    New PC build - this spec ok?

    Cheers for the replies. Would uppig the RAM to 3GB make that much difference? Anymore isn't worth it on 32bit Vista as it can't use more. The 8800GTS is out of my budget atm, I thought of going for the 2600XT as a stopgap till the x2900XT drops in price.

    Which Athlon64 CPU is better?

    I've got one of the Biostar 210P shuttle size systems that takes a socket 754 CPU. Favorite atm is an Athlon64 3400+ but which one is better? Athlon64 3400+ 1mb cache 2.2Ghz (clawhammer) or Athlon64 3400+ 512k cache 2.4Ghz (newcastle) is more cache or a faster clockspeed the...
