    'lo joe I se you finally jioned up :thumb:

    You know what i'm gogin to say, get the 256mb 6800gt it's soo much better than the 128mb.

    Also for you that don't know this is mainly going to be bought from ebay, hence the lower prices :)

    Welcome to Bit-Tech! The spec is looking quite good except for a few things:

    This is the most important thing. It's advisable to get hold of some quality branded RAM - such memory is usually pre-tested and most of it comes with a lifetime warranty. If that generic stuff fails, you'll be stuck with a worthless piece of fiberglass, metal and silicon that isn't capable of anything.

    I would recommend purchasing a model with 256MB of memory. Modern, graphically intensive games will need this, especially if you are running at resolutions of 1280x1024 or above.

    P.S: In future, be a bit more conservative with the emoticons ;)
