but that would also mean a new motherboard and dont you need registerd mem for these 64 bit jobbies

would go like runny something off a shiny shovel though

Shame its not 200fsb but the mobo's to blame for that right. I would be tempted to a go for a decent 17" tft i think

I'm sure he said upgrade...

And the only worthwhile thing IMO is a better monitor... Nice 19" Iiyama CRT. The're ugly mofo's but the quality is lovely!
Dunno why people love TFTs so much? I used to like them but I've come to realise that they really are naff for moving images, i.e. scrolling text and games

(Unless you pay a ridiculous sum of money for one). I played UT2003 on my mate's 21" TFT and it was terrible.

And yes, I'd get some better speakers.

Mission, Kef, anything really nice-sounding!

FOR GOD'S SAKE I CLICKED QUOTE INSTEAD OF EDIT AGAIN

Get a 21" monitor from AC computers, delivered for £59 inc.(see bargain forum for details)
Next, get that Barton up to 200mhz fsb.

Sorry M8 but I don't agree with you on the Mission speakers, there not nice sounding. There really dull (there latest range anyways), KEF - OK, there pritty good ... but Mission?

**Howard** · 19-12-2003, 11:58 PM

Kef make some of the most well regarded speakers

They're superb.
Mind you I could name hundreds of brands of excellent speakers, those two just popped into my head. Lol.

Mission speakers are better for "noise", i.e. games and movies. They're not bad for music, but not of absolute high quality like for example Kef.

A bit phat REL subwoofer, a better monitor or maybe a 160gb IDE drive for backing up to and mega-storage.

**duongnt** · 20-12-2003, 12:32 AM

monitor obviously and more ram pls

**DeludedGuy** · 20-12-2003, 12:37 AM

Since it is an upgrade, i would have to say get yourself a 17 inch LG monitor, about £350, my freind has one, its well worth the money with the DVI connection and all.

you guys are GREAT....

with that many responses I can see the whole truth and nothing BUT the truth, so help me gawd

Monitor .....agreed

Mobo....you're right its holding back the FSB at 200 hence the minor overclock

Track IR...TiG...I'm gonna hose you down dude

Speakers.....?...hmm.....you see we all have different tastes AND cos I;m stuck up my own but hole, I shall be keeping them cos they sound nice to me AND cos I use my SENNHEISERS HD 570's more

You guys simply ROCK

Its like ASK THE AUDIENCE.....so long as you take the trend you're reasonably safe, and at least you lot know what you're on abvout.

THANKS DUDES

**G4Z** · 20-12-2003, 01:24 PM
