HI
Have just sold my P4 and am about to buy a new CPU, MB and RAM.
The board that seems attractive is the MSI K8N Ultra with a 3500 Winchester
CPU. I will be using the machine for Video / Photo work so I need 2 MB RAM.
Is there a performance gain in buying 4*512 MB modules instead of two 1024MB
mudules?
Is the 3500 a lt faster than a 3200, have heard that the 3200 is a lot
easier to overclock.
I will not use the machine for games, don't even own a game apart from the
ones bundled with XP so I plan to buy the MSI 700Pro graphics card, wise
choice or am I better off going for a Nvidia based card such as the 6600GT
or will the cheapest ATI card do just as well.
Any suggestions welcomed.
Thanks.
