From my sig to this for little to no cost :

OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Reaper HPC Edition Dual Channel DDR2 (OCZ2RPR10664GK)
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 LGA775 'Wolfdale' 3.00GHz (1333FSB) - Retail
Asus Maximus Formula Intel X38 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Asus Xonar D2X 7.1 PCI-Express Sound Card - Retail


But do I bother or just make myself some money instead as that's the other option? Cash is always an issue but if this is an opportunity to keep my rig upto date then i'll go for it..

So basically I guess i'd like to know if you think it's worth it or not...

Thx


Running Vista64 btw
 
Can upgrade to any spec i like it's just after having a browse I came up with that spec.....? Any changes and opinions are more than welcome
 
Even if it costs next to nothing? Thought the wolfdales clocked quite well from what i've read? Upto 4gig? Also have more cache?
 
Well I can sell my current components to somebody I know for £500 and use this cash to replace the parts.. Or just buy him new items and build him one from them.. I've explained to him the situation and as long as he gets a good system for £500 he's not fussed.. Also i'd be the one fixing it if anything does go wrong with the 2nd hand parts so if the worst comes to the worst i'll have to get a new component to replace any failures for the first 6 months say....

Hope that makes sense....

how much cash will you get?
If it is less than £200, get this stuff, which you could at least sell.

Cash would be a lot less than £200 if I buy new as i'd only be charging to build him one say... which isn't v hard and can't charge too much..

My way we both benefit but was wondering if it would be an extra risk and an extra effort for nothing....

As I said, if you can get a quad setup for very cheap with 4GB of ram then go for it.

Up to you at the end of the day.

What's the deal with quad anyhows? Thought it was only a benefit for rendering etc at the moment? Was looking for the best clock for clock cpu really as i only use it for the internet ;)
 
Seeing as i haven't been bothering to OC the E6600 recently would it still not be cosidered a good upgrade if I ran them at stock?
