    Hey I was wondering if a tricked out p6860 with an x9000 cpu at 3ghz will out benchmark a stock 7811. The faster front side bus and newer GPU dont make that much of a difference do they?

    I understand that the 7811 has more potential if upgraded but I am just trying to do a price vs performance analysis on a couple of choices I have.

    thanks

    Yeah youll get higher framerates than the 7811 and will be able to obliterate any game out there.

    true that, and plus, x9000 prices have probably dropped since I last checked

    X9000 price has actually gone up as it's quite hard to get hold of ES X9000s now.

    I'm surprised no one is pointing out the obvious

    "tricket" :p

    Yeah a "tricked" out 6860 will run circles around the stock 7811, but a tricked out 7811 will run circles around the 6860 as well.

    If i'm calculating everything right E-wrecked got about 9ish% over my 6860(at any given point), and with the exception of the LCD panel there is nothing left that i can upgrade. I have as top of the line as you can get with all of the componets you can change.

    So if your wanting to upgrade just get which ever is cheaper. 9% is pretty big deal, but if its going to cost you 10+% more money then you just have to weigh which is a wiser investment for you

    Yeah I didn't want to say anything. Second stupid typo I made in a title. I really wished I could edit the title once posted. Oh well. Laugh it up.

    I got the 6860fx off tiger direct right before they closed down the deal. I also got the x9000 off ebay for 500 bux after a gift card I had so the entire system cost me 1300 bux. I think its a pretty big bang for my buck.
