Another Build..Gaming..Just Check it over

[Chazell29]

Sorry, I feel like I'm raiding the Build your Own PC board with new builds, I got one that I'm working on for a Christmas present, and now I have mine. I built my PC in like June, and now with games like Crysis and Call of Duty 4, my computer is already slow =( This build is for games, and I want it to last a while.


So, my friend said he'd gladly take it off my hands (for $ of course) so I decided to build a new one, and here is what I've got.

The DG33TL is not really a good foundation for a gaming build. It's more of a business motherboard. If you can get a combo with a DP35 series board, that would be a better bet.

Oh really? I don't really know anything about it. I think its a set deal, like if you work for somewhere that sells Intel computers, you enroll in this program through an Intel Rep, and you do certain quiz's and stuff to get enough points to be eligible to buy the package.

The DG33 is a micro ATX board with onboard video. It only has 3 expansion slots - a PCI-Ex16, a PCI-Ex1, and a legacy PCI. It has no parallel, serial, or PS/2 ports, and no floppy controller. If a peripheral isn't USB or Firewire, it's not going to plug in. It cannot be overclocked. If you can live with all that, it's a good board.
