ 950 with a geforce 3, it played all games with quite decent frame rates.

You obviousy have never tried to play Planetside!!!! Goes all bitchy if you've got anything less than a 2500+ speed Oh and it needs 1.5 - 2 gig of ram in order not to page to the swap file.....

Are you still playing Quake2 man? Ill agree that that doesnt need a good spec PC

[Allen]

Ok, please donate anything you have to my new CPU cause and you'll make me a very happy man!

PayPal, FastPay and Nochex all accepted to the address: allenparishuk@yahoo.co.uk

Err I'm playing LOMAC, which is argueably one of the most spec hungry games available at the moment. Runs like a dream for me.
