yes, i like the m0 stepping 2180 chip, i thought i might get more insight than just 4300>2180 because i said so here, guess i was wrong. thanks for those that did actually help though, i appreciate it.
60$ bux for an e4500 vs $70 for an e2180, i figured i would spend an extra $10 on this for now. ill be upgrading to a quad in the near future anyways once i get all this stuff and am settled for a bit. i like the heat pipes on that mobo, i like it a lot.
eh, not a big fan of biostar, i was considering that card over the 9800gtx but i like nvidia a lot. any reasons other than price on the video card vs the 9800gtx?
actually if you have a video game with intense graphic capability then more ram would make the game run smoother. the graphics would load entirely in the ram rather than a slow swap file on your hard drive.
