Topic: config need expert advice Posted: 17 Oct 2008 at 11:38am |
well im still working on my configuration and have a question . the config i did
is listed below Ticket #195954 .could someone point out the differences
betwwen my config. and DS GTO special deal? i know the MOBO is a 780
vs 790 and DDR2 vs DDR3 . is this really a big enough change to spend the extra
$$$ on this ?? but i do want a system to last a couple of years before being
outdated like my DS rig that i have now. which is 4 yrs old . still runs GREAT
but im a gamer and need a new rig to be ready for the future. Have done a lot of research and am hearing about a new Intel chip coming out?? any advice as ususal would be helpful..thanks

there's something wrong with that ticket number, it points to a $12000 system.
what resolution are you going to be gaming at? Edited by DST4ME - 17 Oct 2008 at 12:25pm |
