Multi-compute may be a very old concept, but in theory it's a lot better, and it's probably where things are headed eventually. So if you design towards a future ideal rather than what's practical now, then that's forward-thinking in my books. I don't know, maybe "forward-thinking" has too much of a positive connotation relative to the meaning I was trying to convey, so that's my bad. | ||

Anyway, it's not like you can't innovate in multiple realms at once. A reimagining of architecture design is mostly independent of manufacturing process advancements.

We're talking two different layers of the future of modern computing then. On January 23 2012 07:38 jacosajh wrote: Lol that reminds me of an EE who wired one of his remodeled rooms.

I mean, the ability to bullshit at such technological levels is crazy. Bottom-liners arent gonna know the difference. I am proud to say that IEEE members hold to the code rather well however. Software Engineers seemingly break their subsection at every corner though. Im not sure why an Electrical Engineer is arguing about AMD being better because it has more cores, however. | ||

If you need a billion cores to smash through something, Bulldozer is actually very good. Anything else, Intel is obviously better but the "more cores = myth" isn't exactly true since it obviously is the reason why Bulldozer is competent at what it is designed for (the significantly higher power draw is a worry but that's another issue). I hoped they'd be able to achieve higher stock clocks, so single threaded performance wouldn't suffer as much, but welp AMD and GloFo never really meet the projected targets. | ||

Then again, I've never been good at sales because I can't convince people to buy something (hard-earned cash or not) I know to be inferior. Even if I am getting something out of it. | ||

Marketing is an alien concept for most companies so its a good thing AMD killed off their dead weight. To be honest, its actually not very difficult if you have an extremely strong product to show off...and what you do is exactly show off the product in real life situations. Most, however, don't and rely on word of mouth to sell products (Dell Ultrasharps, Eizo/NEC monitors though to be fair, these don't need ads to sell) or stupid advertisements that appeal to people who already buy their products (those horrible, horrible Samsung Galaxy SII ads, AMD RETURN OF THE FX ads). | ||

It has to be reinforced with tangible results (eventually) though, so it only holds up temporarily. Like Toyota had all of those defects in recent years. If Toyota continued that, it'd be a matter of time (maybe long) before the image of reliability associated with Toyota is shattered. Edit: I never actually did see those videos anywhere but on YouTube -_- I would've thought they would be in more places. | ||

What is your budget? 600$ but he mostly just wants to be able to stream on a good quality, say 720p'ish? the cheaper the better ofc What is your resolution? 1920x1080 What are you using it for? gaming + streaming for long hours What is your upgrade cycle? 3-4 years When do you plan on building it? now Do you plan on overclocking? no Do you need an Operating System? yes Do you plan to add a second GPU for SLI or Crossfire? no Where are you buying your parts from? wherever that ships to korea, ideally he would like to buy all the parts from 1 site just to simplify things | ||

Actually I'm not even sure if people have reported satisfactory places to purchase parts in Korea. | ||

Actually I'm not even sure if people have reported satisfactory places to purchase parts in Korea. i can be more budget i dont know if if matters but i play on mediums setttings on star 2 and i can order online 2 it dosent have to be a store in korea specifically please help me im so chobo at this  | ||

Any socket LGA 1155 motherboard -- NOT socket 1156 Any 4GB DDR3 RAM or more -- NOT DDR2 Any SATA hard drive, preferably a 7200 rpm model -- NOT IDE; SATA2 or SATA3 is irrelevant Any graphics card roughly HD 6570 or better -- see here for rough idea Any SATA optical drive Case Power supply -- must be ATX form factor for typical cases Windows Scroll back in this thread for examples of builds, except you don't need a graphics card as good just to play on low or medium. Like I said, I don't know what online even ships to Korea. Sorry. | ||

http://www.travelwireasia.com/1539/destination-techno-mart-buying-a-computer-in-seoul/ The blog is a few years old, but from what it sounds, it appears that if you bring a translator to techno mart or Yongsan and adhere to the parts list above, an engineer will build a computer for you on the spot (useful if you don't know how to build one yourself). As long as you make sure you get one of the 5 processors identified by Myrmidon above (and NOT, say, an i5-xxx with a 3-digit number), you should be able to pretty much pick the cheapest options for motherboard, graphics card that meets the above standard, case, hard drive of sufficient size and 7200 rpm... essentially the cheapest of everything but processor and probably power supply. A non-overclocked i5-2xxx with a run of the mill instead of hot-rod graphics card shouldn't need any special cooling setup, a normal case should do. Review the last 5-10 pages and you should be able to compile a list of decent power supply brands, I suppose. Note that I have no actual knowledge of buying anything in South Korea (at least, not from the last 2 decades), so this is a guess to use as best you can. If try the method above, you should probably also remember to make a special request to have windows 7 installed with english... er... spanish... as the native language. Edit: For additional graphics card consideration, use the card hierarchy in the list above and note that a 6770 should be able to do high and I think ultra graphics for SC2, so that definitely should be the top end of the range if you're running up against the budget. Since the stores you might shop at if you don't order on line will have lists of available parts (probably with gaps), you should bring multiple accepted options with you in your notes. | ||

But a major company, HP, Sony, etc. As long as the processor is decent a 720p stream on any i5 2300 and up will be possible. You may not get the best ram or motherboard, but if your not overclocking I would say it would be easier. especially with the language barrier. So just tell artosis your looking for something with an i5 processor 2nd generation, plus a good thing about getting a prebuilt because they usually have 2-3 year part warranties and the only thing really lacking is the graphics card, So like Myr said you want to get at least an ATI 6570 or up. | ||
