PC Specs

Guys ,

Good day!
Mga bro, ask lang me ng magandang specs ng Computer, Balak ko ng magpalit ng pc sa bahy. Im stil using Amd duron. Max 7 and Cad 2006 pa gamit ko. Whats the best specs ng pc? Availble here sa atin. Tnx.

bro d higher d better un nga lng mhal mxdo...mag core2quad ka...mobo mo sli na support upto 8 gig na ram at 2 pwede ikabit na video card...gigabyte na bord yun...

Tnx sir vhin, pwede malamn yung complete specs? tnx

be wise and pickie in setting up your pc. search mo lang sa net re: core2quad setup so you'll have a better view at sa gusto mo specs unto your computer,,,, okie

kung medyo budget ka sa processor try AMD tri-core..

Depende sa budget pero for rendering mas madaming cores mas ok. Di mo kelangan ng multi-gpu setup sli or crossfire, kahit gamer ka gagawin mo lang un pag mahilig ka magbenchmark or naguumapaw pera mo at nangangati kang gastusin. At least 4gb ram tapos 64bit vista para masaya

Intel quad core pag mejo maluwag budget mo lalo na kung nago-overclock ka, phenom x4 kung mejo budget limited pero pwede mo pa din ma-overclock decently un kung ung recent motherboar models kukunin mo.

Di naman nagkakalayo ang presyo ng Intel at AMD.. It depends pa rin kung ilan GHZ and CACHE per L1 and L2 ang prices. hindi kelangan ng SLI sa videocard kung workstation ka. OVERCLOCK not recommended in 3dmax lalamunin nia ang RAM mo kaya kapag nagrerender ka magcrashed down ang vray at max.. don't get vista muna pre...daming isyu sa quad cores processors..pabayaan mo muna lumabas ang SP2 and SP3 ng vista bago ka magdecide magvista...

Yes unreasonable overclocking by a novice not recommended, pero kung alam mo na ginagawa mo walang masisira. I've been running my system overclocked for the last two years, using it for gaming, rendering, benchmarking, and the usual web surfing and watching videos. I've replaced the cpu, mobo, rams and gpu not because these parts failed but because I upgraded: just always make sure the psu is up to the task, madaming tao (sa buong mundo) walang paki sa specs ng psu samantalang pag nasira yun pwedeng damay lahat.

If money is not a problem buy the best Quad from Intel or wait for nehalem and run everything at stock for stability. Personally I have no problems OC'ing, using Vista64 SP1 and 3D Max 2009+Vray 1.5 SP2 and if you're using DDR2-800 modules you usually don't have to overclock the rams, they can run at stock.

If you want to go AMD then wait for the new procs this Dec08/Jan09.

Thanks for the info insurgent. these are very helpful. welcome to cgp!

Thanks sir bokkins, di ako magaling sa 3d sa ngayon pero mahilig ako kumalikot ng pc systems so dito muna ko makikigulo hehehe

I've been overclocking my processors no problem.. yeah for novice not recommended. benchmarking? who's on the lead? AMD or Intel?? Listen to the PRO

In ddr2 800 can you get a timing 4-4-4-12 without overclocking?

Depende sa binili mong ram sir, ung cheap crucial ko ang jedec spec nya 5-5-5-18@1.8v pero EPP (enhanced performance profile) nya 4-4-4-12@2.2v or ddr2-1000 5-5-5-15@2.2v din. So kahit alin sa dalawa gamitin ko, jedec or epp, it's still running the memories within spec, no overclocking just setting the right voltage

Pwede ka pa din namang gumamit ng value ram na ddr2-800, kahit hindi mo ma-aabot ung "tighter" timings may significant increase pa din sa performance dahil ung fsb saka cpu clock tumaas. Ung underwhelming 25% oc ko also gave me ~26% less sa rendering time without tweaking the memory timings.

