Okey I'm looking to upgrade my computer (it's realy a old hunk of junk) and I despretly need a new one. I'll be using it for GFX work and as a gaming rig. But at the same time I'm not the richest man in the worl so I'm trying to keep the price down.
I have a couble of questions:
1. do all of the Athlon 64 3000+ and above CPU's support duel memory tech?
2. your expert thoughts of my setup
Since I'm not rich and no good at putting money aside. I have deside to do my upgrade in stages.
Stage 1:
Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
Dane-Elec 2x256 mb duel pc3200 mem
Athlon 64 3000+
Stage 2:
Club-3D GeForce 6600GT
Stage 3:
Dane-Elec 2x256 mb duel pc3200 mem
Stage 4:
Club-3D GeForce 6600GT
I selected the SLI tech for two main reasons. It makes it posible for me to ugrade in stages and continue doing so. The card has a future since it's 939 slot.
The AMD 64 I chose because (atleast as far as I have been abel to find out) it seems to support Duel mem and is a fairly quick CPU at a low cost.
Why didn't I go with Corsair or Kingston exc.. I feel that the minimum of extra speed and quality you get from it isn't worth the extra cost.
6600 GT? Mainly (again as far as I know) it supports the SLI tech. And it's good card for the price.
There you have it. Tell me am I way of my goal did I step in something ugly along the way or does it seem resonable. And last but not least does my chosen CPU support duel mem. I hope you can and will help me.
thx in advance.
