delta7 Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 i have seen this and im sorely tempted http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Intel-Core2-E6750 ... dZViewItem but iv heard that intel ar elaunching new chipset and that both ati and nvidea have new cards due so is it the right time? it will have to do for about 2 years or she who must be obayed will flail me alive and feed me to the sheep it is to play il2fb only really -to be honest Im not that enthused about BOB - I recon it will be at least 2 years before it has a reasonable planeset so I cant see me diving in early UNLESS all you desert il2 at the drop of a hat. any thoughts?

BBloke Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 IMHO, I checked it out against parts from overclockers and its a great price with great components. I would upgrade the GFX card myself to an 8800GT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensenPark Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I'm going to wait and see if anyone replies in English, and not Borg-computer talk so I can understand something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta7 Posted November 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Im torn between the x1950 pro and the 8600 - unfortunatly the 8800 is above my price range just now but could be an upgrade in a year - I liked this one as the basics of case, power and motherboard looked quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okie Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I agree with Chris. Looks like a nice deal. You can always upgrade the GFX to what's groovy now later on down the road when prices have dropped. As it is, what your looking at is certainly no sloucher. Who knows when BOB will be released and what it will need to run it at this point. It will need to be released and then go thru a patch or two. Then I'll make a big leap on upgrading to accommodate it. I have a feeling that's going to be a long while yet. I just made an upgrade myself recently after waiting a long long long time for BOB. Glad I didn't wait any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logos Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I'm going to wait and see if anyone replies in English, and not Borg-computer talk so I can understand something. JP, I'm with you. It's a freakin' miracle I remembered how to copy and paste your comment into my response. These techno-geeks drive me bonkers. I wish I could wrap my punie little brain around some of the most basic concepts in computer understanding. What the hell, as long as I can install video games and download patches, I'm good:) Logos How the heck do you get the other persons comment to show up in the lavender box !?! I told you I'm a computer idiot!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
