That's what I use too, though 500GB capacity disk is laptop disk (no noise and 1/4 the energy use). > Any opinions on memory? DDR3 looks like the latest and greatest.

You may let the boards/chips decide this, mid-range boards address memory in pairs (i.e. 2x4GB, 4x2GB etc.) while the latest and greatest offer 3 independent channels (i.e. 3x2GB, 6x1GB etc.). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
