Hey all, just received the parts for my new computer, with the following specs:
Intel Q6600 GO
Gigabyte X48T-DQ6
OCZ 2GB DDR3 PC3-10666C7 1333MHz Platinum
HIS ATi Radeon 3870X2
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500Gb (x2)
Sony NEC Optiarc AD-7200S 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter
Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler (with extra NF-P12 fan)
Lian-Li PC-A70A Aluminium Tower Case - Silver
Thermaltake ToughPower 850W Modular PSU
Dell Ultrasharp SP2008WFP 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor
Logitech G5 Gaming-Grade Laser Mouse
Enermax Aurora Brushed Aluminium Keyboard - Silver
Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
First off, what do you think of the new system? Anything I shouldn't have got?
Secondly, is 2GB of DDR3 memory enough in Vista 64? I know 4GB of DDR2 is really necessary for Vista but I was hoping DDR3 might be different? Is it going to handle Vista and games such as Crysis ok with only 2GB? At the moment I can't afford to get the other 2GB but could do in a few weeks if necessary.
