which system is better??

by **AlpineKid** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 1:47 pm

I am looking at these two systems. Would like some help on which one would be better.

AMD Phenom X4 9650 2.3GHZ Quad Core AM2 Processor w/ nVidia Video
Biostar MCP6PB-M2+ nForce Mainboard with PCI Express
Onboard Vista Ready video and PCI Express expansion slot
2-2GB PC6400 DDR2 Memory
-------------
AMD Phenom II 920 quad core 920 2.8 GHZ processor
Biostar A760G M2+ Socket AM2+ Mainboard
ATI Radeon HD3000 Onboard 512MB Graphics
2-2GB PC6400 DDR2 Dual Channel

Thank you

The phenom II chip is a whole lot better chip than the original Phenom. Plus it has a dedicated gfx card

The second one by far!

I have this board and it's not bad at all.

The second build, but I'd recommend NOT going Biosuck/Biostar. I work at a computer store and we do. not. install. them.
I know people have good experiences with just about all brands, but spend a little bit more on an ASUS, MSI, or Gigabyte board and I promise you'll be much better off.
I would also recommend going socket AM3 as even the bottom end DDR3 kits are a bit speedier than DDR2-800.

Other than that, make sure you get a good power supply (only component that has the ability to kill all your other components)
Good luck and feel free to ask away whatever you might need to know!

Hummmmm, let's see........ 2 x 939 6100, 1 x am2 7025, 1 x am2+ 760G, 1 x am2+ 780G , and 1 x am2+ 790GX XE and the only one that has "died" is the 780 that I didn't do a good job of cleaning up H2O leak. 1 x M378A - CM that is currently driving me nuts with the onboard video.

Actually that is why there are more than one manufacturer, like Ford vs Chey vs Toyota vs whomever! :lol:

BTW second choice........

I already covered myself from that argument

Glad to hear of at least one person who hasn't been burned by BS :drinkers:

Actually in the nine years I've been learning this game, never bought a gigabite mobo........what would you suggest for an "inexpensive" replacement for my Asus if I can't get it going? Needs to be mATX.

Got a link to the board that needs replacement?

http://usa.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=L ... ifications Kinda sorta got it working......just got off work from an unexpected shift so will be crashing and burning. Going to try and work up a thread with the problem(s) to see what I'm doing that may be the issue.

Put the "gigabtte ga-ma78gm-s2h" into a search engine and was sent to CDW.com and found this - This product was discontinued as of Thursday, March 19, 2009.

Thanks for the info guys.....didn't mean to steal this thread!! If I can swing it (meaning getting past the wife! :axe:

) I'm looking at a combo from the egg using a Biostar 790GXE mATX that is just one step below my 790GXE XE. At least I somewhat understand the bios layout on them. :lol:
