Things must be balanced. An ultra-fast, multi-core CPU with wimpy RAM just wastes the CPUs, e.g. > Would you rather use a dual-core with 8GB or a quad-core with 4GB. > or: > 4GB DDR-3 or 8GB DDR-2 Well, to date, I've done well with 2 GB for the past few years, but I put 4 GB in a Core 2 Duo-based system I built recently. So in this case (assuming all the pertinent mainboard hardware were capable), I'd go with the DDR-3, since RAM remains a bottleneck (all the more so with multi-core CPUs). > Hans Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
