2004 is when I started learning about PC hardware on a deeper level. It was truly a special time in the PC industry, and I'm glad I was there to experience it
I wonder how the Prescotts are called to be so hot when dual core Athlons can go from 95 to 125 watts. Is it that inefficient to produce more heat than the latter? Also does that apply to 775 Prescotts too?
In 2003 my main system comprised of a tbred b xp1700 on Abit NF7-S 2.0 I think it was (11 x 200) with 2 x 512MB geil one w (bh5) pc4000 memory. Later had the memory in a DFI ultra d skt 939 @ 285MHz cl2.5. Hdd looked the same as in this video - 120GB maxtor diamond max 7.2k rpm. Only have had one p4 system in my life which was a 2.8c @ 3.5 on abit ic7-max 3. Back in the early to mid 2000’s I stuck with AMD mainly for the majority of rigs. Miss those days big style
If you can, and choose to do a bit of digging, you ought to find what the best gamer hardware was before the turn of the century. Hard limit for release dates, aside from the CPU, would be 12/31/2000. December 31st, 2000.
Back in the early to mid 2010's I gamed on 2x2gb ddr3 1333mhz sticks. Wasn't until I got my newer i5-8400 machine that I got 1x8gb ddr4 in it. So my rec would be depending on what you are trying to do 4-8gb ddr3 should do well
Of course it is. The RX 480 was a good mid range-card capable of running most mid 2010s games at 1080p 60fps+ with good settings. The FX-8350 wasn't great when compared to what Intel had to offer but it was still one of the best CPUs AMD had until 2017 when the first Ryzen's were released. I assume you meant 16GB RAM instead of 1.6GB. Even just running Windows 10 64bit wouldn't be that great on 2GB RAM
This was at the time, when Intel chips made no sense to use. I'm sure that even the slowest Athlon 64 2800+ from AMD would smash this hot and slow chip.
In fact, they performed similarly, with Pentium showing slightly better performance. We implied the idea of going with Athlon 64 3000 at the end of the video.
@@attictiertech Athlon 64s are also more versatile, when it comes to GPUs. Both PCIe and AGP boards were common, unlike the socket 478, where PCIe boards are quite rare.
Nostalgia as its brightest Could ve gone with the pantume 4 3.4 ghz it may ve improved gamplay and over all performance Also i guess the platform would run fine on windows 7
Are you telling me that high end CPU would perform much better than mid range CPU? :D Yes, but not that much better, and additional cost would be more than questionable. Point of the video is a Mid-Range build, so we went with such a CPU.
Those AGPs! I love how cheap and affordable Gaming was back in 2005. 😢

I was not even born yet , came to life in 2006.
Would've nice to see if that 6800 LE has working pixel/vertex pipes which are unlockable via Rivatuner.

I had the 6800 Ultra back in its prime,for free actually and i didn't even knew what it was worth back then. Still bummed that card died back in 2010
Ur a best komputer

Love A T T uploads ❤
My Dads desktop PC still runs Windows 7, hes happy as he can access TH-cam, and print things off on the printer via ethernet
and it DOES run Crysis!

Are you sure that ain’t 12th of twetyninevember ?
@@satsumagt5284 Only if it falls on a Monderday.
max ram you can throw in is 3,228MB
so 1024 + 1024 + 1024 + 256 is the actual max
is FX8350, RX480 8gb, 1¸6gb ddr3 enough for mid 2010s AAA gaming
16 gb ddr3 or 1.6 gb ddr3 ? because if its 16 gb yes, but 2 gb ram is not enough for even the 2010's gaming.

@@attictiertech There is no class there, it is the same core with different clock multipliers.
That is definitely not mid-range. Almost high-end.
