Er, the site says you save $70 on the barebones, which is nice, but not phenomenal as you made it sound IMO. I kind of agree that 8GB of RAM is kind of overkill though, especially if you're on a budget. Exactly what are you doing that makes your computer slow down with 2GB of RAM, Tsunade??
Also, you can probably ignore everything KimAykut just said. The GeForce 8800GT outperforms ATi's HD 3870 in practically every situation. And Vista is the only way you're going to get DX10. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Yeah, PC component prices have gone through the floor lately. I remember paying almost $200 for 2GB of RAM last year. ;_;
If budget is the concern, it's definitely a much better choice to cut down to 4GB or even 2GB of RAM than to skimp on your video card (again I have to ask exactly what Tsunade is running that could be so ridiculously memory intensive). But if you have other concerns, such as heat or noise, then yeah the 3870 would be a decent choice since it's better in both areas than the 8800GT.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
