Hey Guys,

out of the blue someone spec me a DDR3 system.. cheap as possible, thanks.

knock yourselves out.

what compared to DDR2?

Lemons_Mufc · 19 May 2009 at 19:22

Well what would you say from a QUAD to an I7? thats why i was planning a DDR3 upgrade.

or should i just wait for the prices to drop?

i use my computer for video editing and gaming.

specs atm are:

q6600 @ 3.2
ASUS P5KC
4GB RAM @ 800 MHz (GEIL2x2)
PSU / 600w
HIS 4850
--------------

soon im getting a 24inch monitor and as it stands a new graphics card maybe 4890, the reason i asked about DDR3 and I7 is because theres a chance i could sell this computer

if by entire box you mean case PSU ect then no.. just CPU, RAM and MOTHERBOARD

then again still worth considering getting high end quad and sticking with ddr2.. its hard to get my head around

and yeah AMD has also been an option but i dont know much about it myself.

i'd think i stick with a quad atm and wait a year for the i7, could also go all out on a shiny case

i'll have to give this a good think

i agree building is fun especially from new components, well as it stands i will sell off this computer and get a better quad and motherboard and all the other essentials

thanks for the help/advice guys much appreciated.
