Hello guys,
This is my first post ever on these forums. A couple of months ago my friends helped me build my own computer so I can play any game at relatively high settings. My specs are as follows
Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Conroe 2.13GHz LGA 775
ASUS P5NSLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI Intel Edition ATX Intel Mobo
x2 - EVGA 256-P2-N615-TX GeForce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16
ASUS Atlas A-55GA ATX12V 2.01 550W Power Supply
Kingston 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300)
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler
LITE-ON 16X DVD±R DVD Burner
x2 - Western Digital Caviar SE WD1600JS 160GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard
I think it runs decent although this is my first desktop purchase I still think theres improvements to be made.
Should I upgrade my two 7600GTs for the 8800? Would there even be a noticeable difference? I looked at the card ratings and the 7600 is waay down there but I have 2.
The main reason why I'm thinking about upgrading is because I want to upgrade my OS to vista home premium and I heard that as of right now it doesn't support SLI. To help you help me, I play WoW, and soon I hope to play CaC 3, Supreme Commander, and Huxley on max when I get back from Iraq.
On a side note, (I read a couple of pages in the Vista faq page and theres 101 pages) can you install one full retail copy of Vista premium on 2 computers?
