alrite, sorry for the late replies you guys, but as I did go for a major upgrade..I couldnt go online coz i SOld my cpu first ....and now i just finished setting up my new one!!! it rocks!!

It's not the best but it's morethan what i expected...

Tell me what you guys think..

P4 2.4A GHZ Prescot 1MB L2 and 533Bus
MSI 865PE Neo 2 Platium Edition link
2 X Geil 256MB PC3200 RAM with heat sinks
GeCube Radeon 9550 128MB Platinum Edition
info
Hitachi 80GB 7200RPM Hard Disk Drive

These are my new parts.. their not like some really expensive stuff, but they were rather expensive for the average parts today.. but it's all worth it! coz im hitting 10K in my 3DMark2001 Benchmark results!! PLus with the MSI MoBo and 2.4 GHZ Prescot's overclockability, i was able to hit 11389!!! (oc @ 2.8Ghz)

im trully satisfied!

Yeah, im a gamer freak myself.. a lot of people did tell me to go for athlons.. i was gona untill i researched FACTS and found that the best 32 Athlon processor was easily smoked by just a Pentium 2.4 processesor..

Speaking of games, did anyone play Spiderman 2? Man, what a disappointment. They hyped the game up so much because you can play with the whole city and go everywhere and all that, but after the novelty of swinging around buildings is over, there's no game. Beat the actual game in one day. Then True Crimes; Streets of LA was fun, but GTA3 and Vice City were so much better. Currently addicted to Battlecry Warlords 3. Very Warcraft like...

[tommynanda]

SpiderMan 1 was like a 80's game(Contra) w/better graphics...no strategy... no mazaa... not even interested in trying spidey 2... I am working on HITMAN 2 rite now... the first time I played... I was awarded Mass Murderer for almost all the missions 😃.. so trying to be a Silent Assasin... Needless to say, Need 4 Speed is my alltime Favorite... and yeah GTA3 is good too.. didnt try VIce city yet... Too many games in pending 🙁

Driv3r, Vice City, Sands of Time, Underground... oh man.. help me some money 😃

[Shrike]

Well all you gamers will be in for an upgrade. Have you seen the specs for Half Life 2 - minimum CPU 1.2Ghz, recommended 2.4Ghz. Chortle 😉

[LordShryku]

No problem :p

Doom 3's min requirements are pretty high too...

[Tea_J]

aww man.. i loved spider man.. it was fun swinging around web strings and stuff in the game spiderman the movie (the game) ... sucks to hear the part 2 is not as good. 🙁

My oh my, HL2 has those as minimum requirements?? i have a feeling my 2.4Ghz prescott wont be that fancy with this game.. 🙁 time for an overclock!

the reason any new (athy XP/athy 64/opteron) AMD chips own P4s so much is because you get about 60% more work done per cycle, about the same as a P3.

Intel has lost for about a year. we'll see after that.

[Tea_J]

well, i read in a head to head battle between the 32bit processors that, the best 32bit AMD processor is easily smoked by an intel 2.4GHZ... very disappointing to AMD.. this was my deciding factor.. lemme look for that link once again..
