What CPU/System Would you Buy Today?

[KvHagedorn]

What CPU would you buy today if building your dream x86 system?

[isochar]

You didn't put up dual P4 Xeon's.

[Greebe]

Where's my darn Cyrix chip? Doh!

[KvHagedorn]

Where's my darn Cyrix chip? Doh!

Doh, I forgot about those Transmutter things too!

[Indiana]

And where's the dual VIA C3 solution....?!?

[Dilitante1]

KvH, let me know when you're ready to dump the dual katmai setup, I'm kinda interested (at the right price of course)

-Dil

[KvHagedorn]

What would the right price be, Dil?

I have
2 Pentium 3s@600MHz
512MB Corsair Registered ECC SDRAM CAS2 (BRAND new)
Tyan Thunderbolt GX Motherboard with
Adaptec Dual Channel LVD SCSI
Ensoniq Audio PCI
Intel 10/100 NIC

There's the package.. make me an offer I can't refuse

Just as a warning, I'm lazy and you gotta entice me to pull this thing apart, so offer as much as you would conceivably pay and I might sell it.

Kind Regards,

KvH

(secret negotions broke down early) Unfortunately I cannot convince him to relinquish his hardware at this time.......open to anyone else interested tho


-Dil
so broke that he can only dream of a Dual Athlon system on his huge desktop that beckons him to play games like Q3, and Asheron's Call........just to prove how slow his P-3 550 was 8)

[Maggi]

If I had the money, I'd definately go for the Tyan Tiger MP board and slap two Palominos into it ...

[ayoub_ibrahim]

for me, an Athlon Palomino based system!

[Electric Amish]

I'm currently eyeballing a 1.4ghz t-bird w/ 512mb Crucial p2100 DDR.

amish

[Kosh Naranek]

I would wait and see what a P4 Northwood with SMT ~ hyperthreading would offer and at what price of course.

[Wombat]

I'm thinking of building a dream system right now:

Tyan Tiger MB: $220
1.4GHz TBird: 2 x $140
1GB of Crucial DDR2100: 4 x $36 (inc. shipping)
G400 MAX : free
60GB 60gxp drive : $148 + 9

The look on MY face when I rip and encode a DivX movie in 4 hours: priceless.

I would get a palamino, but I want a new PC now so I got a 1.4GHZ T-bird...maybe I'll upgrade in six months
