Why only 3GB Ram? You could get 8GB and go 64 Bit

 

[newbie1323]

That is the one error, i found 6g of ocz platinum ram for the same price so chose that with vista 64 bit

i have that

 

[newbie1323]

not 8 gig on a ddr3 tri channel motherboard, it goes up in increments of three, so its 6 gig max i think, may be wrong thoguh

o...no mine is only DDR2. i should have been a little more detailed LOL.

You are correct about ddr3.

Its a shame i didnt get to keep it, my friend isnt as knolagable about how to build copmuters than me so im putting it together, trying crysis on very high settings, after ive overclocked it ill try it with every setting on max and ill post the fps, looking foward to building it though

 

[LukaszR1]

i bet you are. i know when i got all my parts...i was really excited to finally put it all together and get that first game in.

Use fraps when you are going to check the FPS in Crysis.
