thanks for the comments everyone ...
another small query about the athlon v intel debate, at the moment what would give me the best overal performance for the <$350, and also is it worth the extra money for the "venice core" A64 chip?
blackbunny nice 1337 comp u have der, and i have found that fluidtek is cheaper than anywhere else in sydney area ...

just wondering what everyone thinks about the new aldi pc?
ati x740xl ??? ive never seen that before ...

ati x740xl ??? ive never seen that before ...

prolly an aldi specific revision of the x700. they had an 9800XL in it before. This should be similar.

Best bang for buck and future-proofing is with the AMD.

In my experience the gains possible by spending that bit more on a CPU are fuckall compared to the gains made by spending exactly the same on a better graphics card or mobo.

thanks for the input guys (and girls) ... im ordering it tomorow
