What's the Performance Gain between PC2-6400 and PC2-8500. I am going for the max because my thinking is The More, The Better Performance. If I am wrong, Please tell me what Memory to get? Meaning what PC2-Speed to get?

Your guys comments help me in alot of ways. I save MONEY and get the BEST Product. So help me out guys.

And YES, I am gona be running Asus Maximus Formula SE + Intel Core 2 Extreme OX9770! (Yorkfield)

THX!

You're going to run a single 3.2GHz CPU rather than dual 3GHz quad core processors? :roll:
Forget I said anything about memory.

 

[vegettoxp]

Yes, Single Processor not Two. But thx to you I did a quick Read up on the comparesing on PC2-6400 VS PC2-8500 and a lot of people are saying that the Gain in Performance is not whole alot. They say that you can OC your PC2-6400 to the Speed of PC2-8500. So I took your advice and I did a quick check of PC2-6400 and the Prices I found are really good.

After reading around, it looks like everyone is telling me to go with 8800GT instead of 9600GT. 8800GT is a bit more expensive, but I don't mind pay that little bit if difference. So would you guys recommend me getting the 8800GT?

Also if not getting a Raptor, would you guys recommend me looking at the new WD Caviar® SE16 640 GB, 3 Gb/s, 16 MB Cache, 7200 RPM? Your Thoughts?

THX != thanks. THX is an audio technology. You may wish to be a bit more specific in your titles in the future...

Your Thoughts?

You don't mind paying, is an understatement after picking the QX9770 for your CPU.
If you're spending that much on a processor, there shouldn't be many limits as to what you should spend on the rest of the components.

 

[vegettoxp]

Hey Blain, thx for the input. I guess you don't know how I got that QX9770. So let me tell you how I got it.

It finally paid of having my cousin work at INTEL. So I got a call on Tuesday (March 18, 2008) from my Cousin say if I wanted a Processor and of course I said hell ya. So guys guess what Processor I got? Give Up?

The Processor I got is ?Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 Processor?. Clocked at 3.2GHz with 12MB of Cache and with 1600MHz Front Side Bus. (Ya Baby!) I was building a New Rig Anyway. I was planning to get the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450, but getting the Extreme Edition Instead is Welcome Any Day.

So there you have it Blain. My story of How I got my processor. So know would you recommend me getting the 8800GT and the OCZ Reaper HPC Edition 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

Once again thx for all the help man!
