[Arge]

Hi, well the title says it all really !

quite like the idea of a core2duo/nvidia gpu setup (has to be sli so i can upgrade) but cant find a motherboard that supports this combo exept the new 680i boards of course! squeeze one of these into the budget ?? proberbly not....

I was thinking sumthing along the lines of..
e6300
7600gt
1gb geil ddr2
compatable motherboard!

Thanks
Arge

Is the 6600GT agp may i enquire?

 

[Arge]

yes its an agp 256mb model.

Dont get me wrong, this is a brilliant value card and runs most games at max with 1280x1024 native res. The thing i i just bought oblivion and i want to see it in all its glory (well nearer 85% of its glory...maybe!)
