Asus P35 + 8800 GTS and get the most affordable RAM, RAM OC doesn't do much for system performance

jmke · 17th August 2007, 00:12

the GTS 320 is cheaper and a better deal, in stores for $240 and less!

I forgot to say guys this is a pre built system so i cant take Asus P35 with 8800 GTS. It has to be that one or the other. Btw the system costs £1000 does that sound fair to you?

jmke · 17th August 2007, 09:22

overpriced it sounds to me; why it is prebuild?
