Buying Computer

Quad cores rock, I should know..

It's decent.  However, if you're heavy on gaming, you might want to improve the graphics card.

[Mr.Patrick]

It's a quad processor. Multiply 2.5 x4, and then try and say that again.

No, no, no, no. You're an idiot.
The cores don't add up like that.

nVidia GeForce GT220 1024MB graphics card

NO.

[Packer]

Needs more RAM is a very old Computer joke, I say it in every Buying Computer thread.

How do you convert quad processing speed into dual?

Not by numbers you can't. And you know this so quit trying to be a smartass.
The fastest existing dual core can't even compete with a 1.5quad even.

Dayum. Really?

I need to get a quad core then.

Really depends on how they are competing (IE. what application are they running). I'd still take the Quad core, but not if all it can muster is a sad 1.5 Ghz .

NO.

Why?

[TheChaosCarrier]

That Graphics card is a no no. I would know, my mom's computer has it, sucks for gaming. But then again, so does my ATI Radeon 3100. :(

[Bisjac]

Well processing don't need to get much faster anymore when a bitsize is going to remain the same forever.
The technology gets better with multiprocessing, not faster.
Clockspeed don't mean much anymore.

[Inv3rted]

Why?

Workstation GPU. Unless Ephi plans on not running 3-d applications much, it's a bad choice.

The Gt 220 is NOT a workstation GPU, it is a low end standard desktop GPU.

[Inv3rted]

fff

You get my point.
