New Motherboard, RAM and Processor

[veg1992]

the 2 7900gtx would beat the 8800gts, however the gtx 8800 would own the 7900gtx sli

well, you know im no expert at the cards...so would the 7900gtx beat all three 8800gts?
i was pretty sure the 7900gtx would beat the lower 8800 cards. 7900gtx still costs 500 dollars lol.

One last question, will my PSU be able to run a Q6600, P35-DS3R and the DDR2 RAM?

Yeh it should be, but it depends what antec it is and if its an older one. I read somewhere they're build quality isnt what it used to be...

I just realised its actually 550W.

To be specific Antec Truepower 2.0 550W, will that do the job?

 

[Ronnie]

yes it will do the job
if your planning on getting a board that does 1333FSB then you wont be able to do SLI because the P35 chipsets are for Crossfire

SLI is pointless anyway milk your 7900GTX for another year and then upgrade to whatevers out

Ahh, I realised I don't have as much funding as I thought so I have a quick question. Can I put DDR1 RAM (PC3200) into the GA P35-DS3R for the time being or does it have to be DDR2??

 

[meat_helmet]

It has to be DDR2.

 

[veg1992]

It has to be DDR2.

yep ddr2 suport only unless u get a p35-ds3c board which supports ddr3 also

There probably isn't any need to upgrade from you 7900GTX right now - I'd hold off till then next generation on cards come out later this year
