==============

I was just wondering what 3dmark's etc you get with this monster machine. I am curious as I had just looked at the same mobo / mem and cpu myself for my new machine.

Any stats / probs / high's and low's I would be grateful for.

Nice rig man.

[sapiens74]

well after a mistake... long story.... I am now stuck with Samsung PC800 40 NS tho it is hella faster.

I cranked it up to 2.55 GHZ at 150 FSB. Runs stable as any machine I ever had.

I get in the mid 3100's on SANDRA for Memory Bandwith. It runs Quake 3 at 1600 x 1200 all max settings including sound and gets 144 FPS

Have no clue how fast that is in comparison with other machines

[yakkob]

I would say thats pretty fast..Nice scores on the Sandra mark.

Any chance you could run off a 3dmark2001?

The only part of your setup I would not have is the ti4600, but thats because I cannot justify the expense of them as they are at the mo.

You using any extra cooling or just the usual intsake and exhaust with standard PSU cooling?

[sapiens74]

Stock fan

THo I have 4 fans inside the case

[DosFreak]

He probly gets in the 11-12000's in 3Dmark.

[sapiens74]

yep right at 12000

[yakkob]

Now lets see how far hardware is gonna drop in price in the next couple of months

Cool rig Sap

[Uykucu]

Nice one, but your CD-r kind of sticks out a bit I am not buying you could not afford a new one storry with that config. But if you don't need it end of story.

BTW I agree with Yakob. Let's wait 2 months and see how much they are worth

[sapiens74]

THe reason I only have a 4X is I have been waiting on the 40x,

I had a nice 24x Plextor but it was lost in the mail. SO i havent reordered one since.

[pmistry]

I too have decided on my next machine, it will mostly serve as a Workstation PC, but will get some gaming on it too...can someone tell me the real difference between P4T533 and P4T533-C, something to do with 32-bit RIMM support???????? Is this where I can only put 1 RDRAM stick in, instead of 2 at a time?

I am picking up the:
Intel Pentium 4 1.6 GHz Northwood
Asus P4T533-C or P4T533
Samsung 256 MB PC800 RDRAM [upgrade to 512 later]
400-watt P4 ready ATX Case
ATI Radeon 8500 128 MB [gonna use that ATI Trade Up program]

[sapiens74]

Yep But I havent seen a stick of memory yet

[Uykucu]

In my opinion,
If you are getting a new CD-R
Get a Yamaha or Philips or HP. I haven't touched the new plextors because old ones gave us such griefs. I know it is not common but i lived through hell. Maybe it was just a series of them which was due to extremely bad luck.

But not only they were faulty sometimes out of the box, but i had nearly half the amount we sold came back faulty in six months period.

I have a Yamaha 2100s cdrw and a sony. Both excellent models. I have never tried a plextor. My m8 has just bought the LG 40x32x10 and is very pleased with it and they are a very good price too.

Uykucu, have you any pricelists you want to share?

[Uykucu]

If you are asking in sense of buying from us, we do not sell to end users. If it is collecting information, PM me your e-mail address, i will forward you some suppliers, I do not know your status they might trade with you or they may not.
Oh And you have to be in UK or Turkey. Or at least somewhere reasonably close.

[Jerry Atrik]

my upgrade will be here tomorrow
supermicro p4dc6+
2.2ghz p4 xeon times 2
seagate x15 scsi hd x2
adaptec 2005s raid
leadtek geforce4 ti4400
sony scsi cdrw
sony scsi cdrom

[pmistry]

Can you still use old PC800/PC1066 16-bit modules too though with the P4T533?

[sapiens74]

no.

Gotta have the c version i think

thats why they include a stick or ram with it

[DosFreak]

Get a Liteon 48x. Most compatible with CloneCD and I've had nary a problem with 'em.

[pmistry]

Thanks for the info Sapiens.

[sapiens74]

Gonna order a new CDRW after I move.

Gotta save some money now :P
