ok cool thanks for that thinking of either i7 or i5, with 8gb of ram. since autocad is more cpu intense, i'll see how it fairs with hd4600 graphics, if not i'll shove GPU in

sorry, what i was trying to get at.. Is there are advantage in increasing the memory stick to 2400mhz for more of a preformance boost? or if even the i5 can take advantage of the 2400mhz mem? i.e. if it gives 30% more preformance for the sake of £20/30 more?

bump to last question?

cheers, another question using the intel system, is it worth going to 2400mhz ram?? and if so is there a cheap mobo that will support it? or is it overkill on the selected cpu? just thinking that the system will have a lot of memory usage with autocad work etc.

how about the above? not sure on CPU cooler tho? any ideas?

danny im looking more towards intel now for getting more out of single core. than AMD (although you get more cores with AMD) im guessing Haswell only comes with HD4600 graphics? and that it only supports dual channel mem without going into i7 figures. cpu it does support 2400mhz ram...

danny thanks, been reading up on autocad etc, its more CPU software, with a bit of heavy rendering graphics via GPU. firepro/quadro is more precision/no errors than speed, whereas geforce/radoen is more speed/refresh autocad looks like its not fully multi-core support, so higher the ghz the...

PS, we need an extra machine, since we have an new employee, so i'll replace mine with a newer powerful system.

thanks guys anyone want to throw up some screenshots of a amd or intel system don't care on case, or HDD space. i have always seen GPU embended as being slow, or thats just me being old school. boss is spending, so if i could would be good option to add dedicated gpu, that way i could...

a typical idea, on AMD system. if intel is faster with same price, i might go down that route. i'll await for advice.

Hi guys My business is looking to buy a new pc. i am a surveyor, so a lot of Autocad & 3d civil work. its not a technician office, so prob no need in quadro/firepro etc (unless cheap) its been a few years since ive done any builds so a little out of date myself. have been looking at...

couldn't resist being bottom on the list :D All stock Althon Xp 3200 Barton MSI K7N2 Delta Motherboard 2GB ram 6800GT 256MB

its up and down like a blue a$$ fly :) time for a new system soon...lol

LOL NVIDIA in Blue ATI in Red nvidia is trying but not making ATI move.

april is a good time to upgrade then :D

lol oh no, after that post, i am now hypnotised wtf back on topic... is the Pii555BE easier to unlock to quad? i know 550 is just luck.

awesome, its got more ticks...

yes thats correct. plus is costs more to heat house via GPU than normal central heating solutions, lol

seriously though 480GTX 275W compared to 190W on a 5870 and the only difference the 480gtx can out perform on is the tessellation
