[QUOTE=MTMod;18226660]Exactly. I'm never going to be mapping or 3d modeling.
No. My budget isn't big enough for the 955.[/QUOTE]
you can get the i5 if you just get the 300 case, which is perfectly fine

$900 is your budget?
Yes, you can.
He got that case? That simple box? [ATCS 840]
Come on man, if you pay 200 on a case get something with pizazz.
You got a solid black box, for $200.
And you guys gave me shit for sticking to the stacker. lol
You can unlock the cores of the 550 to make it a quad core. Most reviews though say it helps if you have a Gigabyte mobo to unlock. Getting the 550 saves some cash.
[QUOTE=Doritos_Man;18200849]Ya the 550 is not a true tri core (produced with three cores)
They disable one core, or if a core on one of there quad cores is defective, they sell it as a quad core.[/QUOTE]
It is the same with the duals, except it is 2 cores are disabled instead of one....

simple, well built and functional cases are infinitely better than thousands of 1337 EL EE DEEZ. Lian Li would like a word with you
Except Lian Li has been producing some retarded LED-filled cases lately.

I think I'd prefer the case that looks badass and has the option for LEDs and gizmos over the case that for the same price offers none of those same options.
The only advantage I see there is if he wants to fit it into a cabinet of that dimension.
It's about quality. If you buy the same case that has LEDs and shit all over it, you're going to have terrible quality. The ATCS 840 is extremely high quality in comparison to something like an Antec 1200 or equivalent.

if you look at an Antec P__ and tell me it ain't better than some LED filled crap then you have the mental age of 7 and talking to you is a waste of time
[editline]11:29PM[/editline]
and "gizmos"? I can't think of a single case that has "gizmos"

Come on all major manufacturers should included blue leds. They make the computer run cooler. Right? [/sarcasm]
Umm everyone knows blue is the coolest of the colors.
I don't see any advantage [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119187&cm_re=ATCS_840-_-11-119-187-_-Product]This[/url] has over [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119122&cm_re=stacker_830-_-11-119-122-_-Product]This[/url]
Unless you like solid black boxes.
They cost the same and all the 830 has is one blue LED fan and it looks great and has great quality. Why are you even comparing those? I'm talking comparing the ATCS 840 to something like [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133080]this[/url].
[editline]07:38PM[/editline]
Seriously, why on earth would you even consider taking that Xaser crap over the 830 or ATCS 840.
Looks like we are arguing for nothing, I didn't even see that Xaser thing before...
I thought he got the ATCS [which I don't really like, I was saying I would take the 830 any day]
The ATCS is actually a better case in terms of features and cooling than the Stacker.
What features?

Really? Because I ordered a new motherboard ([url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131402]this one[/url]) in hopes of having a greater chance of unlocking those two cores. Should I stick with the Gigabyte?
Even if you do manage to unlock the other two cores there's a good chance that they'll be unstable.
Dangerously unstable?
You won't be able to boot/you'll crash.
they disable them for a reason, why does no one see this
Scary. Thanks for the heads up.
[QUOTE=reapaninja;18252970]they disable them for a reason, why does no one see this[/QUOTE]
They disable them so they can have 1 line running instead of having a Quad core line, a Tri Core Line and a Dual. They send them to Germany were they diffuse the extra cores...

What?
They make all Phenom 2's Quad's then they send them to Germany were they diffuse 1 or 2 cores......
herp de derp they make something then disable parts and sell it cheaper and thus less profit, it's all a conspiracy AMD only make one CPU they just disable parts of them herp de derp

i unlocked my X3 and its fine @ 3.4 and my friend unlocked his X2. i used the same board as you. if it doesnt work, drop it to a dual. if it does, you saved like a hundred bucks. make sure you have the f2c bios on it though.
