My new Core 2 Duo rig! - Page 5

Well, Fry's was a bust, if I got everything from Fry's [that they had] it would be $30 more.

PS: w00t!!! It turns out that when you buy XP Pro from Newegg, they have a combo deal where you can buy this as well:
CORSAIR XMS2 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

Which is, Model TWIN2X1024-6400C4, which is ON the Gigabyte suggested memory for the board I'm getting, which means it will work.
w000000t!

ps: ordering tonight. Hopefully It'll be here on saturday.
<3 Newegg's 2 day shipping :) If I had ordered it several hours ago I could have gotten it tomorrow because they are pwn like that (Ships from City of Industry, which is <100 miles from me)

Battlefield 2 takes around 640MB of ram to run at high settings. More games need around 1GB to run, it's up to you though.

BF2 is smooth at 2GB.

Yeah that's actually what I meant by that. 1GB is the game, then there's your other applications. So really 1GB might not be enough depending on the system your building. Since you look like you're going to build a rather powerful computer, you might want to take those 2GB.

Yea, But I realized that I still need <$100 for other stuff. The case, which I will hopefully get custom cut to have a Tux penguin on it (so badass, IMO :P), a couple of fans, and anything that is required, like another cable here or something little there.

I'm gonna go to a local computer shoppe, as they usually have better cases than major retailers like Fry's.

Its where I got my first case.
1337 ^^

Uh oh.... I have to clean my bed for all the new boxes that will be arriving.....I've still got my boxes from my old (current) build, and in my closet I have boxes from my dad's build, in 2005 for his office.
eep!

Zambini · November 3rd, 2006
