Re: [LUG] LUG Supercomputer for £650

 

> your £650 would be better spent on 1 computer.
and after poking around ebuyer, £650 could get you:
athlon xp 64 x2 6000+
8 gigs ram
geforce 8500GT (512MB)
and 2x 250gb drives raid 0/1 as you choose, though for £20 more they
could be 500gig drives.

prune back the spec a bit and you could even get a monitor, case,
keyboard and mouse :P Knocking off 4 gigs of ram would be a good start
if you're going to be playing windoze games.

Luckily I don't have the cash to spare just now.
