Went for it, tried to give all round performance for a good price, if it gets me hooked on games again i will go for a better card at the end of january (and power supply!) if not i will have a fast performing desktop machine for everything else.
Will pick up a cooler for the cpu once the christmas dust settles.

Can only seem to get the computer to boot using 1 stick of ram, tried every combination so far, memory problem or motherboard you rekon?

blairw · 24 Dec 2008 at 02:03

So ill up the voltage to 2.0 with just one stick in, reboot, but second stick in, and try boot?

I am going to try the voltage thing again today with the one stick i didnt get to work... mind you the system is such an upgrade from my old one that with only one stick working its night and day! Looking forward to the new case tho
