Note that unless your runing a 64 bit OS anything over 2.8GB af ram will be useless.

Also, most people say ist cheaper (and sometimes wiser) to just go with one card.. Because of next gen.

The money you save on the GPU oculd mean a new monitor.. or a better PSU.

Hell why not watercool thw whole thing?

I'd probably save the money and just buy a new and better card in one or two years, or get a bigger harddrive to store stuff on. Or a gigantic 21" TFT screen or something else that's extremely nifty.

And you have an AMD processor. I don't care about the rest, if you have AMD you get a "go" from me XD
