Digerati, my bad for hijacking other thread. ;)

Am aslo looking to build a custom gaming pc, mainly to play WOW at maximum settings with no judder with lots of Mobs around.

After reading the threads on the 'Building a gaming PC', was wondering why the Ram suggested is not 1066, as the chip and the motherboard run this speed.

Had already chosen the same MOBO (probably Asus P5 with Wifi)
, DC2 6600 CPU, 6800 GCard, 320g HD, but the Ram is my only problem, is there a problem with this speed Ram?

Am also looking to buy a 32"LCD screen/TV to run this mother on, any pro's/con's with this? or should i just get a 24" LCD monitor. Been looking around, and if the graphics aren't crisp on the 32" then i don't want it!!

Thx

Hmm, You won't be playing max with an old 6800 series GC. Bottleneck.

And i wouldn't go for an Asus mobo at this time, They have had alot of problems recently in the past year with RAM issues and compatibility. Gigabyte and MSI are a couple of alternatives.

Also, To run on a 32", You may need to run on a high reslution to get a clear image. The 6800, At a high resolution would lag real bad. I would reconsider the graphics card to something along the lines of a 7900GT/7950GT. or even an 8600/8800 series.

I picked the 800s because they were cheap, I don't even know if a SLI setup will like them. I was considering the Mushkins 1066 2x1 gig sticks. Then I saw something about SLI ready memory and I was all :hmm: Maybe what I orderd wont even work with my setup... So to answer that Ram question... I should of read up on stuff before I ordered the components. But who knows maybe they will work.

32'' Display? Wow. You thought the muscles on the Humans were big now?
