Hi all
I have finally decided to upgrade my aged system, it’s been good to me but the constant slow downs in NWN2 and with some of the new titles on the horizon has convinced me to do this.
Right currently my system is an AMD 2500+ (running at 3200+ for over 3 years), one gig of DDR3200 ram, and a 6800 GS bios modded into a 6800 ultra.
I am planning on going Intel, for the first time since my Pentium 233mmx and go with the E6600 core duo processor, so my upgrade list is:-
Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 2.40GHz
OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-8500 1066MHz SLI-Ready Edition
NVIDIA 8800 GTS graphics card either the 300meg or the 600meg version (any thoughts here please?)
Finally last but by no means least, I have no idea what to go for mainboard wise not sure if I should go Intel 975 or P965, or NVIDIA 650 or 680, read a lot of reviews but there is no simple solution. I have no idea at this stage if or when I will go SLI ……..
Any advice/ opinions will be very much appreciated as this is going to cost me a lot of cash
