Decent Gaming Build?

so, if it's 2FPS slower

then it's not better than XP is it?

and G80 drivers are WORSE then radeon and G70 drivers.

can we agree that in a year Vista will be the way to go but today it isn't?

EDIT: for the record, I WILL be getting Vista 64bit in the near future so i can take advantage of my 4GB RAM. XP can only really address 3.12GB so ehh

 

2fps is nothing...if it was 10-15fps maybe but honestly 2fps

We can agree in a years time it will be worth it..but its worth getting now aswell

 

well, when your'e saying the best, that typically means best performance and highest image quality. vista at this moment has neither.

that will change in the mid-term future, but not today.

and again it's WORSE with GeForce 8 series cards. Their drivers are buggy on XP and in vista it's worse.

 

So, im thinking to change this to
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
GPU: BFG Tech BFGR88768GTXOC2E GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814143093
RAM: mushkin eXtreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) with EPP Profile Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820146108
So overall its about 2360$

 

likely a wise choice, especially if you plan on overclocking.

 

look on ewiz, for STT ram you can get 4gb for the price of that 2....

 

The $100 kits of 2GB are meant for budget buys, and most likely have the lowest quality ICs.
