Ticket Number is: 258421
I forgot to upgrade to vista 64 on this build but will on my final build. Also I plan on picking up another 3 gig of memory from newegg and adding it to the system. Not sure what resolution I'm going to be gaming at but I hope to be purchasing a 24' widescreen to go with this system. Looking to spend around 2500ish. |

Been playing LOTR online and will play alot of 1st person shooters like the upcoming id tech 5 games etc.
Diablo III and Starcraft 2 are on my list. I will definately check out Kotor online when it comes out, but shortrun mostly will be LOTR. |

here you go Ticket# 258424 --- Price: $2529 (To see this build click here) Price after current promotion $2454

Fusion-io is gonna be a pci card but it has crazy speed, I'm sure it will have a crazy price. anyways withing the next 30 to 60 days one or both should be out so you can see which you want and then use that drive for OS HDD1, and move the 500GB for storage to HDD2 |

That build DST4ME has is exactly what I have except I have two DVD writers. I also picked up an additional 3 gig from newegg and a 24" monitor which I use to play at resolution of 1920 x 1200. Nice setup there and I am totally thrilled with mine. I play everything max graphics and find she runs smooth as ice, except for Crysis i experience slowmo for a second or two once in a while, but that game maxed everything is intense.
