Newegg.com - OCZ ReaperX HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
I ordered this last night to replace the quickly aging AMD X2 6000+. Along with my nForce 570 chipset.
Now. I have this 9800GTX and an available step-up with a week remaining. I don't want the GTX 280, I don't plan on this video card being used with my Nehalem system when that is built in 8-10 months. The GTX 260 or the 4850 can play any game that I want to play, so I need to pick from those two.
My 9800GTX has a step-up value of $300. I can:
a) Step-up to a GTX 260 for shipping costs.
b) Step-up to a GTX 280 for $150 and then sell it on ebay as New in Box and get the 4850
What I want to do is step up to the GTX 280 and then sell it.........I will have an extra $100 or so and that can be put towards maybe 4850s in Xfire? I am looking for best bang for my buck here.
