MarkXXX Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 So how about my post? whats a good selling price for it? Thanks Quote Link to comment
JUPITER Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 it would be hard to assess the value of that PC, MARK30. 30T i say would be competetive but you need to be able to efficiently convince the would be buyer why s/he have to buy that coz as of these days, no one cares about the brand of your pc- its the internals that matters... buying something more expensive but branded over something much faster but unbranded is hard to decide on for some people... but since you did a good job on keeping it, i think you wouldn't have a hard time selling it to older people < aged 35 and above > since that generation <from my experience> still believes in brands. the likes of executives, school principals etc... hope this helps...

magtatah0ng Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 tnx bro, but until I hear good reviews of 2500+/2600+ OC, I'm still sold on buying 2100+..... and the 8RDA+ (not sure if I need firewire tho)and tornado casing.Oh, OK. Since you're going to OC your CPU, the 8RDA+ would be a very good choice. 8RDA3+ is out already... costs about P500 - P900 more than the 8RDA+ but you get the latest nForce2 Ultra400 chipset plus Serial ATA and two 10/100 ethernet ports instead of one, plus 2 rounded IDE cables that cost me about P260 each. Dunno if u really need all those but as a bundle its alot of bang for the buck. The new chipset revision is nVidia's answer to Intel's new dual 400mhz DDR chipsets. Must be the reason Epox had that summer sale.. I got a CPU cooler for free (Globalwin CAK4-88T) when I bought my 8RGA+. With Epox you can overclock an Athlon XP1700+ TB to a XP2400+ with ease, and even push it to XP2600+. And the cpu cost u only P3,200. In the office we buy only Intel/Asus. My boss wouldn't consider AMD, he thinks its not compatible with Intel... duh. I'm waiting to upgrade our server with a Springdale mobo when it hits the stores, specifically the Asus P4P800 w/c kicks Canterwood's ass in some reviews. Pair that with a Pentium4 - "C" with 800FSB and Hyperthreading and I don't have to buy an overpriced Xeon. Quote Link to comment

HTH. Quote Link to comment

JUPITER Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 tnx bro, but until I hear good reviews of 2500+/2600+ OC, I'm still sold on buying 2100+..... and the 8RDA+ (not sure if I need firewire tho)and tornado casing. if you have some extra money..try spending it on ASUS A7N8X de Luxe. Actually, the ABIT NF7-S ver 1.2 is the best but apparently, most of my suppliers told me that nobody distributes ABIT mobos locally anymore.. Epox 8rda+ / 8RDA3 is fine but it doesn't have the soundstorm thingy that every nforce2 chip based mobo should have. but if you're not an audiophile...8RDa should be just fine.. also try to see if 8RDA is BIOS tweakable coz it turned out that the nFORCE2 ULTRA 400MHz is actually just a BIOS upgrade.. Tips on buying an Athlon XP chip: 0.13 micron 1700+ Thoroughbred B Athlon XPAXDA1700 DUT3C 9361333260383 JIUHB0302XPCW 1999 AMD Above is a series of numbers you'll normally see on a chip of AMD. Let's break down the basic codes [ note: only few stores sell the thoroughbred chip amd, mostly are palominos so ask and verify before paying ] AXDA1700 - MODEL [.013 micron processed ] DUT3C D= OPGA PACKAGEU= 1.60v [ PALOMINO HAS M= 1.75 VOLTS ] T= 90 C MAXIMUM DIE TEMP 3= L2 CACHE SIZE in this case= 256MB 4=512MB (barton)C= 266MHz (bus speed) It is better to choose a DLT3C over the DUT3C for Tbred B. coz L = 1.50V therefore its a higher end chip and is more overclockable on default voltage. also, in "JIUHB"0302XPCW above, JIUHB - Thoroughbred B core, So-called J Thoroughbred for low end model.AIUHB- Thoroughbred B core, So-called A Thoroughbred for high end model. in "9361333260383" above, notice that the 9361333-"26"-0383 in the series is actually a model. in this case, its assumed that this chip was downgraded from XP2600 probably to supply the demands of the consumers for the 1700. in the overclock, this chip actually ran at XP2600+ speed using the default voltage which translates as a proof that the hypothesis of it being a downgrade is possibly true. I hope this will help you buy the right one and avoid the palominos coz they suck lots of power and is hotter too. Quote Link to comment
