Cheap, Powerful computer!

NickF · 10-10-2008, 07:35 PM

My computer class spent $260 on a computer. Today I foudn out that it overclocks to 3.3GHz out of the box. Its totally IntelBurnTest stable at this speed. Its single core,though. BUt even still, just 2 or 3 years ago the FX-57 reigned terror,and it was a 2.8GHz 125watt part, this is a 2.8GHz 45watt part that went to 3.3GHz without effort on a $49 mobo.

Cheap and powerful usualy don't go together.

CrazyGerbilEater · 10-11-2008, 04:16 AM

should say cheap and efficient.

Not a bad setup for the coin. You even have the chance to get a decent video card with the PCI Express on there. Even more kick ass that is has SATA. Slap a $25 DVD burner on there and go to town.
