Hey guys!
I am getting my new PC in a week or so, and have a question about memory. NewEgg is having a combo deal on one of the 4870's where I can get CORSAIR 4GB DDR2 800 for dirt cheap, $25 after mail-in-rebates plus the combo discount. I'm kind of skeptical about it though. Right now I have G.SKILL 4GB 1066 memory selected. So my question is, will there be that big of a difference?
Here are some more specs for my future comp:
E8400
P5Q Pro mobo
Vista 64-bit
ATI 4870
I will be using the new build for Creative Suite 4, FS2004/FSX, Call of Duty 4/5, and maybe some Crysis or FarCry 2 later on when I have more money.
I'm coming from a Compaq V2000, so anything will be better lol. I just want to make sure I have some room to overclock; possibly around 3.6GHz to 3.8GHz; I hear those cpu speeds are pretty stable with the E8400.
Thanks!
