Core 2 Duo and an X1900XT, or wait for the X1950 ;) Regards,
Jason Tozer Database Analyst London Ext 1131 - 3SC.5 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Scott Sipe Sent: 23 August 2006 03:51 To: The Hardware List Subject: [H] Intel or AMD (Oblivion?) I absolutely cannot make up my mind.. I want to replace my 6 year old AthlonXP system (GeForce2!). I've got two raptor SATA drives, and some other bigger drives, so I'm good disk wise, so I'll be getting new only: Mobo / CPU / RAM (2gb ram wanted) Video Card (whatever ATI card I can get a decent deal on) I'd like to spend in the range of $800 dollars or so (got some flexibility with price, if some more money raised quality a lot, I wouldn't mind). Ability to play Oblivion with decent speed is a plus :-) (though I think SLI is prrobably out my price range) I can't decide between a Core 2 Duo and an X2. I'm leaning towards Intel right now (with ability to run OSX better as a plus) but am having trouble picking Core 2 Duo motherboards--seems like a lot of new ones are slated to be coming out in the next several months. I do want to buy within a week or two, and don't want to feel like I'm buying crap hardware (though I guess that's always a problem...) Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated! thanks, Scott ******* This message and any attachment are confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
