If your going to use it for games get a better model then the GTS.
Extra £200 for a Ultra would make a HUGE difference.

440 on just a graphics card is ludacris money imo.

8800 GTS is more than sufficient

It is yea. its basically DDR2 in a powered chipset, it works like a hard drive but its solid state so needs to be constantly powered. You buy the ram qty you want and install to it what you want.

So imagine buying 8 sticks of 1gb to get 8gb of space.... not cheap at all!!!

ideally for rich bitches.

WoW is for losers

8800GTS 640mb will be fast enough Karl.

Quad core aswell ftw!!!!!

Its going to be a beast. As regards to LANView..... yeh i installed the client on the pc and it connects BUT functions really strange. Tried installing VNC but it keeps saying its already running

Karl · 27th September 2007, 12:06

How weird.

will let you know what sort of FPS' i get

RM use VNC to tap into our computers i think so this could be why its not working propperly?!?!!

Karl · 27th September 2007, 12:30

strange, mate I'll speak to Mark when he gets back from his fag break...

Oroblram · 27th September 2007, 12:40

I lost faith in VNC since they had to patch a exploit that let anybody connect to a VNC client without needing a password.

RootDogg · 27th September 2007, 14:33

Only get one if its going to have windows on and your trying to build a top notch pc, if its any other hard drive you prob not notice any difference

b0t13 · 27th September 2007, 16:16

not really worth the extra cash really unless ur planning on putting it in a sweet as gaming beast thatll need the extra boost. id rather have a decent 7k one and loads more space plus some cash tbh..

98silvervts · 27th September 2007, 17:11

Ive been running the above for around a year, cant see the reason to upgrade to 10k.

72 is fast enough for me.

Mystic^p · 27th September 2007, 17:17

2 7200rpm drives in RAID 0 is probably much quicker than a single 10,000rpm drive. Since you have potentially 14400rpm at your disposal, provided the drives have a decent seek time i'd say thats the best bet.

Although make sure your keeping backups, each drive you add to a RAID 0 configuration doubles the chance of you losing everything stored ont he drives in the event of one of them failing

98silvervts · 27th September 2007, 17:25

i considered runing 0+1 is but i'm not ready to upgrade my case yet..

i dont have the cooling capacity for 4 drives

Karl · 27th September 2007, 20:40

ill get the 10k drive and let you know what i think.
pc's core activity will be gaming..
