789687 2009-07-07 07:30:00 Yeah, 12GB is OTT, 6GB is more than enough, and as Blam6 suggested Raid 2 Raptors, but i would RAID1 instead of RAID0, better read performance then write...and if the array is for games, you will want the best level loading.... SolMiester (139)

About 40 minutes from where I live to where he is.

789689 2009-07-07 11:00:00 Hmm. So when you turn 90 you'll still have this one?

That's right. If I were to live another 10 years I wouldn't have any money to buy food, never mind a computer

I was running 5 VMs simultaneously at one point on my desktop (with 1GB of RAM each) as an experiment and the machine barely broke a sweat! :D

Thanks for the offer,mate. I may call on you. At the moment I am waiting for a price to supply and build. See how much they can beat Ascent's price by before I will know

A slight exaggeration I'm sure.
However if you have decided it's the last, then get the 12GB of RAM as well, the core i7 and the best graphics there is. And Win7 64bit. Might as well make it as future proof as it can get..........
