Pentium 4, How cheap can you get

[CB-Byte]

I went to my favorite computer shop and found out that for 22,000 pesos (51 pesos = 1$ US) more or less 430$ US you can buy a :

Pentium 4 1.6Ghz
Asus P4S333 Motherboard
128 DDR PC2100
NVidia Gforce 2 MX400 32MB
40 GB Seagate Baracuda
Asus DVD ROM
Floppy Drive
D-Link Modem
Cool Speakers
HP Deskjet 656C
Mouse/Keybrd
15" AOC Monitor

How cheap can you get?

Dang, that seems like a pretty good deal :)

:cry: Sad part is, I bought my own gear last december for 37,450.00 Pesos...You see, things are depreciating very fast. My gear is almost the same specs as the 22,000 deal, although I upgraded some, like the Motherboard change to Asus P4B533 and trade the 128 Mem to 256 MB DDR, but I feel like I was a fool to trust (Before) that the Asus V3800 is a cool Graphics Card...Gforce 2 was already available that time with a 4,000 Pesos tag on it. Money was the factor I guess.

Anayways, i'm cashing out my 13th month pay this week to get myself an MX440.

pentium sux....amd is better.....don't waist your money

[eviltechie]

nothing sux
they are all good if they are all free :lol:

[Jason425]

omg magic man you said that on my post and now on someone else? i havent read emall but you probably said the same thing again, I'm an intel loyalist but I try not to knock on the fireballers *amd users* (joke reference to amd processors running very warm) :shake:

[CB-Byte]

AMD :rofl:

[CB-Byte]

hey guy! I got my silver Wooooohooooo!

In fairness to AMD...Here in Philly, U can buy an AMD Duron950 with ur Income Tax Return. Pretty cheap huh.

[CiKoTiC]

That depends on how much your getting back on your return. :rolleyes:

[CB-Byte]

with the exchange rate US$ with Philly (php) its 53 to 1...

[me101]

pentium 4 sux :) Get an AMD :)

[Jason425]

no... it doesn't... :shake:

[eviltechie]

you all just shut up about the pointless yes or no

we have alot of threads about this already!
go post there!!!

i think a 2.4C P4 is definately worth every cents

amd xp sux :) Get an Intel :)

[gnogtr]

I have a P4 3.06 Hyperthreading in my laptop and an overclocked AMD 3000+ in my desktop. I love them both. I don't really have a personal reference. Don't lose sleep over this issue. Pentium is cooler, but AMD is better for gaming.

[MISMGR]

what is the store name and address you bought your pc please

[Jason425]

there are HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of stores with those items.. i'm fairly certain that he built his desktop system. The manufacturer doesn't make as much difference as the parts inside do. Besides, it's probably safe to assume that there are different stores between the US and Singapore (assuming he lives in the US)

[MISMGR]

sorry to not mentioned which store name in Philippines you buy
the PC for 22,000 pesos only .

[Jason425]

check pricewatch.com or ebay

[Jason425]

PROMETHEUS(hulk) MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PROMETHEUS(hulk) SMASH!!!!

[Jason425]

*distant faint cry* bbbbbbbbiiiiiiiiiiiiiooooooooooooossssssssssssss......................

[Prometheus]

my bios dont really have anything i know how to use what do i change in them?

[Jason425]

what is your mobo? Or is it a dell or compaq or something?

[Prometheus]

MSI something or other

i just dont know what to change

[Jason425]

Never owned an msi mobo.. FSB is what you usually change when you OC. Go up 5 fsb or so at a time and check stability with burnins, games, benchmarks, etc

[Napster]

Pentium or AMD? 32 bit or 64 bit? who cares??? :shake: whatever gets u the better performance is what counts :wavey:

[Prometheus]

Exactly


Amd is cheaper and faster in my opinion :P

[StinkyMojo]

Exactly


Amd is cheaper and faster in my opinion :P

word up in da house :P

[Prometheus]

Soon as I get a job in Ireland im gonna save up enough for a new gfx card ideally the next radeon (10000)

My system will then be a skip from being perfect....I just need to case mod it :P

[Jason425]

the only mods I like are the ones that make em look like things that aren't comps at all.. but those are for super leet modders... and stuff will prob cost more there
