My m8s was thinking of getting the Ultima SLi (AMD Athlon 64 4000 Dual DDR System), do you reckon if I was polite they would change the CPU into the AMD 4400 and make the hard drive bigger?

yes very good, mines running faster than specced at the moment.Turbanation said:Is the GeIL 2GB DDR PC3200 CAS2.5 memory any good?
Crossfire appears to work very well and as such is a viable option. SLI doesn't work with all software and is OS dependant ( doesn't work under 2K for instance ).GAMEfreak said:agreed. it has more to offers as the benefits of SLi and crossfire dont seem lage enough as of yet. when we see 2 cards working at 100% of their capacity, it will become truly useful, but until then single cards are the way to go.
Turbanation said:Alright then I send them a message. What do you guys then of it, good value for money or outdated?.
Richdog said:You could get much better specs for the money if you build it yourself. SLI is pretty inefficient and wasteful imo, there is no reason whatsoever not to be spending £345 on an ATI X1900 now as they are widely available and stupidly powerful.
It's a nice rig, but I personally wouldn't compromise spec just for the convenience of having someone build it for me.
BigDom said:Just by way of comparision. Taken the spec of the OcUK pre-built, changed Mobo, CPU and Graphics.. end result better performing system for the SAME price .
Putting a PC together isn't that hard and worth it when you look at the effective savings.
