Leadtek GF3 Ti500 or Gainworld GF4 Ti4200

[S-Gray]

the GF3 is worth £138 on Ebuyer, and the GF4 is £142, so there isnt much of a price difference, and i know that there has been discussions on these 2 cards before, but which one is better?

 

[Summo]

Ti4200! Do it!

 

[S-Gray]

thats One for 4200, anymore? heh

 

[Embattle]

4200...since its easy to oc to 4400 standards.

Okely Dokely, i'll add the GF4 to my Shopping List..

My current Shopping List is below:

AMD Athlon XP1700+ 1.47GHz Boxed Inc Heatsink & Fan
Gainward Ti4200 GeForce4 64Mb Retail Boxed
256MB Memory DDR (Double Data Rate) Memory PC266 ECC CL25
IBM Deskstar 120GXP 60GB IDE 7200RPM Hard Disk - OEM
JNC 4H72(A) ATX Full Midi Tower Case with 300watt PSU P4 Ready Front USB
BTC 16x10x40 Burnproof IDE Internal CD-RW Drive - Retail Box

===

All that cost' £407 from Ebuyer, is it worthit? considering i thought it would be double the price..

hmm, for the LMA-II and high speed quincunx Ti4200 all the way!

Ti4200 Lucky person! wish I hadn't bought meh GF3 soo quick now

I've never tried a JNC case for around the same price you can get a Virgo which I've always found to be great to work on.

If I recall correctly Ebuyer are knocking them out at £25 and Stak at £21.50.

The BTC drives are ok but I think Lite-On have a more established reputation, for just a little more you could get a Liteon 32x12x40 Smartburn IDE Internal CD-RW Drive - Retail Box. I guess it depends how many CD's you're going to burn.

I only want the JNC case because its a cheapy one, but also looks nice, the reason i aint spending more on one is because i wanna modify it (Add Windows, maybe spray paint, and add a few Neon Lights on it)

yeh, but youd say the same when the gf5 comes out, so you would end up never buying anything.

Bad choice, because of this.

 

[S-Gray]

yeah.. i do recall a thread made on this.. theres a chance that HD wont be at the show tomorrow, so i may go for a 60gb Maxtor or whatever.. as long as its under £70'ish

 

[S-Gray]

Right, as i said, i purchased the IBM Deskstar (Model #: IC35L040AVVA07-0) but does this Hard Drive still have heat problems like the GXP?

Is it recommended this HD be on for long hours?

I did check the Net, but it was all in Russian Chars, which isnt any use to me..

 

[old.Cask]

IBM Deskstar (Model #: IC35L040AVVA07-0)

That's exactly the same HD as the 60gb I bought about 4 months ago.

It's at 31'C after constant use for about 48 hours. Haven't had any problems with it yet although I think I've just tempted fate.

 

[S-Gray]

ah good, thats made me more joyous

 

[Embattle]

Don't worry SG
