1024M or 512M?????????

[m3gtr]

Got a A7N8X D2,XP B2800+,WD S-ATA 120G,FX5600Ultra 128M/
it will be used in gaming..

planning to choose Twinx512M 256*2/
will u think 1024M is better?
which i mean that will 1G memory affect the performance much more than 512M, games will be Counter-striker, Warcraft,Halflife2 in future.

u will get a instant 5% increase by useing 1gig. for games like HL2 1gig of good ram is a must. its worth buying and running it duel channell which is a 10-20% increase on top of that.

[Britdude]

agreed.

 

[m3gtr]

Thanks, and Do u think a XP B2800+ will affect the performance much more, or XP B2500+ is enough for recent use?

I am going to OC from 2500+ to 200FSB which i probely could have a 3200.

What i wanna to know if i could oc a XP b2800+, what speed i could problly have? becouse some friends told me xP B2800+ is not good for Overclocking.

 

[twofruitz]

there is not too much of a difference. if you want to really OC buy a 2.4c which is about the same price as a 2800. if you want to stick with AMD buy a 2500 and overclock to a 2800. even if you dont OC there is not too much of a performance diffence, only a few frames in most games.

2.6C is better than 2.4C and Intel sells them for the same price since the Oct. 24 price reductions.

Last week New Egg was selling 2.6C cheaper than 2.4C.

 

[Crashman]

That would make sense if Intel quite producing them!

Intel pricing seems a bit weird, the celeron 1.2 i bought was 5 bux cheeper from googlegear than a celery 1.1a (hence why i bought the 1.2 over the 1.1a)

BTW i think its interesting to note that intel is definitly still manufacturing tualatin cores, my cpu was packaged in 5/16/03

If it isn't a P6 then it isn't a procesor

[m3gtr]

Well,I got it. Then I will use XP2500+ with Coursair Twinx512M according to the $.
Another question : what level of power do i need for a XP2500,512M,120G SATA HD,R9600XT,and a 4 Fans Case(Thermaltake VM2000 Lanfire)

Thanks again.

HL2 runs plenty fine on 512 MB PC 2700.

Some day I'll be rich and famous for inventing a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet.

 

[silverpig]

For that, you could probably get away with a 250W supply, although 300 is a good minimum. However, since the 350 and 400 watters aren't much more, you may as well go with them for future proofing.

It is weird whan the faster cpu is cheaper than a slower one.

 

[wiz83]

I'd definitely go with at least 1gig, if I have the money, I'd go for 2gigs.
