Mac87 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I was wondering why you chose a Pentium D, rather than a Core 2 Duo E4300, same money - more OCable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmarcelo Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Hi, Yes you are right it's a better choice for a littel more money...

aquanutz Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I'd go with a Geforce 7800 or 7900 if you can afford it. The 7300 is terrible. Newegg ususally has the same card that I have (evga 7800gt) for around $130 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmarcelo Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 You are... right! Your video card has a better spec than the one I had in mind, I am getting the: XFX GeForce 7900 GS XXX / 256MB GDDR3 / SLI / PCI Express / Dual DVI / HDTV / Video Card http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2707975&Sku=P450-7948 Any issue with the mob I selected. Thanks a lot xmarcelo Sorry I got confuse... Is this the one you have? EVGA GeForce 7900 GS KO / 256MB GDDR3 / SLI / PCI Express / Dual DVI / HDTV / Video Card http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2458745&CatId=1560 xmarcelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
