		| Buying a new computer can be a confusing process if you're not techno-literate. The first step is to identify what your computer needs are, and roughly how much you're willing to spend.

 Budget PC Benchmarks: 3DMark06, FarCry
 3DMark06 is 
the worldwide standard in advanced 3D game performance benchmarking. A 
fundamental tool for every company in the PC industry as well as PC users and 
gamers, 3DMark06 uses advanced real-time 3D game workloads to measure PC 
performance using a suite of DirectX 9 3D graphics tests, CPU tests, and 3D 
feature tests. 3DMark06 tests include all new HDR/SM3.0 graphics tests, SM2.0 
graphics tests, AI and physics driven single and multiple cores or processor CPU 
tests and a collection of comprehensive feature tests to reliably measure next 
generation gaming performance today.

    | CPU: | Points | Ranking |  
    | Foxconn 975X7AA-8EKRS2H 
      (975X 200/667) | 1590 |    |  
    | Athlon64 X2

    | Athlon64 X2 
      5000+/GF6150 (200/800 Onboard Video) | 1976 |    |  
    | Athlon64 X2 
      5000+/GF6150 (200/800 7800GTX) | 1971 |    |  
    |  Sempron 3600+/GeForce 6150 (200/533 Onboard 
      Video) | 778 |    |  
    |  Sempron 3600+/GeForce 6150 (200/533 
    7800GTX) | 781 |    |  
    |  Sempron 3600+/GeForce 6150 (200/533 7600GT) | 781 |    |  The Albatron motherboard's onboard GeForce 6150 videocard 
is no speedster no matter what processor backs it up. The scores from the 
systems with integrated video are very close and there is no way you'd be able 
to tell the difference between the systems. When a standalone GeForce 7800GTX is 
installed, performance between the systems is very close! Even with the 7600GT 
videocard, the Sempron 3600+ is very competitive. 
 Real-time 
editing, bump mapping, static lights, network system, integrated physics system, 
shaders, shadows, and a dynamic music system are just some of the state 
of-the-art features that the CryENGINE offers. The game was set to Ultra quality 
and the Ubisoft's Regulator demo was run.

    | Foxconn 975X7AA-8EKRS2H 
      (975X 200/667) | 149.91 |    |  
    | Athlon64 X2 
      5000+/nForce 570 SLI (200/800) | 171.25 |    |  
    | Athlon64 X2 
      5000+/nForce 590 SLI (200/800) | 169.19 |    |  
    | Athlon64 X2 
      5000+/GF6150 (200/800 Onboard Video) | 87.59 |    |  
    | Athlon64 X2 
      5000+/GF6150 (200/800 7800GTX) | 170.27 |    |  
    |  Sempron 3600+/GeForce 6150 (200/533 Onboard 
      Video) | 78.09 |    |  
    |  Sempron 3600+/GeForce 6150 (200/533 
    7800GTX) | 127.59 |    |  
    |  Sempron 3600+/GeForce 6150 (200/533 7600GT) | 114.48 |    |  In FarCry we can see that the onboard GeForce 6150 is 
able to play the game at lower resolutions without much difficulty. In fact 
you'd probably have a difficult time telling the difference between the GeForce 
7600GT or GeForce 7800GTX. At higher resolutions the framerates will be more 
noticeable, and right now that GeForce 7600GT seems to be a pretty decent 
value.
