First time builder seeking help.
I would recommend getting a single stick of memory, 1gb, instead of the
2x512mb. It will cost less and save you room for upgrading later. Here is Corsair Value in a 1gb stick form. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145505 Also, I think I would consider going with an ATI X1600XT. Its cheaper, and will run all of the new software and shaders and stuff thats coming out. It has higher clocks than the X800 also. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102657 |

Well atleast still check out the X1600XT instead if you are stuck on
dual channel. But if you want dual channel, just wait and save a little more and go 2x1gb sticks, much more worth it. |
