    I?m planning on building a system with an ASUS Striker Extreme, a Q6600, and running Vista 64bit. I want 2x2GB, and have been looking at the following?

    E6600 vs E6700

    Is it worth it to spend the extra $100 to go from the E6600 to the E6700? Is the jump from 2.40 to 2.66 GHz going to really do anything? Thanks, Kevan

    nvidia 8800 GTS

    I'm going to be building a new computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600. I've been looking around at graphics cards, and I like the nvidia 8800 GTS. I was wondering, should I get the 320mb or the 640mb. There seems to be a $60 price difference. I would like to use it with a 19" screen at 1280 x...