@sir cadens: simply going to quad core rig (amd/intel) from a duron will give you huge performance gains that you don't need to OC especially if you're uncomfortable with it.

simple comparison nung nag-upgrade ako:

C2D @ 3.2GHz oc'ed = 31m 9.7s render time
C2Q @ 2.4GHz stock = 19m 33.9s render time

Wala pa palang nagsa-suggest ng specs so mauna na ko, hindi specific kasi wala kang binigay na budget


CPU - sa ngayon best value sa quad core ung Q6600, ok sana ung newer models (Q9xxx) kaso masyado silang mahal para small gains, but these new models are cooler and less power hungry.


Motherboard - P45 chipset sir, wag ka papabulag sa mga mamahaling motherboard na daming features na di mo kailangan. Brands na ok para sakin asus, msi, gigabyte, biostar saka foxconn. Ung mga cheaper brands pwede din siguro pero wala akong experience sa ganun and usually cheaper brands = cheaper components tulad ng capacitors etc.


Memory - Sa value rams, kingston, sa pagkakaalam ko lifetime warranty naman kingston. Kung gusto mo mag overclock atleast DDR2-800 pero kung hindi naman pwede na ung DDR2-667. 2x2gb sticks dahil recommended ko at least 4gb ram mura naman DDR2 ngayon e hehe.


Graphics Card - kahit di ka gamer kelangan mo pa din research to, madami kasi mahilig manloko na shops lalo na kung di mo alam kung anong gusto mong bilhin. Napansin ko din mas mahal nvidia cards dito sa pinas pero hindi ibig sabihin nun mas maganda so focus ako sa ATI card.

4670 512mb panalo tong card na to for 4,000 pesos. Wag ka papauto sir pag binobola ka tapos nagbabanggit ng mga 128bit or 256bit, or 512mb ram and 1gb ram, lahat ng specs na to depende sa architecture ng chip and madami-dami na nabobola sa ganitong raket (bayaw ng kuya ko, di kasi nagtatanong). Pwede na din siguro ung Nvidia na 9500GT pero kung maglalaro ka ng mga games masyadong mabagal un.


Power Supply (PSU) - mukhang ok na ung mga HEC branded na psu, pero kung gusto mo talaga reliable quality recommend ko ung Corsair brand, ung 450w na model nasa 3,300 pesos lang. Pero wag mo sayangin pera mo sa mga 1000w models hehehe, unless gusto mo mag Tri-SLI or Quad Crossfire


Hard drives - paborito ko ung western digital ko na 640GB, mataas platter density kaya mas onti platters na kelangan so mas malamig ung hard drive kahit mas malaki capacity. Pero di ka magkakamali basta bibilhin mo WD or Seagate wag lang Maxtor, pinaka-maingay kong naging hard drive maxtor saka mas madalas masira. Ung Samsung mukhang maganda din ung drives nila lalo na ung F1 series pero di pa ko nakakasubok.


Optical drives - sa ngayon Pioneer lang binibili ko, basta ang pinaka-ayaw kong brand na nabili ung Asus hehe, di kami magkasundo.


Haba ng post ko, madaldal kasi ako pag ganito usapan hehe.

additional info:
kung gusto ng mabilis na hard drive get the Western Digital Raptor..medyo may kamahalan pero sulit... or you can get low gb capacity about 160gb SATA then raid0+ or raid1+ search nio na lang sa google un difference AFAIK raid1+ was safer. ramdam ang bilis lalo na sa loading nga mg programs and saving..kaya nga lang kapag failure harddrive mawawala lahat ng datas mo..pero bibihira lang mangyari un kung nasa right temp un comp mo..

video card: kung seryoso ka sa workstation or rendering go for quadrofx370 or quadrofx570 designed for workstation(rendering,3d apps)..Gaming cards iba architecture nia pagdating sa modelling.

Verify your mobo first if it can handles 2.2v memories,some motherboard are not supplying 2.2v for memories.
