Those PC numbers, stand for the amount of memory bandwidth. Look at the number that proceeds after DDR2. If you plan on overclocking, it's best to get DDR2-800 PC2-6400 RAM.

What site are you buying from? For the heatsink, if you're getting the Q6600, the Tuniq 120 is recommended.



If you see from his list:

CRUCIAL 1GB (PC-4300) 533MHz DDR2-533 = $58 ( $58x2= $116 )

ooh... didn't see that.. lol.. i'm an idiot

no need to worry!

That should run any game out today (well certainly below 1600x1200 resolution)
- its a great pc, wat!

 

[AhBeng]

Ok, thx andyf!

 

[Andyf]

Oh as for the superclocked version, essentially you are paying, SGD$30 or so for eVGA to overclock it for you- I would suggest saving the money and doing it yourself- people on this forum will be more than happy to help!

 

[AhBeng]

Andyf, how do i overclock it myself ?
I've been reading on the other thread on how to overclock the ram and gpu.
but i dont get it.

you pretty much just download a program called ATI tool and its a fairly simple program
