I'm planning on within the next few months improving my PC for FarCry 2 as some of you know, i plan on getting the ATI a few days after the game is released.
But for now i have £60 to spend, i can either get this:
OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800Mhz/PC2-6400 Memory GOLD DUAL CHANNEL Unbuffered CL5(5-5-5-18) - Ebuyer 4GB of DDR2 @ 800Mhz
or
OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) DDR3 1333Mhz/PC3-10666 Memory CL9(9-9-9-26) 1.6 V Unbuffered - Ebuyer 2GB DDR3 @ 1333mhz
Now i'm guessing the DDR3 ram will allow me alot more headroom when Overclocking my Processor, right ?
So my question is, will being able to achiev a higher CPU clock on my E6850 give more performance over 4GB ram and a lower CPU clock speed (for FarCry2) ? or is it the other way around.
I'm pretty sure my P35C DS3R supports 1333mhz DDR3, and im on Windows XP - not vista.
