morning all!!
alrighty then,
been shopping at Newegg.com now and have upped nearly everything and it is still lower in price than the last lot!!!
Svdl, i read a few benchmark things too and it would seem that at the moment anyway, there is not a lot of support from software for the quadcore, so i have found a Duo e6600 conroe, which seemed to be very highly praised, and i found an 8800 card which i just want to find out if i even need, it fits into the budget, but as i am still on P6(for now) and Vue 5 Inf will i be able to use it?
i'll stick the whole product name up so if anyone has any bad stories about any of the parts i have found, please say so, so i can look at an alternative brand, and if anyone can see a problem with any parts not working with each other can you tell me please too.
