e6750 or e6850?

It does play Crysis. My 8800gts 320mb plays crisis at 1280x1024 with efects on high (no AA though).

. Thus, i would advise just buying a 2x1gb kit and a 2x512mb kit to make 3gb of RAM. Same performance, less money.

Or just get 3x1GB Sticks.

1 8800 will not play crysis, even on low settings you will have bad fps.. around 30 and it will drop lower then that.

That is wrong, you obviously know nothing about computers and how they run.

Crysis was specifically built for a DX10 card, why would NVidia invest in a game like Crysis if it would not run it?

I can play Crysis @ 1280x1024 at an average of 35 fps with everything on high. Have you actually played Crysis at 30fps its a smooth as silk.

If, however, i try on ultra high it goes down to 15fps which is still playable until you meet resistance which in turn comes out like a slide show.

You have to also think about what your running in the background on windows, i am on Vista 64 HP and it does use alot of extra crap but if you are like me and have been using computers for a long long time you will know what you need to keep on and what you don't and for what you turn off gives you an extra boost in ram and cpu usage.

It's better to use 2x1gb and 2x512mb as they run in dual channel mode.

3x1GB also runs in dual channel. If your motherboard has Intel Flex Memory Technology™.

You like your Branded technologies don't you Camper. :p

Oh man my locla fry's has a e6550 with a ecs motherboard(i havent heard much about these boards.) for only $150.


I missed on black friday the quad core for only $200!!!

[=98=]

Yeah, ECS aren't renowned for brilliant products. (They are budget)

[solofowaffles]

Yes but it is quite a deal as the processor alone usually sells for 200.I wish i could have picked up the quad core though!ALmost grabbed the last evga superclocked 8800gt for 280 but noo right as i point it out to my dad,some ******* grabs it and runs to the cashier.:angry:

I don't think there are really any big brand shops that sell high end hardware like that...

Even if you found one, there would be a £50 premium on the parts.

[solofowaffles]

Its a hit and miss with parts at retail stores,sometimes you can find real deals,earlier this week best buy had a Oc'd bfg 8800gt for $250.
