Cheat Engine

Got ~1k or so to spend.

Only buying Motherboard/CPU/RAM/hard drives.

I have 2x GTX 460's that I'll be keeping, a Corsair TX850, and a Cosmos 1000 case. (Along with the other peripherals) I have a 7200rpm 2TB "storage" drive I'll be using, but I want to get an OS drive or two (for RAID 0).

So for $1,000... CPU+Motherboard+RAM+HDD for a system that will run pointer scans fast as hell? Basically, what's the bad-assest CPU for Cheat Engine? I'll definitely be running 16GB or 32GB of RAM.

Can also consider an SSD if that would make a big difference.

Any thoughts?

disk is only used if you dont have enough ram. since 4/8gb ram is enough for
most games that wont make a difference.

scanning relys on cpu speed, but even more on ram speed, since cpu cache is relatively small.

I can scan any game (ex. bf3 or d3) for unknown, then changed, in less than a second with my pc. (and its relatively old, Q6600 4gb ram)

So where do you have scan-speed problems right now? (in what programs)

edit: If you are really having problems with scanning speed right now I think your problem is that some parts of the target program or CEs buffer are stored in the swap file (how much ram do you have right now?)

IMHO, Buy a decent computer with Windows xp installed.
I bought a high end computer. And installed Windows 7 32 bit. And my computing life screwed up.

A fast harddisk is recommended for scan options that return a lot of results. (like pointerscan)

Also, if your cpu supports intel-vt you can use that to bypass integrity checks, debug protected games, etc...

Yes, buy more ram and get the 64-bit version. I have no intentions of making it use less memory, quite opposite, I plan on making use of more and more in memory databases and lookup tables for speed improvements (If the pointerscan didn't gobble up so much memory, it'd be a lot slower)

i5 750, 8GB DDR3 1600. Using 64-bit version.

Scanning/rescanning is very fast, yeah. I'm more talking about pointer scanning speed.
