1 ram slot = 1 channel

2 ram slots being read at the same time = dual channel

2 x 2 ram slots = 2 dual channels but 4 individual channels... its rather complex

Omg.... Forget this, lol, just answer this question...

Using 4 sticks of RAM in that computer at one time. Possible? Yes or no?

Ok, that's what I thought you meant.

Yeah, more or less what the other guys have said. I wouldnt bother with a much bigger PSU, you might need to upgrade in a year or two if you decide to get a power hungry Gcard. I'd use that money to buy more RAM. YOu're going to have to upgrade the RAM in a few months anyway if you intend to play any decent games.

Okay, well, I'm guessing my grandpa just put the order in since when we were going over the list on the phone the motherboard was still in stock and now it's not. He was going to just put in a order for everyone and than they were going to choose what they bought I think. Anywho, I CAN NOT wait!

Only downside is that I had to get a differant GPU, but I think that was a good thing... I like the new one better, most the specs are the same but it's GDDR3 and the cooler is fanless and looks cooler.

Just 1 question though, if my build uses DDR2 RAM, can I have a GDDR3 GPU? I'm sure it wouldn't make a differance, just wanted to check, Cabe?

Here's the new card:
MSI NX8600GT-T2D256EZ GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3

Also, stupid question, but can I install Ubuntu on this machine, I've always wanted to try it, but it won't work, I've got both the x32 and x64 share. So it seems like I should, but I haven't been able to on this or my last machine.

I know you do, it sucks, if I were Brittish, I'd import everything, it's probably cheaper if you get it from the right places.

Kernel Kev · 07-16-2007, 10:27 AM

Nah because then we get import tax, which ends up more than getting it here would.

Trust me the government have all Tax holes covered, shame they cant do the same with immegrants
