mucker Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 Looks very good. I'm not familiar with the ram, but if you researched it then great!

diabloII Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 everything looks good, except: 1.) why not the 1 gig dual channel pack of twinMOS? they are 94.35 and i'm pretty sure they're the same ram 2.) rosewill is bad 3.) X800XL doesn't support PS3.0, you might wanna rethink that? maybe a 6600gt or 6800gt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadzookie Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16820218405 here is a link to the ram cool i didnt know amazon sold computer parts if i get a 6600 gt how long will it last for gaming ?

mucker Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 The Rosewill is fine and works great. Rosewill has only a 1 year warranty though. I voided mine by putting an ATI Silencer 5.2 on it so it don't matter anyway. It is all working great, x800xl's are great bang for buck...way better than a 6600, a 6600 is equivalent to or slightly better than 9800 Pro. Even if you decide to SLI later a single 6800 Ultra would be a better choice... m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mucker Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 The OCZ you linked to is capable of DDR 600+?. You will be able to hit DDR 550 easily. Alot of people use that OCZ around here with excellent results.
