Hi, I would like to be able to over clock at stock, And I am not sure which type of memory I need ( I dont understand what "2-3-2-5" means) to be able to over clock.I would also like this upgrade to be a long-term one.

Any advice is welcomed.

The reason for my upgrade is because I want to be able to play "The Elder Scrolls - Oblivion" and have fun (No low fps ect).

Cheers.

Thank you for your reply Explicit. Are you aware which memory (I’ll go with 1GB now then buy another 1GB in the future) is the cheapest but also good for over clocking... Do I just need to make sure I go with a branded type? I want some memory which is going to last long-term you see.

ACESHIGH I must say, I do like the look of that PowerColor X1800 XT ( Do you know how long PowerColor cards warrantees last for? ) … I have notice that it only has 16 pixel pipelines while the 7900Gt has 24 … Does this make much different? I think I will go with an ATI card but does that mean I need to change the type of motherboard I have (Do i need a Crossfire motherboard)? Thank you.

P.s, Is it true that all the latest ATI cards have come down in price due to the release of the 7900`s?
