Hey All,
Sorry for the length of this one have a few questions.
I'm considering some upgrades to my machine and would really appreciate some advice.
1) Graphics Card
Asus 7800GTX 256M
2) RAM
I've currently got 2 X 1024MB PC3200 DDR RAM SINGLE MODULE (400MHZ) think its Samsung.
I've been looking into SLI and puchasing a second card to run through SLI. I have read that 2 X 7800GTX is actually no better than one X1900XT.
I have also found some info on http://www.slizone.com/object/slizone2_build.html that only the following are certified RAM for SLI:
Corsair CM2X512-5400C4
Corsair CM2X512-5400C4PRO
Corsair TWIN2X1024-5400C4
Corsair TWIN2X1024-5400C4PRO
PNY D21GX53GMR 667 MHz
So my main questions are:
a) Should I forget about SLI and just get a better single card ? If so, what card is recommended?
b) If 2 X 7800GTX is the best option:
Do I have to choose from the above certified RAM? If so, which one ?
If not, what RAM would you recommend for SLI?
c) If going for a new single card, or sticking with that I have, what RAM would you recommend?
Sorry if its all confusing.....just ask for clarification if needed.
Not really looking at a budget but would prefer not to spend more than £500.
Thanks for any assitance you can give.
