I been considering the idea of putting together reasonably priced groovy-looking performance mATX HTS' for an earner line rather than just the purpose building. That's why I was wondering what the educated AMD crowd thought might be the go.

@ddp... done.

@Zip, I have nothing against AMD, I was hoping they would catch up and thought they might. (They certainly did good work with ATi imo.) But I frankly admit I don't know much about them. A friend did think they didn't multitask so well but that was years ago.
In the process of building a poot that seems halfway to your specs for someone.

@Dexter... well, it's certainly cheaper than building a dragster! I guess some think that if your poot is good enough for trolling the net then what more do you need? It's the undeniable rule of JGGIFT still going strong.

Jemborg,
Post #17 on page 1 has two such builds. A Phenom IIx4 955BE/C3, and a Phenom IIx6 1090T BE/C3.

Best Regards,

As much as I don't EVER want to see competition diminish, AMD has simply lost and can't hold a candle to the present day Intel procs. Intel's are lower nanometers, use less power, have higher bus frequencies, make MORE use of DDR3 RAM, have more transistors on 2 DIES and have higher clock rates with a lower multiplier. AMD better step up their game to reclaim their share of the market.

No doubt those AMD die-hard schmuck fans will counter this with "better for gaming" nonsense.........but the days of the higher bus bandwidth compared to Intel are over.

@Jemborg,
This is what I sell for inexpensive Quad cores.




Total cost for this one is $417.48, delivered! I've sold 10 of them so far this year, for between $550 to $575. Very competent Quad core, good for just about anything. I have one in the living room I built for my roommate. Excellent sound, with HD4200 On board Graphics and HDMI. I added an XFX HD4670 Graphics card to it for $44, and it's a pretty good gamer. With the AMD Chipset, when you turn off the onboard graphics, there's no memory loss. I added a Freezer 64 to it, but at stock 2.8GHz, there's no need for any more than the Stock CPU Cooler. The Motherboard is inexpensive, and has very good overclocking capabilities, with lots of adjustments available.

Best Regards,
Russ

Right... nice.

Now my plan is to get it into a sexy mATX case, a few UV LEDs, an ATi GFX that has HD HDMI sound out, Blu-ray player, dual TV tuner card (might have infra-red remote), Noctua S12 fan and about 2 gigs of HDD. Throw in Bluetooth and N wireless. Optional MCE wireless trackball keyboard (or touchpad version).... think it would sell?

Cheers,
Jem
