[jacksc02]

hopefully the AMD price drop happens soon, the 275's are still around AU$800

[DaForce]

Yeah i think they will.. maybe not until they release they new line tho.

[teabag]

AMD 4x4 sounds interesting...later on this year

[Olli96]

i am more then happy with my dual amd 285, and yeah you would need a case where you can use E-ATX Boards...i bought this little tower: Collermaster Stacker

really nice case

Havn't AMD released a new line of chips that support DDR2, (AM2 socket)

[DaForce]

Yeah but intial reviews revealed they were basically shite. Not worth the upgrade really.

[DJ-Studd]

Dude, you must have missed the thread... look here: http://www.chaosgroup.com/forum/phpB...944&highlight=


:P

We have 2 new 4200s on AM2 platform. Not shite. Also comes with 4 slot MB for 4gb of pc6400 @ 800mhz.

Not a super increase in render speed, but a lot more fun to work on. Look for a shuttle xpc case on newegg. Notice all the stuff it DOESN'T have onboard.

Prices are dropping next week. AMD announced this when intel announced the arrival of the new chips. Supposed to be end of July.

[DaForce]

Yeah sorry i should clarify what i meant by shite... i was meaning that as basically no render speed/performance increase.

The items themselves are good.

AMD's next big jump(supposedly to take top position again) could be as late as end of next year. Keep your eye on the Conroe architecture for now, because from what I have read/heard, AMD is working on some things that will make PCs obsolete for professionals, and there is no use waiting on it as it is well over a year away and the dawn of consumer 64 bit computing lies between here and there.
