Solve : New Computer Build (1st time)?

1.	Solve : New Computer Build (1st time)?
Answer» kl thanx as i want to have the max memory i can, should i install 3gb?well sure. 3 GB is good enough. Just get 2 sticks of 1gb ram and 2 sticks of 512 ram. Then you can do the dual channel mode configuration. But be sure the the 2 sticks of 1gb rams are identical and the 2 sticks of 512 rams are identical. Not necessarily brand, but definitely the SPECS for compatibility for dual channel mode configuration. That way, your memory will be more effectively used by computer and result in a faster, SMOOTHER processing!cheers dudei was just perusing ebay UK and found this. not ever having a GPU b4, i DONT really know any difference beyond memory size, so how come this is so cheap? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1GB-nVIDIA-GeForce-Xvision-8600GT-SUPER-SLI-PCI-E-PC_W0QQitemZ300196729429QQihZ020QQcategoryZ3762QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQuote from: boo on February 10, 2008, 08:03:14 AM i was just perusing ebay UK and found this. not ever having a GPU b4, i dont really know any difference beyond memory size, so how come this is so cheap? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1GB-nVIDIA-GeForce-Xvision-8600GT-SUPER-SLI-PCI-E-PC_W0QQitemZ300196729429QQihZ020QQcategoryZ3762QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem you probably did have some kind of gpu (whether it's intetrated graphics or an actual card) before or how else would you have been able to see things on your computer's monitor? 1. Geforce 8600, the card you have linked to, is not high end NVidia graphics card that most gamers who want to play at high resolution and maxed out SETTINGS. 2. Geforce 8600 can play games at maxed out settings at lower resolutions. It is better used for HTPC systems and it is NOT just because of the amount of memory that makes it cheap. It's the processing power BUNDLED with that memory that counts. 3. So with the same amount of memory, you have in 8800GT, more processing units, meaning you get graphics data rendered faster, more efficiently even if memory amount of same and to get that high end power comes with a higher price. 3. Geforce 8500 and geforce 8600 are not bad cards, if you don't play the high end games at the high end settings. But if you want a graphics card that holds up for at least the next 2-4 years, I'd get a more expensive card.
