I just built a new budget rig, geforce 8600 gt XXX edition plus amd X2 and 2 gigs of ram ddr 800 its the OCZ silver edition or something like that, its got this nice looking silver heatsink, anyway the timings are 4 4 4 15 i think, and well I`m not that much of an enthusiast I just wanted to play crysis on medium and now I can do that.
The thing is a friend, who actually is an enthusiast saw my budget rig and liked my RAM cuz he`s only got DDR2 667 on his sli motherboard, and he asked me if I wanted to trade my 8600 gt and DDR 2 800 for his old Geforce 7800 gt and his 2 gigs of kingston DDR 667 (hes got an 8800 now).
Now, I`m not an expert, so I`m not sure if it is a good idea to do that, my stuff is new, his is used, but his 7800 gt should be faster than my card, so I`m not sure what to do. Hope you can help me out =]
By the way, my pci express is 8x, so I dont know if that would bottleneck my 7800 gt making the trade useless.
