A.Carter Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Hi all, i am in the process of building a pc with a DFI NF4 ultra-d moboard all of the components i am using are listed in my signature. I have 250-300£gbp to spend on memory and a new graphics card, ideally i would like to have 2gb of ram but 1gig will probley do me fine. I mostly use my pc for games like battlefield2 hl2 cs:source and for watching dvds and browsing the net. So basically if you guys could give some suggestions to what i shud purchase given my budget it will be greatly appreciated thanks Adam.

A.Carter Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 Thanks for the replys, virus1_2 suggestion is very tempting exactly the sorta posts im after as i dont really get all the diffrnt variations of memory and what would be compatible with the ultra-D so more posts like that will be great.

red930 Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 no no no dont go ati!! go nvidia get a 7900gt, 172 uk pounds, and some g.skill pc4000 ram, 115 pounds. voila, your solution for about 287 pounds. dont listen to them up there, corsair isnt that great on dfi mobos. 7900gt has 24 pipes. these are newegg prices.

A.Carter Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 okay thanks for the advice ive preety much decided on a 7800gt or a 7900gt depending on how much my memory will cost the g.skill ram is a very good price on newegg but unfortunatly they do not deliver internationally i have looked around in uk online stores and for 2gb pc4000 g.skill it is around the 160£ mark, which is more than i really wanna pay for ram, so more reccomendations on ram compatible with dfi nf4 ultra-D , preferbly from a uk site please :) thanks.

A very good price for 2gb in dual channel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virus1_2 Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 no no no dont go ati!! go nvidia What’s wrong with ATI? Then Nvida end of day each company has duds and that N/vid has just over about yr-2 in SLI granted ATI jumped the gun and tried to compete but I fink ATI are top personal but personal preference I had N/Vid and fort they totally S$!@ but I like the old N/Vid top notch but since then totally rubbish with update of 10 million drivers but I did her they got better with the 7800GTX as me bro. Has 2 of em and loves em Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virus1_2 Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 To b honest mate get some Kingston hyper x u get a lifetime warrantee and u just send it back of to them if cant fix it they replace it never had to do it I had mine a year and love it bouts 56 for a stick of PC 3200 over clocking on them is very gd I think and that its worth thinking of it and if u want it for BF2 then its really gd so is the OCZ but depends on what u want it for lol that’s what I say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmil43 Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 From everything I have read BF2 is a memory hog and really needs 2g of memory. I have the game and I'm waiting to install it after I finally get my 2g of memory up and running. I have some other issues I want to take care of before swapping out the memory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
