Only 1gb memory? Also raid 0 is useless in games. Should be amd if its games.

If I was paying over 1k for a machine, I would expect 2Gb of RAM no questions asked.

i cant get near that price using OCUK bits... about £1300 with 3800 and 2gb ram.

Eliot · 21 Apr 2006 at 16:24

there is no point of sli if the rest of the system is like that imo.

Energize · 21 Apr 2006 at 16:28

raid 0 is useless in games? so the games you play dont have loading times or..?

Oh so 20% increase is worth it?

Single Raptor for games IMO.

3800X2/2Gb/X1900 pwnage system.

i agree that the system specced could be better as monstermunch proved, but i think the point was could you build the same out of parts and the answer is no... unless you use generic PSU, ram, crap monitor etc.

theres no doubting the SLI system is good on it... its just the rest of it lol.

No, it just doesnt make a difference and if it did the loading times are too short to notice a difference of 1 second anyway and raid 0 actually increases seek times making in game loading slower.

spec

You forgot the great 5.1 Philips MMS460 speakers that come with the original spec so add about £50-£60 and it is a great spec
