    2gb ram vs. 4gb ram

    well if I had 2gb...I would have enough room in my budget for a 8800gtx. If i have 4gb...i would be using getting the 640mb 8800gts. Which do you think is better?

    2gb ram vs. 4gb ram

    Is there any tangible benefit of 4gb ram over 2gb ram in a gaming pc? The comp would be running XP or Vista 32 bit, so it's only going to see 3.1gb... The other relevant hardware: 8800gts 640mb E6700 Asus P5B Plus, or Deluxe RAID 0 HDD's

    Ok, I'm basically ready to order unless you guys have any suggestions. I switched the psu to the FSP one because of the outrageous shipping fee of $12 from e-qiz. Also, my dad really prefers to get everything from newegg. Case: $70 ENERMAX Chakra ECA3052BS Black SECC ATX Mid Tower...

    Help with 1st computer build!!

    Well I might game, I don't know. My point is I want a graphics card that can deliver the power if I need it, but otherwise, it shouldn't be too big a concern. I think I can go with the 7600gt. And the capictator aging-I plan on keeping this computer for 4 yrs+, so I need a good brand...

    Help with 1st computer build!!

    I'm thinking of switching to a 7600gt ($100 after MIR) off newegg so I can save money on the gpu and the psu. If I were to do that, what psu would you suggest? I'm not really worried about graphics card power because I don't plan on gaming anytime soon.

    I prefer to buy everything from newegg, and i couldn't find that psu. But do you think the coolmax is good quality? And yea, core 2 duo's dropped quite a bit.

    Help with 1st computer build!!

    Hi, this is my first experience building a computer, so if you could help me out, that'd be great. I intend this computer to be able to video editing, and a slim chance (20%) of being a gaming computer. I do have overclocking as an idea in hand. Here's what i came up with for parts(all are...
