Athlon FX-60

hey im gonna get a clevo d900k and i because it is compatible.. i was wondering if the athlon fx-60 dual core is really as good as the reviews and tests say?? does anyone have it?? good for gaming?? thanks..

 

The FX-60 is still considered a high-end CPU, its still performs well against the desktop Core 2 Duo's up to E6700.

It still dominated pretty much all of the mobile CPU's.

However, I would not recommend the D900K, not because its a bad notebook... rather its getting outdated (Socket 939, DDR1, old modular videocard design) and about to be phased out for the next Gen Clevo DTRs... like the Clevo D900C.

I would strongly recommend to either get the D900C or wait for the upcoming M570RU, which are newly designed and the technology would be able to have a better future in upgrades.

And can you say... Quad-cores for the new Clevo DTR's....both Intel and AMD

 

yea i like the D900C.. but a barebone starts at around 2000.. wow.. and alienware's version of them start at i think 3000.. if i do get the d900k then i would put it 2 gbs ram, the fx-60, the go 7950GTX, and a few other things, but that is a pretty powerful combo,, anyone disagree.. i mean considering that my budget is $2000.. any other options??

 

if your budget is around $2000, I would recommend also to look at:
- Clevo M570U (a.k.a. Sager 5760) fully loaded for around $2000
--- read Clevo Guide for resellers.

- Dell e1705 (aka. Inspiron 9400) w/ 7900GS
- Gateway NX860XL w/ 7900GS

Of course the 7900GS is not real match for the 7950GTX's, but they are still bang for the buck with a budget under $2000

 

yea i actually looked at the D900C and i am leaning more towards it because of the 4 GB of ram possibility and the sli possiblity and the higher ram speed.. haha i could keep going, but i would have to stretch my budget.. maybe sell my 360??(who needs it) haha.. im gonna see if i can stretch my budget.. but i what are some other specs on the D900C?? thanks!!
