Q: Well, have a look: Processor: Intel core 2 quad 2.66 GHz LGA 775 12MB Cache RAM : Kingston HyperX 800MHz 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 Motherboard : MSI P6N Diamond LGA 775 Nvidia nForce 680i with SLI support, with integrated Creative X-Fi Extreme Audio Sound Card. Graphics Card : Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT DDR2 1GB Power Supply : Tagan 700 Watts (Has 6 SATA on it) Cooler : Thermaltake DuOrb (Dual Fan) Case : xClio A380 Phantom Super Tower Case Actually It's super Speedy and runs any game with no problem on high resolution and high graphics, well, jjust wondering your opinion, thanks :) Well, forgot about the HDD. 1 TerraByte, Seagate. and when telling me about nvidia 9600, is it DDR2 or DDR3? I'm running Windows XP Black Ultimate Edition, Service Pack 3, I guess it's 32 bit. how do I get a 64-bit XP? I dont want to install vista, I dont like it, and I dont think that se7en will be better when it comes out. and my Motherboard is DDR2. will I get full resources of 9600 if I buy it? what about this video card: SPARKLE NVIDIA GEFORCE Calibre P888+ HM 8800GT 512MB 256BIT GDDR3 (DirectX 10) PCI-E x16 SLI OVERCLOCKED HDMI will this be a fine video card? it has 2 fans
A: the Nvidia Geforce 8800GT is a great bang for the buck and you will see a major performance increase over the 8500. The rest of the rig looks pretty nice...should run all of today's games pretty well. The only thing that I would have added was a Raptor 10,000 RPM HDD, instead of a 1 terabyte HDD if you are using it for primarily gaming. Also, having a 32-bit operating system will only allow your computer to recognize and use 3 GB of RAM. If you want to utilize all 4 GB of RAM, you will need to buy a 64-bit version of the operating system that you want. And with the GDDR3 on the 8800GT, it will still be used to its full potential, the RAM on the graphics card and the RAM on the motherboard have very very little to do with each other.
