I actually think it might be 6Gb. I need to check. it was so long ago that I built it, I've forgotten! I put down 4 in case that was it. Seems some people think that bumping up the ram is a better deal. Hmmm...

Bumping up ram has no effect.... its a 32 bit application. it will use at most 2.x gig. the rest will be scratched to you HDD. so HDD is a better upgrade. since you got a pretty nice cpu

I may end up getting a new gpu anyway since the 260 is showing its age. |

Yeah, kick back and relax and when it's all bells and whistles then think about it.

Anyone know a good guide for overclocking the i7 940?
I've got very little experience with it. I've heard that if you've got good case airflow that you can OC the i7 920/940 a bit without needing anything other than the stock fan/heatsink. Obviously not gonna push 4ghz, but I think you can get it to 3.2 or some such. I've got a nice roomy Antec P180 case. |

Google on overclock, there are many sites with forums for overclockers.
The information on those sites is very up to date on latest equipment too. |

Get on overclock.net, BW. You won't find a better place to learn overclocking all at one forum. Well, you have extremesystems.com but they have slower servers.
As for the upgrade, get rid of that GTX260 and slap whatever upgrade you can afford in there instead. Your proc is probably bored. Do NOT overclock that cpu more than max 200mHz with a stock cooler. They emit heat faster than you can say barbeque. Last edited by kimosabi; 03-30-2011 at 05:52 PM. |
