new build up

[Boneless_Bangus]

It's been a while now since I built my current rig and im still learning about the new stuff. So it is time for a new pc as new games are requiring more juice and majority of the time it will be used for multimedia and 3d graphics.

I would like to get some suggestions on good ddr2 ram and should I upgrade to vista 32/64 or stick with xp? thanks guys.

These are currently in storage

- What do you mean by "in storage"? Did you already buy those items?
- What size monitor do you have?
- Do you already have a legit reusable copy of XP on hand? If so and if you don't mind not being able to use more than 2.5 to 3.GB of RAM, stick with XP. If you want to use 4GB of RAM and more, get Vista 64bit.

RAM recommendation:
G.Skill F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ 2 x 2GB DDR2 1000 RAM - $73

Oh sorry storage as in stored in my closet.

As for the monitor i'll be using 22" triple widescreens and yes I do have a reusable xp disc.

Thanks for the link.

If you're buying a new OS, get Vista 64-bit. If you're not buying a new OS, keep your current one. Vista 64-bit is good if you want to use 4GB or more RAM and don't have any old hardware/software on the new system.
