Are you building it yourself?

www.ebuyer.com
www.dabs.com/uk
www.overclockers.co.uk
www.komplett.co.uk

So far, ebuyer is the cheapest, then aria and dabs, and komplett isn't bad either.

 

[VINE]

no im not buildin it myself. i dont know how.

 

[champdave]

Where do you live in the UK? I'll build it and send it to you

 

[VINE]

thanks for the offer but ill thinkill get 1 off a site

 

[VINE]

ive bin lookin at microland technology and mesh computers, but ive heard bad things about mesh so ill think ill go with microland

does ne1 know if the ASUS K8VSE Deluxe Wireless Edition motherboard is a dual channel motherboard?

 

[champdave]

I think so, but are you getting a socket-754 motherboard? What processor are you getting?

If it's an Athlon 64 I'd recommend a Gigabyte GA-K8NSNXP.

Mesh are class, we have a mesh computer . . . that is 7 years old

If you want a pre-built one, NEC computers (http://www.nec-online.co.uk) are the most solid ones. Great performance, easily overclockable, great customer support and the computer is built very sturdily: if you want to add or change components it is fantastically easy.

And yes, I am on an NEC computer now

i am gettin a atlon 64 n ill hav a look at the Gigabyte GA-K8NSNXP, is that dual channel?

and as for mesh i have just read reviews that the customer support is really crap and delivery etc.

ill post wat im thinkin of gettin soon (specs)

 

[VINE]

o and is the Gigabyte GA-K8NSNXP a 939 pin or 754?

 

[champdave]

754 pin . . only 754 works with an Athlon 64. Let's see how your specs compare to mine and prices

 

[VINE]

an athlon 64 3500+ is 939pin and do u know if intel r bringin out a 64bit processer netime soon? is intel p4 3+ghz betta thn a athlon 64 3500+ or a 3400+?

 

[VINE]

I don't think intel are bringing out a 64 bit CPU for a while, ATM I'd go for the Athlon 64.

Looking at it, perhaps socket 754 is for the 3200+'s down. I think after 3200+ the price steps are too great and you could spend that money on better RAM, gfx etc.
