Well in 3 weeks or so I get a shitload of money.
Good for the final touch of my movie/game machine.

There's so many cards to choose from and I narrowed down my search to Asus since I've been buying there cards for 10 years now.

there's 8800GTS, GTX, GT, EN8800GT, EN8800GTS, 512MB, 256MB, 320MB, 640MB, 768MB
WTF is that all about. In the good ol' days there wasn't so much to choose from.

anyway, my question.
What's more important... Fast memory or fast GPU?

Well after some digging it seems they also made a new GPU running 700mhz instead of the 600mhz or 500mhz in the previous 8800 cards
The old 8800 series have the G80 while the new series have the G92

Most importantly, during High Definition play (720p or 1080p) the CPU doesn't use much using the G92 card
while the G80 GPU needs more CPU.

And now it's time for breakfast!

Reading this, I can't stop thinking how funny it would be to give this text to some old lady and watch her reaction after reading it

"Is this Norwegian? " or something

(oh yeah, please don't start to mention other things you would like to do with old ladies, I really don't care )

I only care about you doing an old lady.

That's how nasty I am.

Oh, you're really really nasty!

I mean...

indeed

btw, what time do you expect me tomorrow.
Should I bring eatable panties?

Any time is Mariachi time.

Don't be revolting, Darling!

Let's wait then 3 weeks or so cause a new 8800 should be out prolly

The only one from Nvidia worth buying right now is 8800 GT. Not the current GTS, the new one should be better though.

So now it would be either 8800 GT or Ati 3870.

I prefer talking about anuses and penises

This last week I've been struggling with re-stabilising my other PC after the PSU went bang & being sent a faulty replacement.
Doing this brought me back to a level of competance that I've not had for years by having no choice but to research all the shit I'd forgotten or had been superseded.
What I discovered is that speed of RAM is hardly noticeable & only shows a difference in benchmark tests that you wont notice yourself, but quantity of RAM is a different thing altogether.
GPU or RAM? firstly you need to know what exactly it is that youre going to be doing with the PC which you already have done.
What you are needing to do is remove any bottlenecks in your system & you can never have enough RAM as this is the usual place for PC Lag.
Vista seems to put a lot more pressure on your RAM than XP as its trying to reduce the pressure on your gfx card. If youre gaming even a pair of 8800s in SLi isnt enough to allow you maximum gfx settings on Crysis.
I personally suggest more RAM than a fancy overpriced GFX card that in 3 months will cost you 1/3rd of what they cost today.
Whatever RAM you choose be sure to check your boards support on the QVL to be 100% sure its going to run reliably & stable as not just any RAM is going to work in your board as I'm sure youre already aware.
Hope this helps just a little
