*Following the Thread of Emod Development*
I know what you mean Javo, i thought it was some issue with GigaPack HighPoly and HighRes... i had extreme lag when killing a character or many, but my old Laptop which is a Compaq has 3Ghz, 768Ram and a old old 128MB ATi 9000 can run Redemption equally to my 8800GT, same frame rates... but its the damn 8800GT, my old ATi 9000 shows slightly less Lag than the 8800GT.
I thinking of building a New PC too, maybe ill go with AMD/ATi this time since their prices are really low, and all this years i have heard if you go by Gaming choose AMD... but i never understood or trusted their low frecuency CPU`s, since AMD CPU`s has always been slower on Clock, but now that there is the multi CPU PC`s i think i have come to trust AMD, i have always heard AMD had HyperTransport which is some kind of high bandwidht for Ram and CPU, but also their dual or triple CPU`s are even faster clock than Intel.
The only thing that pisses me off is that you can never have the ultimate or at least keep upgrading your PC since Intel keeps releasing newer and newer Sockets!? P4 486, Core2 775, I7 1336 and guess what? they plan to release a new socket for i5! Sons of a...
Im also stuck with this frigging CPU Which is a Good one but all CPU get old... what makes it worst is that since its a Server it uses Double 3.60Ghz Xeon Irwindale Socket 604, and you know how many CPU were made with that? just 4... and if it wasent enough they still cost from 500=800 USD each depending on the Speed, supposedly they are far much pure than regular Desktop CPU in regard of their Silicon and uses more Gold transistors... so they are quite expensive when you can just grab a Frigging I7 instead, but im stuck with this Socket??
So thats it... i7 is still too Expensive, since they cost from 250=300 USD... did i mention that in Mexico everything is much expensive in comparison? the exchange rate is 13.3 pesos for each Dollar and they raise the prices of all american products by 20=50 percent, dealing with a average salary 200 pesos a day or 15USD...
I will go by AMD/ATi this time since their prices are quite reasonable, the only thing i dont like about ATi is their Driver Support... IT SUCKS BIG TIME? you have to wait years for the GPU to actually grab a hold of its true potential.
So i plan to build my next PC keeping in mind Upgrades like the CPU, Ram and many PCI=E Slots:
GIGABYTE GA-MA780G-UD3H Hybrid ATI3200512MB
PHENOM X3 8650 2.3Ghz
4GB Ram
PowerColor HD 3650 512MB DDR2
WinXP (Ill try 64 too)
Im getting tired of damn mother boards that dont have 2 PCI=E slots, they are so RARE here in MexSHITco, but i seen tons of Motherboards with 1,2 or even 3 PCI=E 1X?? what the hell are those 1X slots for?? nothing fits in there? and whats the point of having 3 of those bastards? what the hell do thet do? why not instead stack the whole mobo with 16X and couple OLD Pci? GEESH?
I cant wait for Hydra Engine im so sick of SLI and CrossfireX, the damn mobos who do have double PCI=E dont support either SLI OR CRossfire?? this is ridiculous? when HydraEngine is released it will render CrossFireX and SLI OBSOLETE, no need for bastards that only give shitty 50percent perfomance and you could even pair an old FX5200 with a nice 9800GTX2 or a Radeon 9000 and a HD4850, as long as they both use the same Driver you can stack them up, even AGP, PCI and PCI=E playing together (i just once saw a Mobo with all 3 slots, never seen one after).
