I recently made this exact computer for my friend:

Asus P4P800DX
2X512 Geil Golden Dragon DDR433(PC3500)Cas 2.0(http://www.geilusa.com/products.asp)
P4 2.8c(HT/800mhz)
Mitsubishi superflat/syuperbright 22’’
Antec 1080AMG+ 400whatt PSU
Seagate 120gig SATA
Geforce FX 5900
NVIDIA GF (A350TDVIVO-128)FX5900 128MB DDR AGP 8xTV+DVI + VIVO (RB) : 580$
(http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/20030714/vga_card_guide-60.html
total w/taxes : Approx:3260CAN
 
So a P4 I will get, thanks for enlighted advices...

Someone suggested memmory with CL2.5 you said CL2...what is this "CL" thing and what is the difference between both?
 
Cl is for cas latency. The lower, the faster your ram is...
The new P4's will run faster with lowerr CL...
 
Mais si tu trouves de la DDR400 avec un Cas Latency de 2.

tu vas la payer très chère!!! Si ton budget est illimité vas-y pour un P4 et de la DDR400 CL2. Mais si ton budget est limité, les processeurs AMD sont attrayants parce qu'ils ont un meilleur rapport performance/prix dans le bas à moyen de gamme.

Voici les prix des principaux processeurs AMD et INTEL. Ils sont classés par performance de compression vidéo (DivX) du moins performant au plus performant. Le chiffre le plus petit est est le plus performant.

DivX bench : 153 - XP 2500+ (DDR333) = 145$CA
DivX bench : 151 - P4 2.4Ghz (DDR400) = 295$CA
DivX bench : 140 - XP 2800+ (DDR333) = 295$CA
DivX bench : 136 - XP 3000+ (DDR333) = 430$CA
DivX bench : 132 - P4 2.8GHz (DDR400) = 450$CA
DivX bench : 125 - P4 3.0GHz (DDR400) = 670$CA


Donc, comme tu vois, les processeurs Intel sont plus cher dans le bas et milieu de gamme que les AMD... Et de plus, tu devras acheter de la DDR400 pour tier le maximum de ton Intel. Avec le AMD le DDR400 est le bienvenu si tu fais de l'overclocking. Ce qui ne semble pas ton cas.

Alors comme tu vois le P4 3.0GHz (DDR400) est plus de 4 fois le prix d'un XP 2500+ pour environ 20% plus de performance. Dans le comparatif "compression video", le meilleur compromis performance et prix raisonnable reste le AMD XP 2800+ selon moi.

Et n'oublie que je n'ai tenue compte que du prix du CPU, l'avantage du XP 2800+ s'accentuerais, si on tenait compte du prix de la mémoire et du motherboard!

Donc, si tu as full $$$$, vas-y pour Intel et si tu est limité un AMD va te procurer d'excellentes performances à un prix raisonnable et l'argent sauvé sur le CPU/mémoire/MB pourrait ainsi te permettre d'acheter une meilleure carte vidéo (ATI All-IN-WONDER 9xxx) pour environ le même prix que le système Intel avec une carte vidéo moins performante.

L'achat de PC est une question de budget et de bon compromis!

Bah the DDR400 Cl2 is not that expensive
url=link] http://www.sohodiffusion.com/Memoires.htm [/url]
All CAN dollars
256MB DDR/433 GEIL GOLDEN DRAGON 256MB DDR 433Mhz $97.00
512MB DDR/433 GEIL GOLDEN DRAGON 512MB DDR 433Mhz $190.00
And he said he had 4000$, no so tight budget...
throw a PIV/2600/478/800 PENTIUM IV 2.60 (800mhz) GHZ- SOCKET 478 (RETAIL BOX) $312.00
Its not that bad and it performs really well
 
Intel boards, aren't those the ones that all these sites say are overpriced, underfeatured, and underperformance?

All the best boards require you either get "lower than Cas2 memory" such as Corsair's LL series, or run the Cas Latency at something greater than the memory is specified at (Cas2 RAM running at Cas2.5), or underclock your RAM (PC3500 at PC3200 speed), to get it stable. Today's memory just isn't good enough for these chipsets, they push it too hard.

Reading "technical" French it'S easier than reading plain French!

I hope you enjoyed my French ride... But I'm back to english!!!

Et voilà!

What the heck is not nothing? Is that a double negitive?

Has this become Tom's Guide to descriptive linguistics? This makes me miss all the cpu fanboy threads.

Where did I say that? I rechecked my post, it said "not knowing". Clean your glasses lately? Resolution set too high?
