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?

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.
