Asus P6T SE, its the third flavor for P6T series, improved release for its value i7 platform.. having nice perks..

there are already value DDR3 out in the market, i guess building socket 1366 will be a bliss nowadays..

and piece of advice, don't rely on saleman/technician, read reliable online reviews on this products, before spending your cash.. every peny will be worth.

Thats what I'm doing dpxyl, I trusted more listening here in CGP or online than those pretending smart technicians...anyway, if i7 ang ginamit ko, do i need to use 64 or 32 or it doesnt matter?? pwede ko pa rin bang magamit yung Video Card ko GE Force NX8500 GT 512e??

as long as your graphics cards is not agp, any pcie video card will do..

64bit, 'nuff said..

guys checks this out

8buckets po ba ang i7 sir? how about amd opteron 16buckets??? ilang buckets po xa?

AMD Opteron is the counterpart of Intel Xeon, workstation procs.. Phenom X4 ang 8 threads.. available na i5 ngaun and p55 chipset boards, yung 32nm Westmere and Sandy bridge sa 2010..

gamit ko sa opis i7 cpu 975 3.33 ghz 17gb ddr3 ram 64 bit.
nvidia quaddro fx 3800 at kung ano ano pa. prang kotse na yata itong rig ko sa opis. 21k sgd including software na max2010 64bit and autocad 64 bit
ps 64 bit. tas dalawang lcd 23 inc na samsung monitor. mas mabilis sya lalao na kung ung settings mo sa rendering eh pang dualcore. 2 thumbs up ako sa i7.

sir pakunat...halimaw yang spec nyo.....21k? 21000sgd? tama ba? kotse na tlaga ang presyo nyan!!!!!!nakakalula!!!

Again Thanks so much Guys!!!

our office bought a core 2 quad 2.83 ghz cpu, 4 gb ram, 1 gb gigabyte geforce 9800 gt video card, gigabyte mobo supports 4 gb ddr2 ram, 500 gb hard disk 22'' lg wide screen monitor, price 4,800 SAR...I want to buy a high performance pc and how much it will cost in SAR?, the problem is I can't find like those specs above here in my place, with shipping how much its cost?

Not sure bro how much will it cost you..Di din ako sure if they are shipping in Saudi.Try to call this number +973 17744707

Hi Jeff!

Sa high end bracket mo, I just notice that you only replace the peripherals and the board. Actually there's a 940 for the i7 as well as the extreme 940. Yun ang high end. Pero ok na yung low end bro... Buy 2 low ends then isang LCD lang tapos switch din para i-DISTRIBUTE RENDER mo na lang... You'll have 16 buckets moving around! Hehehe

Jeff, if you can wait 4months more they will release core i9, 6 core, 12threads, hopefully baka december they will release its market preview...

@ sa specs panalo na yan, advanti bahrain may release Ati5890 rather than 295 na mas mahal, get the Sapphire vanilla or Toxic version... i got almost the same specs ng mid-end setup mo.. get more amount of ram rather than high speed (DDR3-1333mhz > DDR3-1600) so you can maximize it to a whooping 12gb pa, overkill na kasi 1600-1850mhz rams for rendering, saka sobrang dali lang achieve ng 1600mhz.

@ Asus Rampage 2, i overclocked my i7 to 3.6ghz and ram to 1600mhz, very stable and solid board, im using it 24/7...

nagkita yata kayo ni Jworks last time dun... tawaran mo pa bibigay ng mga kabayan natin yan with discount.

@Ronski-Thanks men for dropping by..Hmmm ok bro consider ko din suggestion mo.depende din kse sa availability ng mga parts dito.Anyway ill ask you again especially sa DR.Ok men thanks ulit..

@archi ram-yup bro sa advanti nga..Thanks bro..

@dpxyl-thanks sir Jes..Im leaning nga towards the mid end. I was there yesterday evening para mag downpayment kso naubusan sila ng i7 processor so sabi sa kin ni Aren baka by next week pa daw sila magkakaroon and he 'll call me asap na may dumating.And he told me as well na marami daw bagong darating by next week kaya either bumaba yung price ng specs na kukunin ko or baka daw mas gusto ko na yung mga bagong stock. We'll see.. Anyway eto yung na finalize namin which cost me 830bhd with discount na yun.. Can you suggest??/

HAF casing
NVIDIA 2GB videocard
12 GB ram-same nung sa mid end kso pinadagdagan ko lng ng another 6GB..

Thanks in advance...

@jeff
panalo na yan sir.. ang sarap nyan sa office, pansin ko parang mas mabilis yung i7 kaysa dual xeon dito sa office.. hassle kasi mga workstation namin dito sa opisina, lahat sirain., nakaabang din ako sa bagong stock nina aren, maganda price drop nila kasi.

yung padating na Ati5870 mas bago yun sa nvidia295 and Dx11 compliant na para pagdating ng Windows 7.. yung memory ng videocard, importante lang kung gagamit ka ng malaking display (26~30+" displays)

sa hardisk, meron sila WD black (500gb and 1tb), mas okie yung kaysa Seagate 7200.11..

HAF casing, mesh front sya kaya pasukin ng alikabok.. pasilip ng bagong rig pag tapos na.. abangan namin sa SMYR hehe

Thanks sir Jess sa info..You mean it doesnt matter kung 1 GB lang na Ati5870 yung kukunin ko??Wala bang epekto yun sa viewport?? My reason why im going to get 2GB Video card kse somebody told me that if you have 2GB mas mabilis daw sa viewport.It can handle like 50million polys solid rotate sa perspective view na smooth pa din.i dont know im not really sure sa function ng video card..Any thought about this??
Ill go for WD black..thanks sa info..
HAF casing-Aren suggested this casing.. Maganda daw kse ang airflow nito.I dont know. What do you think>???

Cge bro try kong i post to sa SMYR.hehehehe..Ang gaganda kse ng rigs nyo.Ako naka quad pa din with orange casing.hahhaha...

@ARCHITHEKTHURA

kaso sir, alikabok nga lang ang kalaban mo dyan sa HAF. hehehe....
