New AMD 550 System!

[PcManiac]

It is not mine, but I got to build it!

Here are the specs for my buddies powerhouse:

AMD 550 X2 3.1 GHZ (you think I would leave that baby stock? nooo... currently it is running as an X4 @ 3.54GHz (stable, haven't pushed it further yet))
Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P (AM3 only)
4GB DDR3 G.Skill PC3 12800 1600MHz
3x 500GB WDC "Blue" Hard Drives in RAID 5
ATI 4670 512MB Graphics Card
RAIDMAX AURORA 2 600W power supply
22x DVD-RW

Running Vista Ultimate x64 right now, but he will be upgrading to Win7 when it comes out.

overall, it is a Sweet system! puts my 4200+ to shame

anyone else using the 550 yet?

I've finally bought a new cruncher to replace my ageing 4200+.

AMD QUAD 10.4Ghz PHENOM 9950 4GB/500GB & 8200 1GB CM
Coolermaster case!

£201 I bid on ebay and won!! It arrives tomorrow. I'll throw XP SP3 at it, I'm not going anywhere near vista.

I am in tears, so very happy for the new owners on both machines. Well done chaps, remember us lonely 4200+ owners still crunching after all these years.
