woody79 · 22 Mar 2009 at 11:22

* Intel® Core i7-920 processor
* (2.6Ghz, 4.8GTs FSB, 8MB Cache)
* Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium
* 4GB DDR2 memory
* 640GB SATA hard drive (7200rpm)
* 1024MB NVIDIA® GeForce GTS150 graphics
* Dual Layer DVD Rewriter
* 6 x USB and 1 x Firewire port

the processor and ddr2 mem i thought u had to use ddr3 for this chip

as far as im aware they only make DDR3 boards for the I7 unless its using a hybrid board of some sort?

is this a OCUK setup ?

A certain high-street PC shop sells 1680x1050 monitors that are "fully 1080p compatible"

went into store and asked them if i could look inside and it defo had 2 sticks in the mem slots on a msi main board ist a packerd bell,from a high street shop.states very clearly 4gig ddr2 800mhz. thats why i asked if i could check in side. the model name does not excist on the pb web site i cant get any info on the mobo at all.apart from the first post witch comes from a high street retail just do a goole and it comes up.

Old 8800 generation card. (like also whole 9000-serie)
I bet they advertise it also as powerful gaming PC!

The pic of the GTS150 on nvidias site looks like a 9800GTX, so tbh it wouldnt be too bad with most games

done some research and u can only have ddr3 with i7 as the mem controller os for ddr3 so how did they get ddr2 to work.
