8 Milo peng per second ... Thread XIX - All Hail - LOBANG KING!

:sweat: those are mighty high demands. Let's put AV & FW aside.

Garion's rig is almost the same as Errz. But for today's standards, the updated rig would be:

Intel QX6600
Gigabyte P35-DS3R
2GB-4GB DDR 800 rams (CL4 or CL5) latter being more expensive
HDD SATA cage to hold 4 HDD or 5 HDD in 2x 5.25 slot (kind of hard to use back PATA as newer mainboards are all SATA, and PATA is provided only for legacy CDROM/Writers)
Graphics (again up to you.... )

Then comes the headache with TV card:
For TV i'd go for WinTV by hauppage. Go for at least the one with hardware acceleration. If suay suay .. you opt for one without it ... its going to eat up CPU cycles (LR & CS3 problems slowing down again)

PSU ... anything but iCute/Antec. Seasonic / Silverstone would be good.

If you're behind a NAT router at home - no need firewall. Only AV.

Wah lao... then all my pata hdd all liao. :cry: :cry:

Is there an option to use the PATA for HDDs and link the CD/DVD drives externally?

WinTV card.. I hav liao. Good enuf and no need to tax the system more.

Need advice on Graphics... cannot afford 8800... but tinkin of 8600 how's tat for 2D intensive multi-tasks? (all my programs are still eating up 2D processing cycles)

Firewall not an issue so far... I've check my tasks manager... mostly processor is idle.. so it means lack of RAM or graphic bottle neck.

SHIOK RITE :sweatsm: BBB!!!.. MTL :bsmilie:

make sure you wack 16GB RAM hor!

Lucky I running OS X in my brain, virus proof :sticktong

:cry: :cry:

really tot RDRAM would flourish, my system speed was excellent then, even with slower CPU.

don't you just hate it when you "invested" in the wrong thing.

I can understand your feeling. It happen to me too . Was so mad throw a few hundred $$$ things in the dustbin within a day :cry:

here cheap a not har ?

thanks... I actually tried searching Sg ebay and dun hav... never tried US ebay before. :think:

Its the sad truth as technology advances. I'm not touching my system anymore till end of the year. If it breaks - it breaks, probably just source 2nd hand parts for it.

Unless you can manage to find a bridge where by it'll work with your RAID array. But even that would slow the entire SATA array down. Garion already kenna... cos he wanted to use back his PATA drive (until recently - it died :bsmilie: - force to upgrade to SATA)

8600 still decent - provided you're not gaming. 2D should be good enough - recommended - Leadtek or XFX

I seriously hope your TV card has got hardware acceleration... else like i mentioned earlier - its going to cause slow downs as well as the system decodes real time the TV and you're running CS / LR together :sweat:

See... OS X wor ... got do incremental updates from Apple or not? .. later kenna exploit then you know :sticktong

i think already kenna exploit by iphone liao ...

BBB huat ah!

waiting for let-bird lah

simi let-bird? ... don't anyhow say bird bird.. later bird guru come in scold u ar.... abuse bird bird... :bsmilie: :sticktong

PATA.. no worries if it dies, I've got about 7 of them lying around. excluding the 5 in my PC. :bsmilie:

Yup.. my TV card is this. It says hardware encoders, but dunnoe if got hardware acceleration.

won't lah. He will feel happy and high with I start showing him leaves photos :lovegrin:

let-bird not so soon lah.. resources all diverted to iPhone.. might be buggy also. :bigeyes: :bsmilie:
