[Recursion]

Crucial are the best possible choice. They offer the best warranty and performance (The ballistix anyway)

Go buy some Gefore 8000 series card with 256mb for like £25

2GB will be ok for gaming but not higher end games. Processor is quite weak. Get a dual core that is atleast 2.1 GHz per core.

[Stephen!]

If you are going for cheap RAM, the more the better. You see, cheap Ram runs at low speeds. This means it gets filled up quickly and you soon find yourself running out of memory. Either get 4GB of cheap RAM, or get 2GB of fast.

At the end of the day though, it's up to you.

[blanky12!]

I see.

I'm going to go buy 2GB of Kingston Memory, + a Geforce 800 series

or can that mobo handle 4GB?

[Recursion]

You will need a 64-bit OS for 4GB. Also you won't get a decent 8 series Nvidia card for the budget your on.

[blanky12!]

I think windows vista SP1 now allows' you to have a 32bit os

[Recursion]

No it doesn't, it will show 4GB but only use 3.25 or under including video RAM etc etc...

[N!ck]

No it doesn't, it will show 4GB but only use 3.25 or under including video RAM etc etc...

If the RAM is in 4 x 1Gb modules it will use 3GB, if it is it 2 x 2GB modules it will only use 2GB. You can't use part of a module.

[blanky12!]

okay, well i'm only getting 2GB kingston anyways.
