OCZ Technology 2X2GBKIT REAPER 240PIN PC2-6400 DDR2 800MHZ
http://www.dabs.com/products/ocz-technology-2x2gbkit-reaper-240pin-pc2-6400-ddr2-800mhz-4RPG.html
I currently have:
5000+ BE overclocked to 3.25ghz, so the above cpu will be replacing this, anyone interested?
HIS XT Turbo IceQ 3870 OC'd edition, so the new graphics card will be replacing this....
The ram will be an addition, as well as the fan controller.
I plan to keep it like this for the life of this computer, so no further upgrades, unless needed (such as if something becomes faulty).
Going from dual to quad: will help with running several virtual machines as part of my MCSA course and ofcourse the other general advantages such as future proofing my comp.
As with all my PC's, I use till no longer needed, then give away or sell at very low price to whomever NEEDS it, such as family, cousin. Dont plan on buying to sell.
