wow neva fail to interest mi daily with interesting comments from other ppl around the world.. lets take a look at wat one of my guild mate said.For those who dont know what is overclock let mi explain in layman terms. it simpily means increasing ur processor /ram run at speed beyond its default speed through increasing voltage and settings in bios.

cruelangel: jeff u got overclock ur com?
cruelangel: make it a fast ferrari

nukebomber: my com 24hr on one
nukebomber: super overclock
lol.. anyway computer hardware prices are dropping like crazy.. intel seems determined to crush amd once and for all by cutting prices to underprice amd already very low price. amd 6000+ 3ghz one of the top end of athlon64x2 is priced at $280 only while paying abit more @$300 could only get u a core 2 dual 2.0ghz 6420.
At the same time rams are at a high time low, ddr2 667 cost u around $65 per gb while ddr2800 cost $75+ per gb. Even the mobo are make future-proof meaning it's about to support futture ddr3 and incoming 45mn processor(more cache, fsb and consume much less watt than current one) .
In the graphical line ati prices are priced competitvely(with frequent price cut only to follow by price cut from nvidia) against nvidia in the mainstream line. $260 could fetch u radeon 2600xt gddr4 256mb OR a geforce 8600gt gddr3 256mb. performance wise radeon is faster in processing image/games without much shader being used. 2600xt have a much higher core, memory clock than geforce 8600gt but 8600 gt makes up with its higher shader clock speed and shader transitor. But well recent price cut drop 8600 by another $20. A 19inch dell lcd cost only $319(a few month ago this price can only fetch a 17inch)
I dont see a better chance to get a new com now as prices are at its very low` and directx 10/vista have arrived. u need new hardwares to support that. when AMD goes crashing down, its skyhigh prices for us next time:)
