As many of you already know, I got a new rig. And this is it:

-Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz
-ASUS P5K-Deluxe
-GeForce 8600 GT 256MB
-2GB DDR2 Kingston RAM, PC2- 5300
-Some 80GB SATA HDD
-Onboard sound
-NEAT case with temp display
-Old DVD burner and the old modem.

Now I am ready to conquer the world. Beware.

Damn, I guess I'm the only one left now with a "prehistoric" rig here then

80GB ? 320 min or get out
Is it a full new rig or just the previous one with upgraded hardware?
How much paid for the q6600, btw ? Any significant advantage over regular duallies clocked the same?

PS : new rig? pics or it didnt happen
PS2: you know the way to the screenshot threads

Only 80GB cause I already have those two old HDDs... the 80GB and the 40GB. And it's a NEW rig, everything's new 'cept for the modem and the DVD burner.

The whole costed around 980 euros (2600 reais here). The Q6600 was CHEAPER than the mobo. The processor was 700 reais and the mobo about 900 or more! :o About "benchmarks", can't say anything yet... I only know it's way faster than the previous one!

And hmm, I have no camera to take the pics :/ but i'll post some CPU-Z shots soon!

Nice rig... I guess mines starting to become quite dated. But it'll do me until it dies.

I don't often demand much out of my PC, at most, encoding a DVD or playing a game (if I get the time) - and it does those fine. But most of the time it's just browsing, listening to music, chatting on MSN, with downloads running and craploads of stuff open. I have a "19, and use it for watching TV/movies quite a lot, since my family are couch potatoes and I can never get near the TV.

It does everything I want it to, and that's what counts ^^

oO Nice rig mire, wanna trade? You can have my crappy AMD64 x 2 3800+ @ 2.0 Ghz, 1 GB of ram, Geforce 6150LE rig and you can mail me your new rig in return.

Mine's still pretty good even though it's starting to show it's age.
