Hey guys, I was hopeing someone could advice me... To sum up, I WAS in the middle of saveing to build my own custom super computer... but my father gave me 1700.00 gift card to circuit city. I told him not to. But in the moment I thought it would be rude to remind him.
Anyways, I went ahead and purchased a HP's q6600 quad core intel Buy the HP Pavilion Elite M9150F Desktop PC and other Desktop computers at circuitcity.com
Buy the HP Pavilion Elite M9150F Desktop PC and other Desktop computers at circuitcity.com
I have already purchased some upgrades.. waiting to recieve a 550W VX corsair PSU, and a 8800GTS G92, Vista 64 premium.
The system actually came with 4gigs, of kingston pc5300 ddr2 (4x 1 gig sticks)(3 gigs in the box, but i had them add one, as a spur of the moment thing)
I am planning on upgrading the RAM-more, to G.Skill 4GB(2x2gb) ddr2 (PC2 8000) Dual Channal. Will it hurt the cpu's performance to keep 2 gigs of the kingston to make a total of 6gigs? I know that right now 1 gig is alocated to the video card. what is your advice. Or do you think the kingston stuff is sufficiant, or to just use the G.skill and none of the kingston in the system?
I know it would help to know the MB manufacturer, but HP is hestiant to tell me, and I got nothing but code numbers/letters on the actual motherboard itself.
Thanks Swann
