Can't squeeze for faster HZ? Rest looks good

Would've liked to, but that was the tradeoff for the X1900Xt...

Ah ok

I guess if not overclocking then should be fine :cool:

Em... I know this might sound crazy, but considered the E6400 to save a-bit more? See here to understand why I ask

I'm considering that chip for my next build, but only because it will be a 'turbo boost' considering where I'm coming from (click on sig)

Hmmm that's an interesting read! I'll give it some thought, but I'm pretty much set with the above spec.

I may do some o/c'ing who knows!

Socket's still the same, i.e. Socket T A.K.A. LGA 775, so it will work :cool:

The ZX stuff is only like £3 more than the HZ?
